What a difference a few weeks can make!
She looked like this on the morning of Mother's Day:
And today, she looks like this: Heading to Cheyenne right after lunch tomorrow to drop the cab off at the sandblasters. I have a lot of ideas of things I want to do to the cab, mainly on the inside. This should keep me busy well into winter so that I don't try to rush it trying to have it done this summer! Some ideas I am going to try on the inside of the cab: * Add A/C * Shave and smooth the dash top, eliminate the cap. Maybe do a custom grey tweed full dash cover * Rebuild the center section. Completely smooth, A/C vent on top, then CD player, then HVAC controler, then a pull-out cup holder. * Replace ignition switch with a flush mounted one * Custom made flat aluminum dash bezel * Eliminate kickpanel vents, cover with grey tweed panels * Underdash cover to hide whats underneath the dash * Homemade grey tweed door panels, full heigth, with accent color panels Yeah, I kinda like tweed! Other things planned: * Frenched power antenna * Fill slots in cowl except for windshileld wiper arm holes and squiter slots * Fill the seam at the upper rear of the cab, and between teh cab corners and rockers * Shave the stake pockets * Add a fuel door to the left side And some frame work, like: * Shorten the frame to SWB length * Modify the trailing arm crossmember to allow the exhaust to be ran through it instead of under it * Maybe box the inside of the frame * Powder coat it when all the mods are done WHEW!! I've got ALOT of work ahead of me. Better by another spool of MIG wire..............
