Re: Brave or crazy? crewcab build
 

Thanks for all the nice comments guys getting ready to get back at it
this weekend.

Re: Brave or crazy? crewcab build
 

Well I was not happy with my door gap between the doors so I fixed it.
First the rear edge of the front door was not perfectly straight it had dips in it
so I fixed that first. Then the gap was a little big I set it a 1/4 but it was to much so I welded all the way down the front edge of the rear door.
Then I ground it down and used a file to finish it. The gap is 3/16 now and after primer and paint it should be perfect.

Re: Brave or crazy? crewcab build
 

Looks great

Re: Brave or crazy? crewcab build
 

Very nice work on the gaps. I know how time consuming that can be, but worth it.

Re: Brave or crazy? crewcab build
 

I built a panel to hold one of my speakers needed to get this done before I started body work. Its just 16ga sheet cut to fit then tacked in, I'll hit it with some seam sealer and it will be painted with the rest of the cab.

Re: Brave or crazy? crewcab build
 

Coolest build ever only thing cooler would be if it had an lsx swap in it

Re: Brave or crazy? crewcab build
 

Impressive !

Re: Brave or crazy? crewcab build
 

tHANKS! I like ls motors but good gas mileage and lots of power is very overrated!:lol: I'm going for a stock look, if thats possible with this truck.

Re: Brave or crazy? crewcab build
 

I;m never going to get this truck done if I keep dragging more home!

Re: Brave or crazy? crewcab build
 

Organ donor? Or just another play toy? That's the same problem me and my brother have, just got 2 "new" trucks that got in the way of the crew.

Re: Brave or crazy? crewcab build
 

It was just a good deal i'm going to use 1 or 2 things but the rest is getting parted.

Re: Brave or crazy? crewcab build
 

That a 1/2T?? why not just sell it.

Re: Brave or crazy? crewcab build
 

I saw this pop up on ebay this morning:

http://www.ebay.com/itm/Chevrolet-Ot...-/261385940152

Looks familiar...but it's not...and not quite the same level of craftsmanship....

Re: Brave or crazy? crewcab build
 

Yea it's a half ton and it's all 5 lug as well. I thought about selling the whole thing but I need a few things and a buddy needs the cab so its coming apart so other trucks can live on:lol:

Re: Brave or crazy? crewcab build
 

Yea I saw that looks like they split a truck cab in half then added the b pillars
from a suburban. Also looks like they shaved the drip rail just above the windsheild but nowhere else. I like it. It looks great and a good deal for the amount of work put into it.

Re: Brave or crazy? crewcab build
 

Not much to update been collecting some parts for the crew cab
and parting out the 68 I picked up. Good thing I got some help from my little buddy.

Re: Brave or crazy? crewcab build
 

Best help in the world right there!

Re: Brave or crazy? crewcab build
 

Yes you are right he loves to help. Hopefully someday we can start on one for him!

Re: Brave or crazy? crewcab build
 

Had to make some room in my yard so I threw on my bed and thought why stop there? So I installed the front clip and snapped a few bad pics. I haven't had much time to work on cab but I have been gathering some parts, also had the heads for my motor rebuilt. hope to get back on it soon.

Re: Brave or crazy? crewcab build
 

Looks Great man !!

Re: Brave or crazy? crewcab build
 

Feels like forever since we saw some progress. Hope you have more time soon. I'm totally enjoying following this project of yours.

Re: Brave or crazy? crewcab build
 

Well I finally had a few hours to work on my truck so i worked on something that has been bothering me. I final welded the glass channel on the forth door to soon and it did not match the front door. so I cut it and added to it to make up the difference. next I will fix the vertical gap its a bit to big. These are the before pics

Re: Brave or crazy? crewcab build
 

after

Re: Brave or crazy? crewcab build
 

Ready to sell it yet? ;)

Re: Brave or crazy? crewcab build
 

lot of tedious work done here!! well done!!

Re: Brave or crazy? crewcab build
 

HaHa that's the same thing my buddys always ask me!


Thank you!

Re: Brave or crazy? crewcab build
 

Well I did not like the way the window frame was turning out so i started over and built a new one. turned out pretty good and I am happy with the gaps.

Re: Brave or crazy? crewcab build
 

Dang. I thought the first one looked good. You do fantastic work!

Re: Brave or crazy? crewcab build
 

Awesome build. Makes mine look like changing the oil.

Re: Brave or crazy? crewcab build
 

Can I send you two doors to fix :). Nice work!

Re: Brave or crazy? crewcab build
 

Those gaps look perfect!!
