That Buick horn ring reminded me of the old Halloween night prank of wedging something between the ring and wheel!

Got the wheel wells aligned and front end mount made. Definitely need bigger/wider wheels.

Body is mounted. Cab is 9" above the frame.... Those 160 front fenders are tall!

Matt- the truck looks incredible!! Love the L160 fenders!! They have such presence. " Large and- in charge!!" Comes to mind. One tough looking truck.

You could make your fender situation easier if you replaced those "big-boy" fenders with fenders from a pickup.
I like your shop.

I know lots of guys do just that. I dont want waste them, plus they match. I found where a guy put a 55 IH COE on a fwd Cadillac frame....if he can do that, this is cake.
