Spent some time today working on the frame. I was able to only get about three quarters of the silver bullet on. It looks pretty good. I need to order some more and some black top coat for the axles and springs.

Well my build is still on, it will be put on hold until I can get back on my feet. I have started the auto detailing business and will have an income here pretty soon. I have changed directions a little bit because I sold some parts to get by. I sold the bed, 6Bt, and the diesel ZF5. I am still going Cummins but it will be with a 4bt instead.. In the end it will cost me a little more because I found the cummins and ZF5 for such good deals. And I will probably go back to a flat bed dump. Luckily nobody wanted to buy all the other parts so I will just hold onto them till I can get back on top of things. So for the next 5 months to a year the project is on hold..
