Moving right along at a crazy fast pace. You are making me look bad lol.

Not sure how I feel about the lime green but I guess it goes with the "Monster Energy" theme you are after. Did you conciser switching  out the rear drums for disks ? It certainly seems like you have the fabrication abilities to build your own caliper mount.

I'm realy far of be retired i'm only 23 year old and for the time me and my father are in school bus company in winter so between run i have time for my project about 2 hours for morning, and 2 hour for afternoon and this week we are in Spring Break but summer is a other thing we are in funerary monument so we are realy busy in the summer and relax winter.

yea i also consider swap for disc brake at the rear but for now i did a lot of works so i will try the truck like this, and maybe next year did some upgrade.

23 years old! You've got some mad skills young man!, keep up the great work  ;D Having a space big enough to work on a bus sure makes things a bit easier I imagine. So after looking at the logos from the pics I'm still trying to guess where your at, Quebec maybe?

Today, i worked on the inside of the truck. I got 1/16" aluminium plate ( yes at least one thing in that truck can't rust  :laugh:) and i shear my plate at  local work shop after i finish cut and hole with zip cut.  i know it's not very original but i like the result and it's maintenance free. i also receive my mufler and my fuel tank, the both was destroy by rust. when i finish the truck it's sure i reserve a place in my home garage.

The bumper fitment looks excellent, they appear as though they can take a beating.

They do look good,  I especially like that receiver on the back, although it may be a little low for me.  And that exhaust pipe may get flattened out.
From your first photos, I would have thought it would take much longer for this transformation.  Now for the action shots, and enjoyment of what you have created.

WOW, great work...  8) when I was reading through this the other day I meant to suggest that you raise the gas tank since you had everything apart.... but it looks like you fit it nice and tight against the body anyway  8)
