Re: R&R inner cowl panel
No, I quess I am calling it by the wrong name. It is the panel outside of the cab that the wiper arms mount to, the part where the panel that goes between the hood and winsheild mounts. I won't be back at my shop till next week end.
It is the horizontal piece that covers between the firewall and the windshield, that collects all the leaves and pine needles under it, like an upside down U.
i was looking at it yesterday and it is held in by a bunch of spot welds, the front part of it is where the under hood wiring channel is that crosses from the fuse panel to the passenger side the other part is spot welded under the windsheild across from side to side.
I was think of drilling all the spot welds, pulling the panel, cleaning all the trash out, then walnut or soda blast, epoxy prime, caulk all the seams then, then paint body color.
I know it sounds like a lot of work but this is one of the best 67 cabs I have seen, and I have gone over it completely and only found outer rocker dents and pinholes plus slight rust thru on that panel on the vertical part above the heater box and fuse panel on the engine side.
I want to keep this truck and only do it once because of it's rarity.
The cab came with buddy buckets from the factory so it has all the stuff on the floor low hump 2 wheel drive. I am swapping in onto my 67 swb 4 wheel drive that I am restoriing factory with a couple of factory upgrades, the buddy buckets, P/B and A/C.
The only non factory upgrade or option not available that year will be P/S.
Thanks,
Steve
