That's cool. I used to have an '89 longbox 2WD... Always wanted to swap the anemic 2.9 for a 5.0.[ddd I believe minitrucks are today's answer to the V-8 Vegas and Pintos of yesteryear...;) Too bad many places have all these restrictive smog laws to deal with. Here in So Ont, we have smog police...

All good ideas as to your body mods. I think I'd try the "dehumping" operation on the doors first. That way, if the cab still looks too wide, then you can narrow and chop at the same time-why do the job twice?:D Like the idea of cutting down the windshield opening... they look kinda...

Dude, is that a spoon on top of your front spring perch?:D Truck looks great, glad you're enjoying it! I think yours is what this segment of the hobby is all about-building something fun from next to nothing-and driving the wheels off of it!:cool: Regards, Shea:)

Strip the paint where it is, you shouldn't have to strip where the "patina" is... Why not go with traditional suspension front and rear? Smaller kickup necessary out back, less space needed for air tank, compressor and switches. I know it's a small cab, but it's not a mini truck.;) They...

Dude, that's a beautiful cab you got there.:cool: Like the others have said, money spent on good metal to start with is money well spent.:) The little truck in my avitar is a great example... I paid $800 for it off a used car lot 6 years ago and promptly removed and scrapped almost everything...

That's too funny!:D No baffles in there?;) Regards, Shea:)

Those are some a$$-kickin' pipes, for sure!:cool: Really cool that you did that yourself, with all common DIY tools, too!:cool: Also, viva la chrome! I like shiny stuff!:D Regards, Shea:)

Good idea... No messing around trying to trim those stock inners.:cool: Progress looks good, I hadn't had time lately to dig back and see what you were up to on this one. Raining here today, so what the heck.:D I really like that you're taking the time to explain your solutions to all the...

Looks good!:cool: Regards, Shea:)

Looks like a done deal to me.:):cool: Regards, Shea:)

Nice truck you've got there!:cool: Sounds like you're making some good progress... Keep up the good work![cl[P You Prairie Provence guys are SSOOOO lucky when it comes to old vehicles... We never find them that solid in Ontario.:( Hope everything works out as you're planning.:cool: Regards...

Car's coming along nicely![;) Little stuff like the window opening and channel mods you've just detailed are what elevate this beyond the level of a "rat rod" in my honest opinion. This has become a home-built car done within traditional guidelines to a high level of quality.[cl[P I can...

Looking pretty good to me so far!:cool: Looks like you lengthened the chassis behind the front suspension... How much did you have to add in there?[;) Regards, Shea:)

Fresh thinking, going to be interesting to see where this puppy goes![;):cool: Thanks for taking the time to share![P Regards, Shea:)

Liking your Mad Maverick!:cool: Welcome to RRR! This is a great place to hang out, populated with a cool bunch of folks from all corners of the automotive hobby spectrum. Now get out there and enjoy that little car!:cool::D Regards, Shea:)

Dude, that's AWESOME!!!:D:D Big, happy "Daddy with two daughters too" grin heading in your direction.:D Regards, Shea:)

I don't even have a "Rat Rod," so I don't know that my opinion counts, but whatever.[S I've owned a little bit of everything, but most of the "Domestics" I've owned have been Chevrolet or General Motors. Currently, our fleet consists of one Chevrolet (in pieces, all over the garage) and two...

S**t, brother, that's just a mechanic thing right across the board. Doesn't matter whether you work on cars or school buses...:D Truck's looking great![;)[P Regards, Shea:)

Amen, Brother![cl It's amazing what the big people in the office want you to overlook.:( Regards, Shea:)

Nice pictures, thanks for sharing!:cool::cool: I really love the lines of your car, it has a very "swoopy" look about it, the way all those character lines flow around the cowl.:cool: Now, to show off my stupidity... Uh, "What kind of car is it?":o Regards, Shea:)
