I dont have a wife anymore...but my oldest son (22yrs) and my other son (16yrs) wants to get into this hobby too....but they both know that I will be digging in there parts boxes and looking over there shoulder's every other minute asking " can I help you with that....or here let me try" lol

[PROBUILDER1964]

I am so thrilled to see a lady getting involved into something like this ! I say to you shy girl " YOU GO GIRL ! " and try and get some of your friends involved too.... From what i see from these pics you've posted...your on the right track ! The cut down sleeper looks great ! keep up the good work .....keep us posted on your progress......

Thanks for the comments.....I'm very excited to get this build finished. I just got my frame rails so I should have the truck assembled sometime this weekend. That is all but the cab...that is going away to get painted as soon as everything is sanded again! As for my friends I'll try to get them involved but no promises!

They do come with stock rails but if ya want them longer ya have to get aftermarket ones. Ya can get them at gardentrucking.com. I'm not sure how much tho
