Been working on my cab and front clip this spring. Planning on swaping out the cab and front clip on my work truck as it is showing some age. Rusted pretty bad at cab carners and door corners. Soon as the parts are painted I will pull old cab and clip and set the new on. Then just swap over all the parts inside and out. Then redo the old cab and clip for the next project. first is pic as truck is now. and some pics of new cab in progress.

por 15 the under and inside floor . Etch primer then sandable primer . Next will be color choice. Leaning towards gold and white cause the interior is brown. Could probably do marron and match the brown interior alright but have a set of maroon seat above garage for next project.Last pic is kind of what I am aiming for for color. What would you choose Gold/white or marroon?

Solver · 07-08-2006, 11:36 PM

Still planning on it. Hope we can hook up .Like to meet teeitup this time to. Missed him on last falls meet. Will probably come down night before with the the other half and another couple. Will be pulling a trailer so I can haul a little larger stuff home this time.

Mike I have the swap meet listed as august 12th and 13th . not september . Is my info wrong?

Longhorn Man · 07-08-2006, 11:50 PM

Great work as always... you want to do my cab when you're done?

I'd go with the gold and white. It's a good loking uncommon combo, don't see it at every show you go to like the light blue and white, or the red and white.

FRENCHBLUE72 · 07-09-2006, 06:21 AM

Nice work.... Should be a looker just like the rest of your fleet..

**Palf70Step** · 07-09-2006, 08:05 AM
