Re: 49' Patina bagged in PA

1-4 Nothing much to look at, but I did manage to tear out the seat riser, tried to save as much of it as I could. Might make someones day that needs it, or atleast its a part in my collection that isn't available in aftermarket.

My goal was to get cab mounted, but its just too weak to do so. So I'm going to support floor and kick panels, basically do all new inside of cab practically. Then I'll make my mounts and then get the driveline moched up. Then onto front sheetmetal and radiator.
I noticed my cab moved left to right so it took me a bit to get it back to were it need to be so I can try and keep my driveshaft notch in line. I gotta get s10 xmember out so I can get trans to sit where it needs also.

Luckily I can reference my 51' on alot of things, esp the center consol/trans tunnel. Since I don't have the trans and engine moched up to know how high to make my consol, I just measured off my 51'. The seat should sit above all my tunneling. I really like having a square trans tunnel because I set stuff on it, make some cup holders and other stuff. I gotta get some more tubing and I should prolly have it all framed up by next weekend. Then start on the kickpanels, pass side is the worst. Got to do that bf I can mount front clip and get that all in place.

Here is a pic of my 51' you can see trans placement, and a little bit of the consol. I got some different ideas for the 49' though.
