Thanks again everybody.

I didn't work on it at all today.

I think next I should mount the cab to the frame. I thought of cutting off the front cab mounts from the bent 73 frame and weld them on the side of the frame for the rear cab mounts.

Keep checking in.

I just finished the modifying back of the cab. I made 2 tunnels to cover the frame where I dropped the cab down. Then I welded up the back of the cab where I notched it.

Strodder,
I have been keeping up with your build and wanted to say thanks for the details with your post it really helps. I watch your work and can only say

"WOW".

And I really couldn't work in your shop......

Thanks Bones & Ranch.

It's a nice door..HUH I was wondering when someone would notice the posters. Here's some of the other posters I have around.

Here's the door your talking about.

This is her front.

I hope I'm not breaking any rules here by posting the posters.
