Re: Project '66 Dirtrod: K-30 Extended Cab
 

Randy,
You have an excellent looking start there. You should begin working on it and start your own build thread with the help of your son. It is great to see these father/son projects. Thanks for sharing your pictures with us...makes me want one like yours and the one in this build!

Re: Project '66 Dirtrod: K-30 Extended Cab
 

Hey ya'll, thanks for the cool comments. :metal:

We've been out of the loop for a bit with a recent move out to the country (few acres/couple shops) :cf:
Been in the new place for a few weeks now and still trying to organize it all...we're not done, but making progress. We did make settling in to one of the shops a priority and actually moved the cab over on to the chassis just last night. I think my son has some pics to post up :uhmk: We still need to clearance the firewall a bit before moving the cab into where it needs to be (an inch or two forward) but he's been goofing around with the bed parts to get an idea of how it's going to look.

Re: Project '66 Dirtrod: K-30 Extended Cab
 

Alright, chased down some pics...not the greatest, but it's the best we've got of the cab on the chassis.

Re: Project '66 Dirtrod: K-30 Extended Cab

:lol: it'll be a reality one of these days...probably...:lol:

Thanks!

Re: Project '66 Dirtrod: K-30 Extended Cab
 

Yea, we're loving it. These were the major draw on this property for the boy and I...

Re: Project '66 Dirtrod: K-30 Extended Cab
 

geez not just one man palace but two!!:metal::metal: love it! and the truck looks killer with the cab on it

Re: Project '66 Dirtrod: K-30 Extended Cab
 

This truck is looking great and I love your two new shops...that is so awesome for you guys to be able to do the things that you do. Thanks for sharing the pictures!

Re: Project '66 Dirtrod: K-30 Extended Cab
 

Thanks for taking the time to comment...always cool!

We're anxious to get back in the middle of these projects, having space will let us work back and forth on them at the same time...no more more stacking/unstacking to make room to work.:lol:

The first few weekends were spent getting the shop "office" whipped in to shape...trim, paint, carpet, and guy stuff. :lol:

The Texaco can lamp/table (collection of broke parts) was our first project in this place :metal:

Re: Project '66 Dirtrod: K-30 Extended Cab
 

Looks like you guys have broke a few outter axle shafts by the way that lamp is built..

Re: Project '66 Dirtrod: K-30 Extended Cab
 

Cool window stuff, same here where did you get them?

Re: Project '66 Dirtrod: K-30 Extended Cab
 

Thanks, it's been a long, hard, pull...but we're glad to be here! ;)

Re: Project '66 Dirtrod: K-30 Extended Cab
 

Bring it!

My son and I have been talking that it would be cool to have a meet and greet here...maybe after we get settled in a bit.

Re: Project '66 Dirtrod: K-30 Extended Cab
 

:metal::metal: killer job!!

Re: Project '66 Dirtrod: K-30 Extended Cab
 

Thanks Dino!!

My boy and I worked a bit on fitting the front clip into place to help position the cab before jumping into making cab mounts. We still have a bit of tuning, but it's pretty close. Hope to have the cab locked down next weekend.

Re: Project '66 Dirtrod: K-30 Extended Cab
 

That thing looks mean! It's coming out really nice!
