Project Vitamin C-10

[Alan's Classic]

I haven't posted in awhile cause I haven't made much progress. The left cab corner didn't go too well. I had to get another and start again. I don't know what I did wrong. The right cab corner went great. I used 2 to make one work as you can see in the pix. I am making progress, but you can't see it much change in the pix. I'm driving my self crazy on the door gaps. I want them to look great. Since I am a body man and if people know that they will pick it too death. That's when I say where is yours.

I'm open to suggestions on closing the gap on the top of the A post to door. I removed the the gutter for a cleaner look. I've got a couple of ideas, but will leave the floor open for discussion. The gap doesn't look too bad in the pix, but the gap gets progressively worse closer you get to the roof.

I'm kind of burnt out on the cab so I decided to work some on the frame. I have to repair where someone hacked the frame rail for clearance. I cut a piece out of the donor 72 frame. I can't believe how much thinner it is on the top flange. The 72 piece doesn't look like it has been cut on any. I believe it will be a good repair. The hackers cut into the engine mount holes. I could doctor it up. but for some reason I think this is best.

I'm going to order a brake line kit for a 72 since I'm using everything from the 72. The rear crossmember that the brake line attaches to has a cut out for the line to pass thru. I'm going to modify the 65 frame to match the 72.
