All the body work is done and painting continues.

The box and running boards are on and test fit for length.  With this S-10 frame, I had to shorten the box and running board by 5 1/2".

Here is the tig welded running board and the shortened splash apron.

The inside of the box was raised 3" and new floor structure built to match up to the frame.

New patch panels were put into the cab to fix the minor rust.
