I've said it on Pirate and I'll say it here too, awesome work, that cab looks great.

And I'm also curious about where you got that power window kit? My dad did power windows in his 64, but he used a bunch of Cadillac equipment to make his own setup, and it ended up being pretty bulky, I'd like to avoid that and go with a kit like what you posted, looks small and simple. Does the place you got that kit from have anything for the '60-'63 cabs?

I'm actually not sure sure where all the pieces came from. I knew them about six months ago but I have since forgotten. I bought them from a guy who decided against installing them on his truck. I'll ask him next time I talk to him and let y'all know!

Thanks Tim, it's a product similar to dynamat, but our buddy likes it more. It's just like a tar may that is sticky on both sides.

With both of them now being within a mile of each other it is tempting beyond belief!!! But until we can get the '58's chassis out from under the lift then we can't do it.

But once my dads chassis is a roller, nothing with stop me. Lol

They are sprint car tierods. There are a couple local shops that have 4-7 inch ones that are all we use. I'm sure summit or jegs would have them.

Thanks, we're excited to get the cab positioned onto the chassis...gotta see what it's gonna look like. My son and one of his buddies washed the dust off the chassis this afternoon...

RockTonka · 09-10-2012, 06:33 PM

Damn, two months and still no body on chassis

where does the time go??

We have been busy working on our burb and since firing it off for the first time (well, few times now) my son is more anxious than ever to hear his

Time to start working in that direction.

We weren't completely happy with the no name intake and smallish 650 carb we've had on this, so decided to swap them out for a Edelbrock Performer 2.0 intake and Edelbrock Thunder series 750 carb

(I think I was annoying my son by stopping him from touching up the block to take a few pics...it's the simple pleasures in life that mean so much

)

We also had the rad hold down powder coated silver vein to match other parts and pieces (we will use the same on the cage and whatever else is powder coated). Also had the fan shroud rhino lined to protect/stiffen up the fiberglass...really liked how that came out!

So...rad, rad support, shroud, fan, and whatnot went on in prep for fitting the cab/front clip and hopefully kick out some cab mounts in the next few weeks??

66-PMD-GMC · 09-10-2012, 10:17 PM

Nice!

Yea, my boy's anxious for sure

I'm having to hold him back while we wrap up other details.

We did work out some condenser brackets and get that mounted up though...

jbclassix · 09-20-2012, 09:48 AM

It will be interesting to see how much the truck weighs when finished with all the holes vs. all the new additional steel.

We're quite sure that we are adding weight to the truck

, just not as much as without holes...really just a theme that we enjoy!

jbclassix · 09-23-2012, 04:51 PM

I know you have probably said it already, but what brand dies are you using and what kind of press? Its a real smart process. You remove weight and add rigidity.

RockTonka · 09-23-2012, 06:21 PM

Top of page 5, posts 101-115 has info for the dies both directly from the manufacturer or through Ebay. Mosely Machine in TX makes them in-house relatively cheap...either 1018 or 4140 in a variety of sizes. We got the 7-pc, 4140, drilled set...makes it easy to use them on the pieces that don't fit in our cheap 20T press
