Picked out the cab, cut it, fixed some dents, and started to sand blast.

I'm tuned in now Ron and RonJr. :drool:
I dig the dusty sage and black decision too. Although it is tons of work it will be prouder than a 4x you can buy....or can't buy a$ well. :D
Good job....key in on Rawmis 64 Daily Driver build...he used a lot of everything but used jeep suspension or axels.....anyways maybe some ideas to work off of and good pics.

Its been a while, i had to take care of some honeydos. ;) and its cold out there! I just placed an order for a lot of metal. I ordered- Sheeting, tubular, and angle. It should be in sometime this next week. So i will start posting pics again as we get going. I cant wait. As long as i can fab the rear of the cab, the rest should be fairly straight forward. ;) :D

Here is an 8ft metal brake i just got so i could bend the bed side panels and tailgate sheeting. Im using 18 gauge sheet metal and 1x2x.120 for the side top rails. .065 (1/16") would have worked, but i chose the .120 (1/8") because it will add some weight to this bed and it wont dent as easily. :D

Nice score on the brake! That is one heavy duty monster.

That will be a stout bed on the ute. I like the choice of materials. Looking forward to seeing the progression of the build.
