Started cutting the back wall of the cab out:

We then left a lip on the bottom and bent the steel, this truck will be strengthened @ the frame, so we can weld the box to the cab... I got to throw it across the shop, Monster Garage style:

Then we test fit the box. I built this yesterday, 4x12", split-sealed, spec:

So is this truck a personal vehicle, shop vehicle, or customer vehicle?

It appears that you actually moved the box right up against the cab? Did you do that or is it just the appearance from the pics? If so did you just make new holes in the box or bed to make it bolt down? This looks pretty cool. I like what you have done so far. Hope ya keep the pics coming.

Intriguing install idea posted_image

One quick question, though: what's going to happen when the bed and cab are torqued on the frame...like when driving the truck up an inclined driveway at an angle, for instance?

There going to strengthen the frame and weld the box to the cab to prevent twisting.

ithink i'm gonna start my Minitruck now. This truck inspired me a little, except for the domestic thing. I have an '81Toyota standard cab looonnnggg box, it's like a limosine.
