Re: SkinnyG's '61 Apache
I needed to see if this all fit, but before I did, I repaired a badly corroded cab mount with 3/16" plate (a bit thicker than original).
![]() Cab went back on the frame to check for fit. I added some strengthening ribs on the passenger side of the raised "X" to strengthen the top, since due to the lateral angle of the driveshaft, it was no longer trapezoidal. ![]() Welded on, and I am -very- pleased with the result. Driveshaft clears the back of the cab by 1/4". ![]() Glory shot, control arms on the ground: ![]()
