UPDATE! Ha. Psyche. It’s still sitting in North Dakota waiting for me. Life has been nuts the last 2 months. Culminating in the passing of my Grammie. Funeral was today. The plan was to go get it this week. Wednesday is mine and chars 20th anniversary. Apparently she didn’t...

I seen the posts. I was really hoping that was not the cause. So so sorry Chad.

@jeeper I’m game for some competition. Bring it!!!

I guess he is done working on it, but not done playing with it. 🤣 Decided to load his rig up for a test

Shane is done with what he wanted to do. Obviously it was more than I was expecting. Now I just need to go get the thing

Progress slowed a little. Shane made these stacks for a cab over he was building a few years ago. He ended up selling it with the stock stacks so these have been sitting. Another smoking deal and they are currently being installed. I will most likely cut them down a foot or two He...

Well said Chad. I’ve struggled with how to put my thoughts into words on this and I better not even try. But that covers it pretty dang well

I will take it!

Shane is slowly tinkering with the truck. He got the good used steer tires put on and even gave the wheels a hill billy half ass polish. He said they need sanded and he ain’t got no time for that. Haha. So much better. Then he said he got tired of looking at the stickers on it...

The larger sleeper isn’t as attractive on the outside but almost a need on the inside! There is 15 feet of frame behind the stacks. Planning a 16 foot flatbed plus a dovetail. The Volvo bed was 16 foot total. So I will have a little more room

I’ve been a fan of cabovers as long as I can remember. Probably transformers as a kid if I were to take a guess at the start. I had been mostly happy with my Volvo semi truck. I paid 3000 for it, put like 1500 into building the flatbed, tires, and a radiator and that’s really about it...

Something me and Dad always talked about doing and never did.

Way cool!!
