Got some more done. A lot of super structure work . Got the passenger side sheet metal cut and started to form. My help is working overtime so I'm doing it by myself.

Mom wanted a pix as I'm always telling her about what I've done so MsDee said to do it this way ;D There is kinda an illusion because of the light but it looks like the cowl has to come up about an inch to match the bed. I put the cab light up there with a flashlight for illumination. Thinking it's gonna need a big sunvisor kinda like a big truck has. My help was cold. Hate to see what he's gonna do when it gets cold out. 5 years in Minnesota didn't rub off on him thats for sure. Of course he runs a press where it's always 120 plus thats the temp it has to be for the ink.

Got a lot of cleaning done  :o Also got the radiator mocked up, it's really close to being factory. The fan is 1/2 way into the shroud. A/C coil is gonna be hard to do but I'll cross that bridge later.

Got the floor finally done. Doing a little more welding then it's disassembly time and finish the welds up and finally mount it for the last time. MsDee loves to sneak up and take pix of me busy.

I'm curious as to why a person can't ask for shit? What is the thought process behind that? I help allot of people in the late model class at our local circle track and donate parts and time. If a person needs a part and I can help, I do. Not everything is about money when you enjoy your hobby and helping friends.

Once oldskool came to Cheyenne and had some vehicle issues. I drove out to where he was broke down, helped get him running. Brought him out to my shop and we fixed his truck. Should I have charged him for the help? I would do this for anyone on this site or people I know locally.

This is just what most of us do!!  We don't EXPECT anything in return, and usually we get twice back when we find ourselves in need!!
