    I know its been awhile since the last update.
    Ive been really busy with customers and trying to find parts.

    I found a 1972 Dodge Champion motorhome that Im using for the chassis. As soon as it warms up Im having it dustless blasted.
    I bought a set of doors from a guy in Canada, but before I could go get them they closed the border. So now I have to wait to get them.
    I finally got the time to pull the cab and get started on the bodywork. Theres a little bit of rust, but not as much as I thought there would be, considering how long its been sitting and how far it had sunk into the ground.
    The engine and trans have been sourced, a 24v Cummins and a built 47re.  L600 project - Page 2 20191012

    Thanks, that would be great.

    There isnt going to be much of the original truck thats gonna be used, mainly the cab.
    But, I could always a little help from someone that knows more about them than me.

    I noticed an Econoline in one of the pics that you couldn't even see in the first set of pics...

    That metal work looks light-years better than those Chunks of bondo!

    Thanks, it was a bit late when I put them up and I wasnt paying attention.

    Thats my 66, Im trying to get it ready to take down to Autorama. Ive done a bit of work to it too. I put in a 351w and aod, Fitec efi, front discs and a lot more small stuff.

    This cab is in really good shape overall. Theres a little rust here and there. The worst is the floors, and I think its because of the way way the doors were bent out of shape at the top.
    I had to repair both corners, one was previously "repaired", the other side was left open.
    I was hoping to have it done this year, but its not looking good now.

    It’s coming along nicely! I love the look of these because they look like a Dodge Pup on steroids! Great project!!!
