what a beauty, i wonder why the dog box wasn’t a bit nicer looking , to go with the rest of the truck, i know its your dads truck so i guess that is what he wanted, but i can sure think of a few different ways it could have looked…i was wondering what you used to attach the wood to the ceiling in the cab, ive got an older chevy i might want to do the same type of thing…have fun making those deliveries..grizz

Nice woodwork. Great job.

I agree about the box. When it becomes my truck, I’ll build something else. There were a few things I would have done differently, but it’s his and it’s not a show truck. He was on a tight budget and it only took 6 moths to build, so it looks pretty good for being built in his backyard. Tricky to drive, but its fun.

-- It don't have to be straight,it's just a suggestion!!!

Wow! Does this ever bring back my 11th year of life! The rest is so purty, I wouldn’t even have noticed the box if y’all hadn’t brought it up. Nicely done.

-- When did quiet and quite become the same word ? I'm guessing about the same time as your and you're did.

what did you use to make the wood adhere to the top…???,,,please.

That one must have quite a purr when running!

Grizzman, The cab did not have a headliner when my dad picked it up. He built a curved frame to match the contour of the roof and attached the frame to the celing. Then he pin nailed the T&G to the frame. I wish I had some photos to explain better. I’ll be doing the same type headliner in my 72 ford soon and I’ll document how I do it. Mine has a headliner, so I’ll probably remove it to have a pattern for my frame. Hope that helps.
