I've been doing lots of that too. The 4th door on my suburban had the window frame rearranged too many times.

I also scored a tach dash this week it needs a circuit board but it was a great deal. It's going to look great in my truck.

No not right now,everthing else sold so i'll hang on to the cab for awhile. I might start another one once mine is done because there is one or two things I would do a little different.

I just finished up the rust repair on a fellow board members cab and the 4x4 suburban is all parted out. So now its time to get back to work on my truck!

started by taking off the clip, then Im going to start the rust repair on the passenger side. it just needs inner outer rockers, lower a pillar, kick panel and some floor patches. I will start there and work my way back. look how bad the door gaps are from the factory.

Dieselwrencher 05-14-2014 02:55 PM

Re: Brave or crazy? crewcab build
 
Nice work and those gaps are pretty crazy.

Re: Brave or crazy? crewcab build
 
Make sure to keep taking lots of pictures and posting them all. I LOVE this build!:metal:

This is gonna be a BADA$$ truck once it's finished.

its not your fault its good to step away from a project some times
but I am a little burned out on rust repair now!

I finished up the rocker on my truck today here is the test fit berfore I burned it in. I would post a pic of it finished but everybody has seen a rocker welded in.

Found a truck I couldn't pass up it's a 67 big window short step randomly mounted on a 56 chevy truck frame? I'm not going to keep it, trying to flip it quick but if that dosen't happen i'll just part it. It's kind of a shame about the frame because the body's is really nice.

Nice!

Makes a fella wonder how the decision was made to put that body on that older frame, doesn't it?

Yea its pretty strange they even used the 235 6cylinder and 56 brake master?
It looks like I will be parting it out as well.

I have been squeezeing in some time on my truck as well I gave up on the original 3rd door looks like it was hit at some point. Luckily I have spare one and it fit much better. I will post better pics later.
