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.

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

One year after i did the driver side I am finally ready to do the passenger side cab corner. I went with a tabco corner never used one before but i've heard they are the best and made in the USA.

looks like I will have to tighten up the door gap a little since I set the other side up at 1/8 and this side looks more like 3/16

Re: Brave or crazy? crewcab build
 
That cab corner does look like it fit well. Looking good overall!
