W2D VI - Bronc(ish) Pick Me Up Truck Guide

 W2D VI: 3D Printed Truck Body Build Guide Image 1:  The Truck Image 2:  General Assembly BOM link  (Bill of Materials) You can use a lot of my past stuff with this project so feel free to explore my Thingiverse.  Here's a few of the big items: W2D-VI version 1:   https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:4903157 W2D-VI version 2 (This truck):   https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:5276273 Jeep Cage (pretty compatible):   https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:4610573 Jeep Body (seats):   https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:4671977/files YouTube Video:   https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BUi60u7aqNE I mention "welding" a lot.  Welding means using a 3D Printing pen as a plastic welding tool pretty much just like welding metal.  Hot glue, welding and electrical tape are my best friends when it comes to assembling body parts.  Tacking something together means using a couple of dabs of hot glue or plastic welding to temporarily hold the parts together.  If you mess up it is easy to grind off the

I would suggest cutting and pasting the BOM into your own document and then deleting the parts you don't want to use (or move them to the bottom of the document for future reference).
