Will finish the rest of the floor tomorrow. And start on the roof next .

I still think you should make the top panel removable,as some day you might have to do the clutch
. Good thing I know we're 12 International trucks are hidding. Will just go cut a roof off one of them .

Definitely not cake decorating here by buying parts in a catalog and bolting them on.
I don't think I've bolted on a part yet that didn't need custom work to get to fit . Everything is fighting me on this truck. But having a fully mechanical Diesel 4wd Dually on 40s making smoke clouds everywhere it goes is all the motivation I need
I'm now at 35k spent on this and all I have to show for it is a pile of parts. And a rusty Cab.
Wait until you see the custom sound system Ive been designing. Making the sheet metal on my Ram flex was easy with the 2 Kicker 12" L7s But this beast has 14gauge sheet metal. So 4 Kicker L7s will be needed

Dang, that whole cab looked good.

It's as hot as 2 rats fucxing in a wool sock this afternoon. This is as far as I got. Only warped in one spot so I relief cut it and will stich it tomorrow. I wish I had a spot welder to pull the welds out were I don't have access from inside the cab for my hammer and dolley. . So my slide hammer and self tapping screws had to do.
I don't like using more than 1/16 to 1/8 of Metal-2-Metal , so I got a fair bit of dolley and hammer tommorow as well.

Fucc me, I could've gone with 42s 
hopefully when the fenders are on it will barely clear so I can feel better about my dumb 40" choice.

My 60$ eBay find. The exact same as the one set that was on my R190 when I got it.
I didn't like how it look with just one set on the driver side. Now everything will be cemetrical.
