Cab progress (like deja vu) - Page 4 - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Everything cab forward is squirted and back on the truck... includinn shaved bumper, grille trim, headlight buckets, etc. Seat is in, steering column is in and wired up. I actually started the truck...

Still needs back glass, brakes bled, solenoids in the doors, and a handful of other tidbits and it should be ready to drive a little while I replenish my funds to replace wheels and tires and get the back of the truck done.

No camera today = no pics.

**Palf70Step** · 11-30-2005, 11:31 PM

Pictures. Can't wait to see the pictures!!!

Iron-Butt · 12-12-2005, 01:01 AM

Ain't happnin'. She'll be getting an AMC Pacer with no passenger or back seats.

She's 9 (going on 20) so I don't have to worry about that for another 23 years (I keep telling her that she can do all those "grown up" things as soon as she turns 32).

I know you wanted headlights, wipers and everything on the turn signal stalk, so what is the column out of? And what are your plans for the wheels?

jay-dawg · 12-22-2005, 10:35 AM

Looking good Kenneth. You'll have it on the road in no time.

FRENCHBLUE72 · 12-22-2005, 11:45 AM

Everything's on the column now. I don't know what specific model it is... it is a custom-made "standard" 1980's GM... shortened a bit. This place made it for me. They seemed to do a good job at the time except that I had to spend another $1xx replacing bearings and a bad switch (unfortunately, it sat on the shelf too long for me to think he'd warranty the items).

Wheels are on there until I get some mod dimensions worked out on the rear, and then I'll order up some 18" TT2's to replace the wheels on there now.

Yep, gear shift lever just touches the roof right now. I'll be trimming a couple of inches off of it to make room for a small piston... ala...

1969 C/K CST · 12-22-2005, 03:54 PM

Lookin' good. I like the color. Seen a few with the smoothed dash and i'm really growing to like it.

XXL · 12-27-2005, 09:15 PM

Truck is back in the garage. I drove it in under its own power... though brakes were Fred Flintstone style.

**Palf70Step** · 12-27-2005, 09:19 PM

It sure don't look like that same ole farm truck. Can't wait to see it with the box painted.

Yeah, I've got to get that step you sent me (among other things) in place before squirting the back half of the truck. I'm just excited that the cab is truly on... I bought the cab almost 5 years ago in MA. It's been to NC and back

(in the bed of a Ranger, no less), then moved to KS, and now it's finally on the truck!

smbrouss70 · 12-27-2005, 10:33 PM

Looking Good! What hinges did you use for the suicide doors? I sure am liking that mod!

71swb4x4 · 12-27-2005, 10:41 PM

Looks very good!

camaro__thunder · 12-28-2005, 07:54 AM

Where did you get the hood hinges ? Thanks

jay-dawg · 12-28-2005, 10:02 AM

Hi Kenneth,

Did you ever do that "secret" step notch?
