Its a puddy like material. They liked the truck so much when it was done they didnt want to use it. They figured having that tub body would help the stuff slide out.

2stacksuperdog Posted February 22, 2013 Share Posted February 22, 2013 I'm just going from what he says. It took him a week.Boy, not a lot of room for a third axle.When he changed the bell housing they had to take the lift axle off before they could even start anything. He said half of the trans was stuffed in the lift axle.
