I'm going to be adding pictures to my sons truck build today.. Just have to get some things done first..

But here's a sneak peak..


This is what he bought home to build.. The only thing from this truck we kept.. Was the cab.. More on this a little later..[;)

I caught a glimpse of those ford fender/bedsides in the background on one of your other builds..those turned out pretty cool..

Nice truck
 
That looks alot better doc. you saved the patient...it'll live [cl
 
I like the deck over the driveway and the privacy fence..More shop space to beat square foot limits in the building codes???

had an idea since I don't have any decent soil and very little yard for a garden...
I've got a 22 deep x 34 wide garage and was thinking of going with a "car port" or deck over half the patio 12'-16' wide by 30' (from the garage to the house) and creating an elevated garden or maybe just a deck with tin underneath to catch the rain that gets through and privacy fence like you have.
In the winter it wouldn't be any big deal to stick up a few sheets of foam inside to block the wind

Thanks Guy's..It's just a carprot.. But now you given me a Idea..[S Just may have to make a deck up there now...:D
My shop is 22 w x 32 d .. Never big enough... The carport is 14' w x 60' L Comes in handy..
 
This truck already had a chop done.. But was in really bad shape.. The roof was caved in where some kids was jumping on it.. It was a mess.. No floor at all.. So the first thing was to get the floor in this thing..[;)
