Great idea Mike. Big B would be a hit plus we could make Shane an official ODSS member! Plenty of room at camp Stovebolt.

Very nice truck.
I am just starting to work on my 59 LCF. I would like to some day make it into a 3 door crew cab but to not yet have your talent for welding and fabricating. I will keep a copy of your build pictures as a how to manual.

Frank V,
Don't hesitate to get in touch with me when you are ready to tackle the crew cab part of it. I am always willing to help a fellow stovebolter out.
