I sold both of the green trucks last Monday to a guy in Ogden. Nice guy and he says he's looking to use them as a business expense and promotion. Parades and such. A heating company... Grimes. Now I can get serious about my own truck.

Sorry Gary, I haven't been around for a while. I sold the two green trucks to one guy. I think he was somewhere up close to Ogden. He came to look at the B and when I offered to sell him both he barely hesitated.

Wish I could post pics of the red truck in progress but all my pics seem to be too large (?) for the site to accept.

I had a great day. Cutting and splicing the two cabs together for the body swap... and never really knowing if the vision was going to work as it seemed in my head. A week of work with no sure outcome... and the possibility of ruining the cab parts I need to have.

But today it all came together. The firewall fits, the floor will fit with a little tweaking, and the body mounts will be where they should be so the steering column, brakes, and accelerator all fit without having to be modified.

WHOOP, WHOOP!!!

The chassis swap is looking good so far. The Chevy floor looks good in the M37 cab.

I think I finally figured out how to resize my photos. Thanks Gary.
