I like to see good work in shops that I can't afford.
If I had your body-work skills and abilities, I would have grafted the two cabs into one monster six-door and stretched the rails.
A guy up the road, way before diesels were ever available, used to stretch 4-door Chevys and graft on Oldsmobile Vista-Cruiser roofs; he scavenged every junk-yard for miles around and butchered every Vista-Cruiser he could find; he is solely responsible for making them so rare today.
Nobody complained about the head-room in those Vista-Cruiser trucks.

Yeah Ken I followed your build thread over there too, before i found this site.
I guess I could of moved the tank down , never thought of that .
To use the CC tank I made new steel fuel lines and spliced the gas gage wires.
but lost the low fuel light
