Next step is to build some rolling body carts for the cab and bed. Need one for the doors to hang on as well. That will be the next update.
This is a journal of my projects. (Thanks to the wife for this idea) It is a bit easier to update this blog than anything else, and probably more accessible for myself and others. So enjoy!

Cab is off!
The process wasn’t as sketch as I thought it’d be. So glad I have a lift. The front two body mount bolts/bushings will probably need to be cut off as they did not want to budge. Luckily Tyler has removed the nuts a long time ago so all I had to do was push a button and the lift took her right up.

Bed removal
Huge thanks to Tyler for helping me today. It was tricky, but we got the bed off and moved the cab/frame to under the lift. Will be using the lift to remove the cab.
This weekend the cab should be removed. Between now and then I need to fab up some door carts.



Will be taking every part, nut & bolt off this bad girl. Sanding, scrubbing, fixing and painting.
More to come!

Big Booty Judy Dually
I’ve recently acquired a 1984 Dodge D350. Super cool truck. Well, part of a truck. It only came with the body, minus the hood, and a frame. Which is perfect. I love frame off restorations. Starting from scratch.
I’m still working on the details on how I want the end result to be, but below are a few of my ideas.
Convert to a Dually
12v Cummins
47RH tranny
Two wheel drive
Air bags all around
The rest is still up in the air.
Here are some beginning pictures. I’ll update the blog as I go along in this rediculous journey.
