Cab bare metaled.Welded up unwanted drlled holes in bulk head and smoothed it off.

Lined up panels as the panel fitment on these trucks is a joke,so made the cab fit the doors.
Ford 9inch rear axle,i moved the rear shock mounts so i can get larger rear wheels on it.
Welded up the bonnet and got rid of badges and smoothed it.
