Nice image (the last one, welding in the bed).
keith.
(sent from my rotary dial phone.)
nice to see a fella floridian doing what we do best. i was born & raised in tampa & spent most of my adult life down there roaming the swamps of LAND O LAKES sitting on 52's. i hope the 496 makes alot of smoke. u do realize the 5 tons are geared higher than the dueces. with taller gears & a tire that wide ( as well as tall), she is gonna need plenty. what part of fl. are yall from? i have MUDKAISER as my screen saver & would love to build her sister but here in ga. u're better off short & wide. keep up the great work.
thanks, yes i realize the 5 tons are 6.44 rather than the 2.5 tons which are 6.72 but im going 4:1 on the transfer case so its all good. we are 45 min north of tampa. i raced years ago at Land o Lakes mud bog. thanks for the compliment on the mudkaiser.
that should do it. sometimes i wish i was still there. i miss the circle of trucks around the fire after a good day of diggin. i'd also probably be right there beside u working on that truck. that's the way we did it when i was a young man. lol
a little inspiration...

Nice work on the fender area
thanks, i wish i had more stock floor material to finish the floor. i guess i will just put expanded metal, at least the mud will just fall through
Someone here had some floor they were willing to part with a few months ago. Post a wanted.
A regular J trucks pattern is the same also. It's just 16ga vs 14ga the M has. They also have a fuel tank skid plate that's the same material, a couple sq. ft. there.
