Well i have the front end in and the air ride took and cleaned all the brackets off the front part of the frame, went and got the parts truck so that i can start to cut the frame and make a long bed into a short bed and the make the frame 26" longer to extent the cab.When i went to get the parts truck i also got the trans and engine.
Well now i can start on doing some cutting, so far everything is looking great the cab on the truck is in good shape no rust.I have sent some pics to Jason i hope he will put them up for me.....Johnny

What are you doing for controls and entry/exit? Ramps? Hydraulics? Swing out trapeze?(not a joke) Maybe you can get that figured into your plan before it becomes an issue. I have seen a lot of different designs and I'm sure there's a lot of fresh ideas on this site that can help make it a clean installation. Keep us up to speed!

Johnny, if ya need a connection to hand controls, ramps or any other handicapped apparatus that'll make life easier, Let me know. I deal with a company in Glen Rock PA called MITTS and they have all ya need.
E-Mail me if ya want the phone number. Just to forewarn ya...hand controls alone run $1,100 to $2,500. Aint cheap but if it's a must then it's worth the spending.
Let me know if I can be of any help in finding what ya need.
