Re: Brave or crazy? crewcab build
 

Im with you Xeen, I love seeing each project he works on and the amazing progress he makes with each step! Killer work!

Re: Brave or crazy? crewcab build
 

Great work on the drip rail. Keep on hammering!

Re: Brave or crazy? crewcab build
 

Thanks guys, this drip rail was pretty much the end of crew cab specific stuff.
I feel like I am finally over the hump on the conversion part of the build.
But there is still a long way to go!

Re: Brave or crazy? crewcab build
 

I did find some time after work today to strip the 3rd door to bare metal.
Hopefully I can get some epoxy on it this weekend.

Re: Brave or crazy? crewcab build
 

Finally the last peice of rust is gone from this truck the passenger side floor board was baddly pitted from the under dash ac. I bought a counter parts patch panel and I am less then impressed with it, but its better then the current floor. I got it all cut out and the new section tacked in but ran out of time before I could finish it up.

Re: Brave or crazy? crewcab build
 

Oh my.... many thoughts rolling around upstairs now....

Totally dig how you went about truing up your door gaping issues.
Using that info on mine.
Thanks

Re: Brave or crazy? crewcab build
 

Cool sub, looks good!

Re: Brave or crazy? crewcab build
 

I got the idea from somebody here on the site it worked out really well.

Re: Brave or crazy? crewcab build
 

Here's what is left from the 3 trucks i parted out this year ;)

Re: Brave or crazy? crewcab build
 

just finished looking in. you have done a great job and look forward to more

Re: Brave or crazy? crewcab build
 

Looks like enough to start another!

Re: Brave or crazy? crewcab build
 

Finished up the floor patch today

Re: Brave or crazy? crewcab build
 

Nice work!

Re: Brave or crazy? crewcab build
 

Love this build!

I've been enjoying checking on this over the last few months, you do great work.

Re: Brave or crazy? crewcab build
 

Project is coming along nicely. Wish I was over the crew fabrication hump already. Mine has involved both rust repair and fabrication, so you got it made lol. Trevor

Re: Brave or crazy? crewcab build
 

thanks guys

I also did alot of rust repair i'm just past all of that. I checked out your build it's lookin good!

Re: Brave or crazy? crewcab build
 

Just found your build today, read all the way through awesome job, cant wait to see it finished.

Re: Brave or crazy? crewcab build
 

Started working on the firewall welding up all the holes I don't need.
I have a old air unit I am going to install but I don't want to use the outer block off plate so I am working on a way to mount it without seeing any bolts or nuts.

Re: Brave or crazy? crewcab build
 

Soon you will be all done with the cab and you will start to see the light at the end of the tunnel.
You are almost to the fun (and the expensive) part of the build. :lol:
The cool part is depending on who you talk to the cab alone is now worth anywhere between 5 and 10 grand just as it sits.
:metal:

Re: Brave or crazy? crewcab build
 

Yea I can see the light at the end of the tunnel it's kind of weird doing normal
stuff like sanding and priming. I am glad to be moving on to a different part of the build.

Re: Brave or crazy? crewcab build
 

I did get some work done today I figured out how I am going to mount the old air unit without any visible fastners on the firewall. I made a bigger plate that bolts to the unit so I can access the mounting studs that I will weld to the firewall on the inside of cab. I added 3 extra mounting points to add some strength 7 in total.

Re: Brave or crazy? crewcab build
 

Here are some pics of the truck I parted to build this one, I traded it to my buddy it's basically my old cab and frame he did everthing else good to see him making progress.
He went all out with the poterbuilt extreme setup with the extra frame stiffner. He has been talking about doing a build thread but just hasn't done it yet.

Re: Brave or crazy? crewcab build
 

The ac mount plate turned out good :metal:

Re: Brave or crazy? crewcab build
 

Yeah it did!

Re: Brave or crazy? crewcab build
 

I finished up the firewall this is how it will look with no bolts going through the fire wall to mount the a/c unit.

Re: Brave or crazy? crewcab build
 

seriously awesome work. I am looking for a 1967 C-30 truck and then I will start mine. I'm going to need some help on the 4th door if you are still willing to help! lol

I want to build my burb into 67 1ton crew cab long bed 4x4.

Chris

Re: Brave or crazy? crewcab build
 

Nice work adapting the firewall to the A/C unit.
Are you going to go ahead and round off the firewall at the blower location to match the other side or are you going to leave it stock?

Re: Brave or crazy? crewcab build
 

Nicely done!

Re: Brave or crazy? crewcab build
 

you mean like this?

Re: Brave or crazy? crewcab build
 

Just let me know I'm always willing to help.

Thanks

Re: Brave or crazy? crewcab build
 

Right on :metal:

Re: Brave or crazy? crewcab build
 

I bodyworked and primed the firewall and 3rd door

Re: Brave or crazy? crewcab build
 

This is the best crewcab 67-72 ever built.
Love your attention to detail.

Re: Brave or crazy? crewcab build
 

Dude you are just killin' it! :metal:
This is definitely going to rank up there as one of the most killer custom builds ever.
You will win custom truck awards out the ying yang with this bad boy when it's done.
This is one of the builds I'm on the edge of my seat watching.

Re: Brave or crazy? crewcab build
 

I have been meaning to ask you for some time now and I always forget.
What did you do to reinforce the floor where you joined the two halves so that it wouldn't potentially sag over time?

Re: Brave or crazy? crewcab build
 

Looking real good. I went ahead and modified my 72 door panel. So it can be done. Keep up the good work. Its fueling me to keep pushing on mine. Trevor

Re: Brave or crazy? crewcab build
 

looking good :metal::metal::metal:

Re: Brave or crazy? crewcab build
 

Great work. One of the things I regret not doing to my firewall was smoothing off the drip rail ledge area on the firewall. When they are finished and welded they look so awesome. Great work on it.

Re: Brave or crazy? crewcab build
 

Wow thanks!

on this one the complete floor is stock suburban and it has 6 cab mounts instead of 4 like a standard cab.

I saw that it looks good that is how I plan on doing mine what did you use to "weld" it with?

thanks buddy

Thanks I did not want it to look to smooth so I only filled what I didn't need I want it to look some what "factory"
