    Thanks fellas. Been a long road to get here, I just hope the truck works good for him.

    So the deckplate frame is 3'' C channel on edge. That lifted the walking surface high enough for the fenders to be at the right height. There is no front fender bracket, they are bolted directly to the c channel of the deckplate. If we had another foot of room we could have changed it up quite a bit but we were fighting for every inch of space to get this all fit in.

    I'm just a mechanic. Its actually a company truck but built for a specific driver. The driver listed off what he wanted and then turned me loose. We were basically on the same page for everything, if I wanted a similar truck for myself this is exactly how I would do it.

    Finally managed to get down the road far enough for the nuts to relax and get the tarp completely over into the whatever you call that part it hooks into. Still ugly. Still trying to catch some wind. 19 tons o nuts dont fit so good in a standard side trailer.

    One of my most enjoyable things growing up was a trip to the woods, which wasn’t far lol, just around the old road a spell and you slowly got engulfed into a different world.

    Always treasured time alone hunting, didn’t matter if I seen anything or not, sometimes the soul cleansing is more important....?
