What's kinda sad is that outside of our little truck community, just about anyone else at a car show (or that sees the truck in general) will likely have no clue that 4th doors never existed on these trucks, nor were they any crew cabs built that looked this good (the aftermarket conversions are all fugly). So Kudos for tackling an incredible amount of work, making it look great and function, and most people will never know... those are the best mods ;)

I finished up the bodywork on the roof and shot some primer on it. Still need to block it out and reprime.

I also pulled the front driver's door off to strip and bodywork.
I got down to bare metal and guess what I found, more rust.
so I cut it out and fixed it.

nice work as usual...wish I had the time to pull off a build like this. Would love to have a crew cab so I could fit my whole family inside....prefer the look of the truck to a suburban...

I finished up the driver door this morning and hung it.
I also rebuilt the hinges and primed the a pillar. I'm glad all the doors are done only thing left is the cab corners/rear of cab.

I took this truck apart so long ago I wanted to make sure I have not miss placed anything. So I started digging through all my parts,one thing led to another and this happened.

I got off work early last friday and blew the truck apart. I needed to weld in some rear seat belt fastners but I could not acess them due to the trailing arm crossmember. So I pulled the cab and made some mounting points for the seat belts.

Did you end up using that cab stand you got from me?

This also made it a lot easier to body work the back of the cab

not yet, I tried but it was just to low and this cab is so heavy I did not want to take a chance of lowering down on it.I think Im going to weld some bar to it so the cab sits up higher.

Sounds good. The casters I got for that should hold it but it would be a good idea to brace it better. And if you start kicking out a bunch it would be nice to have one all set.
