I finished up the frame and installed the cab with new cab mounts and I guess I measured right because it all lined up perfect. So i just set the roof on and pushed it back in the corner so i can get back on the first truck.

Yea the only reason I did it different the first time is I was not going to do a
4th door then that changed and made for alot of extra work. They will look exactly the same only real difference is I used more of the truck cab floor.

Nice a second one!
You know this could be a side business for you because there is a ton of guys that want a 1967-72 crew cab but don't have the fabrication skills to pull it off.
I can think of two guys right off the top of my head that would buy one from you, one of them is me. :metal:

Very nice and fast work on the 2nd crew cab. I have a burb to use for one but I'm going to build a burb for mow, and then a crew later on down the project circle.

How can you tell if a 700r has had a hydraulic lock up system installed on it?

The second one is going much faster I learned a lot with the first one.

I went ahead and ordered a new tailgate since it's so hard to find a good one.
I ordered it from summit, free shipping and got in 3 days. I'm happy with it so far, it showed up without any dents and feels pretty heavy. I went ahead and test fit it and it shut on the first try. has anyone weighed these against an original? any way here are some pics.

Tailgate looks good bud.
I'll have to do the same. But I'll probably ride over to ATL and pick mine up at the store

Just amazing.. Seeing others take the path that I had planned out in my head has me thinking that maybe I can build one of these.. Sure would have alot more style than some off the lot new truck.
