Hey Gary, nice cockpit!

Restored 2019-2022.
Nicknamed «Big Brother 1984», due to its soooo-looong shape & nod to George Orwell's 1984 famous novel.

I'm tempted to say "That's not a cockpit, this is a cockpit!"  But won't.  

Seriously though, I'm not a fan of that truck.  33" tires is about right, but on 20" wheels?  Not enough rubber when going off the road to cushion things.  (And if you aren't going off the road "why" on a whole bunch of things.)

And why pull hot air from behind the radiator into the engine?  Why not use the factory air cleaner box with the inlet tube that pokes through the radiator?  Or, better yet, the one that goes above the radiator so you can do water crossings?  It might take a bit of fabrication, but so did a whole bunch of other things that were done.
