A few years back I drug this beast out of one of the local fields here in so cal. Its a 40'ish Ford COE. I was going to make into a regular car hauler when I relized I didnt have a place to park a giant rig like that. So I decided to make it into P/U parts chaser for the shop. With the addition of a 5th wheel hitch it should get the job done as well as beeing able to park it in a regular sized spot.
I got out the plasma and used a donor Trans am as its complete drive train... even the drive shaft. I built a frame, chopped the roof 3 inches, channeled it 12 inches. and roughed everything in including the home built bed.
I havnt worked on it for a few years now and Im wanting and needing to get it up and road worthy. Im thinking about loosing the wheels and going with steelies and beauty ring, finishing the bed, throwing a cummings 6 in it and some side stacks.
Here lies the question...
What else does this thing need that Im not seeing? How far should I go with it? I did some photo shop work to it and made it flat black but I dont like it. Any help seeing this thing through different eyes would be appreciated.
