I haven't posted any updates in a while... here are a few pics of the on going progress.

I'm into the project pretty deep right now ($$) and unfortunately it doesn't look like I'll be able to continue with it at this time or in the near future.

Anybody interested in taking over?

Oh hey, that's super cool, Gary......nice to see progress! Do you have a (somewhat) estimated time of completion yet? What's the final color combo gonna be?

I believe the truck originally belonged to Bell Telephone because of its lack of options and olive drab paint underneath.
So, I was thinking of repainting it the same color and possibly getting the old yellow Bell logo on the door. I also had another idea of doing a faux wood body wrap on the rampside's belt line since I do wood flooring.

As far as completion date, in this economy, who knows.
