It set the cab so high I had trouble getting it back in the garage when I tipped it up. It does make it much easier to work on though. Kim |

Re: My 57 Pro Street
You are so clever! Surely you had someone helping you??
I've probably asked this, but what color scheme are you going with? dne'

Re: My 57 Pro Street
I have a bunch of small holes to weld up in the floor of my cab so I came up with this to make it a little easier.
Took an old C clamp and attached it to a strong magnet and epoxied a piece of copper to it. Not sure how the epoxy will last with the heat. If it comes off the pressure alone will hold the copper to the area I need to weld. Kim |

Re: My 57 Pro Street
You might just slip a copper tubing cap over the end.

Re: My 57 Pro Street
Working on the bottom of the cab i got tired of having to straighten the door sills out. My originals were toast and my new ones kept on getting banged up as they seem to be a weak spot.
This is what i did. Took some 1"x2" rectangular tube and cut out a couple of braces. Got them welded in and now my sills can hold me. Kim |

Re: My 57 Pro Street
Here they are welded in. I have no idea what the factory did to protect them.
