Labor Day Progress
Haven't been on here much as of late. Here is a little more progress on the cab. I just need to finish welding the floors up and grind it all smooth. Next will be the piece over the windshield and then it's Filler Time! LOL

Hurry up! The suspense is killing me! LOL! Seriously though, I am looking forward to seeing how it is going to turn out. Keep the progress reports coming.

A peek inside...remember the floor is just tacked in at this point. I need to finish up the welds with all my spare free time (sarcasm).
Anyway, I hear ya Barn9...I'm trying. That darn 502 I want is holding me back....big bucks!!

Yes, my cab is proof that a very rusty cab can be saved with enough hard work and patients. I have to say that it was pretty tough. Since I had to remove so much of the original metal I really had nothing original to tack things to. Because I had welded in new lower pillars both front and back it made the rocker a real challenge.
That is the key though. Get your doors on and adjusted as perfect as you can. Then get your rockers to lign up on the door and the rest has to fit around that somehow.

Good work, Looks like a lot of work, but you are doing a great job. Can't wait to see her new heart once you get the green to put it in.

Cab Dollie
Yes I do VDOG, but it is on my other PC. I'll have to transfer it over to my laptop and post it for you. It works well, in fact too well. I wish I would have put castors on it that had brakes!
Here...I found it...
