Well the trailer is supposed to be here monday so I figured I better get this truck done. Although we are expecting 8-18 inches of snow sunday/monday so i would bet the trailer will be delayed. Anyways, other than a few stickers its complete. 3 speed shift from the controller transmission is pretty cool.


Didn't want to spend 45 bucks on a custom driveshaft so I cut the stock one in half, turned down the ends of a steel rod, and inserted them in the hollow ends of the stock driveshaft. Drilled, tapped, and used set screws to keep it from turning. The driveshaft gives you a pretty good idea of how much longer than stock the truck is.



here is the progression to completion.


























(just noticed the missing fog light, it has been found and replaced)
