Re: Gav's 64 Build
hey tommy
the truck seems pretty solid without them, but you're right they are a pretty serious piece of metal. i think the cab is plenty stiff without them. it may be a bid noisier since the panel is a bit less rigid over the distance from the floor to the upper panel but a little sound deadener should take care of that easy enough. but again as far as structure is concerned, i see no reason to worry. oh and thanks for the ups strodder

Re: Gav's 64 Build
I removed mine. I don't think it will effect the strength of the cab. They were just brackets.

Re: Gav's 64 Build
well i got the tranny out, took 3 guys 4.5 hours. man what a PITA. unfortunately i cracked the bellhousing in the process, so thats going to have to be replaced. we got a bunch of snow last night so i can't even get the thing out of the truck or i'll never be able to get back up the hill that leads down to the shop. looks like i may have to carry this thing the whole way. thanks alot ohio, why must you fight me? i'll get some pics ASAP, i swear.
