Poor Boy is more than a rolling frame
Well....sort of.I`ve been waiting to mount the cab until I can go through the transmission so I can install it and the motor.I`d like to haul it to the exhaust guy w/o the cab to make his life easier(better job,maybe?),too.but,I wanted to clear and rearrange my little shop and the cab has been in the corner for a decade or more.I want to strip it and get it in primer before I mount it.I decided to leave the frame covered and just set the cab on there to do this.i`ll take it off again when the other work is done.I figure it`s time to get it ready rather than leave it`til the other stuff`s done.i need progress!!

Re: Poor Boy is more than a rolling frame
Would it be better to have a Cab on it for the exaust guy so he will know where to fit it too? I do not know, but it seems when I, (admitted amatuer) try to imagine where things will be, I am always "off" a little? Would suck to set your cab and have a nice new pipe hitting the floor..

Re: Poor Boy is more than a rolling frame
By the way, looks like a super clean cab, and Hugger Orange/White Shortbed ? Can't get much better in my opinion.

Re: Poor Boy is more than a rolling frame
I'm following your lead Tim. Not about getting started again but letting it sit for a decade or so.

Re: Poor Boy is more than a rolling frame
I am planning on taking my truck to the exhaust shop....well I mean drive train, no cab or body. I to think this would be easier for them to get the exhaust on it like I want it. I can't imagine that you would later have issues with exhaust hitting body parts as long as the exhaust is kept below the tops of the frame rails. If you have an automatic (mine is), and plan on using stock column shift, I would have that mounted in as well when it goes for exhaust. That would be my only concern because of the funky shifting mechanism these model trucks have and there relative closeness to the exhaust system.

Tim, are you going to get your buddy Norm to soda blast it while it's stripped? I heard he was reasonable.

being in the muffler shop business for the past 25 years, i always want as much of the vehicle together as possible,especially the rear bumper and bed if the tailpipes are exiting out the rear. if it's only a rolling chassis we have only a vague idea of the final ride height- not too big of a deal on a lifted 4x4 but on a lowered 2wd it can make a difference. if it's a wood floor truck having the bed installed is a must. these are only my opinion but i have replaced the exhaust on a 71 longhorn that was too close to the wood bed a set a fire--luckily i didn't do the job initially.

Re: Poor Boy is more than a rolling frame
Argh!!!
Just when i`m ready to bust loose on some progress I hit a drawback.Namely,a dislocated let shoulder.I can`t start the siding job I have lined up and ready to roll on it.I`ve barely worked since the first of the year.So,it`s all on hold.I`m going to try to do the transmission off the bench.I can use both hands,just can`t move the arm/shoulder joint(rotater cup).It happened tuesday about 8pm.I was out of the emergency room and home by 11:30 when it popped back out getting out o the truck.Back to the hospital and the next physician and assistant tryed everything all night until they gave up and had an Orthopedic come in around 9 am.He finally got it.The whole time I couldn`t have even water in case I had to get surgery.I was up from 4 am Tuesday until I nodded off trying to post last night around 9pm.I woke up and went to bed around 11:30.I guess I should start a new thread on restoring me! ![]() Here`s some bits and pieces that will be this truck since it`s going to be awhile till they go on: 8x15s... ![]() Hood... ![]() Doors,fenders,& bedsides... ![]() 327... ![]()

It`s frustrating,alright.I have a spot at Carlisle and will have to do it with one arm.I doubt I`ll bring anything too big.
