No it's an International

Sorry, I was referring to the pics Mac posted.

Snopro, yes, that's a '56 Dodge box with nice tailgate. The tailgate has a blank space where the name usually goes, perfect for a 'make' swap.

Most people don't know internationals, so most won't notice anything is different anyways :p. I notice when a truck has a different box/fenders, but most don't haha.

That trans mount is a work of art!
 
Thanks crew, we really like building stuff that has eye appeal.
I've got my youngest grandson and a family friend working with me. Their youth keeps me upbeat and they are very talented too.
 
OI, I'm with you on 'feeding off the younger guys enthusiasm'. When some of my nephews started coming around and showing and interest in old cars, I got cranked up a wee bit.
The younger guys fed off your wisdom, so you're even.
 
gorgeous work!

I would have 10 trucks done with even a single helper. its just me and the jacks though. my wife doesnt like that I named my ratchet strap after her, because I ask for help, wait 20 minutes, ask for help again, wait 20 minutes, find a way to hold it with a ratchet strap and move on with life.

my favorote saying is "I had to move something heavy, luckily my wife was home so I went ahead and moved it myself"
 
A few more pics of the frame as a roller before we start putting the body back on tomorrow.

Got back on this one after doing some fencing at my son in laws.
There was very little work on the tranny tunnel that needed done. Unlike the Chevy's I've done :D
