Well the cat's outta the bag now. Yes it's true, I finally started getting some work done this weekend.
The first thing I did was to get rid of the old cab. This thing had been a yard ornament for quite some time now.
Here it is 30 minutes later.....
Now it's time to get started on the new cab.
Back before I had the cab blasted I removed the cowl and found some rot around the fresh air vents. After it came back from the blaster we could really tell how much damage we had to repair. This area is notorious for collecting leaves and debris. There wasn't much left of the metal that the cowl was spot welded to so I went ahead and removed it.
Next to go was the a-pillar.
Fitting up the floor pan.
Here's the master mulling it over.
For the most part the cab is in really good shape, except for the cowl area and the driver's side cab support. Here I am drilling out what seemed to be 100 spot welds, but there were only 24 or so. (Thanks for the action shot Alan.)
Out with the old and in with the new. Well almost. This is where I stopped for the day.
Stay tuned. It should start getting real fun now.
