36 gmc

Well this is my first build like this. I've built several motorcycles and rock crawlers but never anything like this. Something i have been wanting to do for a while. Plans so far are to channel the body 3-4" chop the roof 2" And build a frame out of 2x4. Probably a Cadillac 500 with a th400 or something like that. not really set on drivetrain yet. I would love to do a 12v cummins or something like that but this is gonna be kinda a budget build since im currently unemployed and only make money by building custom motorcycles and doing fab work out of my garage LOL But as you can tell im very excited for this build. I will be updating with pictures quite frequently.[P

Welcome from New Mexico.
Why not build two? Ya got 2 cabs.

My dad wants the other cab. But i won't start working on that until after I finish mine. So eventually I will do both of them.

personal opinion, and something I really want to do.............

Graft the two cabs together.... extended cab, chop top, parts runner!!! I think it would be sweet!

Raptor City must tie in with where you're from. What part of the county are you from.

Got started on getting the doors to open and close. The passenger door has the stock latch and I got it working good and the door opening and closing good. But the drivers door was basically gutted. So I decided to come up with my own latch and it actually works really good. Still need to finish some of the webbing.

Cool idea with the round stock, I see webs in the making.

Thank you! And you are definitely right. I need to get some more material to finish it. All my material for the frame and everything to channel the floor came today. So i will be starting on that soon.

I've also decided im pretty sure im going to build the truck right hand drive.
