My sills still had the "protection" in place. A small 45 degree gusset about midway that was spot welded to the sill and the step. I was going to reinstall but have now decided I will be copying your design. Nice. Dug

Re: My 57 Pro Street
 

My sills had nothing and I was getting tired of having to straighten them every time I bumped them.
Glad I had an idea that others can use.

Re: My 57 Pro Street

Re: My 57 Pro Street

Unfortunately for me life's thrown some things my way that have slowed progress for a while.
Hope to be back on it soon.

Re: My 57 Pro Street
 

i love the copper c clamp idea and also the cab dolly flip idea....awesome

Re: My 57 Pro Street
 

I like the sill idea also. Going to take it and make it mine as well.

Re: My 57 Pro Street
 

Thanks guys.
Haven't been able to do much as I have my son and grand daughter to take care of until school is back in session.
My boy is also playing in a band that performs every Wednesday at Disneyland so getting to and from rehearsals takes up a bunch of time.
Looking forward to school starting back up.

Re: My 57 Pro Street
 

Nice! look forward to some pics

Re: My 57 Pro Street
 

Your cab and bed look awesome!!!! Super clean work you do. Patience of a saint you have. I lack that. :(

Re: My 57 Pro Street
 

Thanks.
Thanks.

Finally a littler progress to show.
Got the top and bottom of the cab in primer.
Last pic is after a lite sanding with some 80 grit on a long board.
I may be able to get by with a coat of spray on filler as its not too bad.

Re: My 57 Pro Street
 

Kim, I sat down tonight and went through your entire build thread. Like many have commented you do great work and have so many excellent fabrication ideas. Learned a lot tonight and thank you for sharing your journey. Love it!

Re: My 57 Pro Street
 

Thanks for the kind words.
I get a lot of inspiration from all the guys on this board.
Kim

Re: My 57 Pro Street
 

Looking good Kim.

Re: My 57 Pro Street
 

glad to see you back on your truck
nothing on these trucks requires a long board
long board will do nothing but make flat spots on a convex surface
try using a long piece of hard foam that will conform to the curves of that roof

truk never saw a hard block for sanding, foam blocks for every surface

Re: My 57 Pro Street
 

Thanks.

Thanks for the info.
The board I used is a Dura Block that's only 16-1/2 inches but it's the longest I have.

Cab is looking good Kim...I'm not looking forward to starting ours :waah:
