this is what I came up with. Designed to be a 7x6 flatbed truck with a hidden towing unit on the rear. Will have a 3/16" diamond plate deck. Winch will be mounted under a trapdoor, with a dedicated battery foreward of that. Air tank hanging on the right side for OBA.
Not sure about this toolbox, might trade it for a standard cross-bed or design my own.
Still need to work out the rear bumper,sides, and headache rack.
Will have mounts for shovel, axe, hi-lift on the deck.
Also picked up a swivel cherry picker that will be mounted right next to the tow stinger. No pics of that yet.
Got to messing with the '72 this weekend

Cool! I like the tow stinger. Are you gonna stay with the mismatched front and rear wheels or change to dually front hubs?

No, I kinda like the way this one looks now. I just need to install the power steering on it to turn those big tires!

Turning your truck into your avatar, huh?
That does look pretty good. When it's done, you can tow yourself home if it breaks down!
