Just posting to say thanks to all the forum members for all the great info I have learned off this forum

Sunday I was able to put my finished cab back on the frame single-handedly, bringing me a little closer to having a complete truck again some day.

Bob

p.s. I know....this thread is useless without pics

Congrats, you're really cruisin'. Didn't you end up with quite a bit of rust repair to do in the cab or am I thinking of someone else?

chevy_fatman · 10-16-2006, 11:40 PM

Looking good man!

cheyenne10 · 10-16-2006, 11:49 PM

Looks very nice and done right. Tell us what type of floor paint/treatment you did. I have seen plenty of shiney paint ones but no-one ever sees them and this is moisture prone area.

Brad · 10-16-2006, 11:53 PM

Looking good! I cringed when I first saw your pics because I broke my windshield loading the cab the same way.

I agree, this is such a great site with alot of really good people and great tech tips!

Yes, that could be me. Replaced 3 cab mounts, both corners,inner/outer rockers,lower pillars front and rear, kick panels, front and rear floorpatches, and the inner panel over the windshield. Not professional quality work, but good enough for me.

I primed the floor with etching primer and then 2 coats of ZeroRust.

His floor looks like he used spray on bed liner, the stuff in the spray bomb. That is what I used in my orange and white. Correct me if I am wrong.
Oh, and by the way, Lookin sharp. Great job!

It looks great.

watahyahknow · 10-17-2006, 08:08 AM

nice trick with the chains inside the cab
that must be one of the biggest enginehoists i've ever seen .

**Palf70Step** · 10-17-2006, 08:11 AM

Looks good! You did a very nice job.

qksilver · 10-17-2006, 08:19 AM

looks like all that work is paying off, it will be a sweet ride

**Yukon Jack** · 10-17-2006, 10:24 AM

Great way to do the cab. I do most of my work alone so always good to see the different creative way to do those jobs that normally require a helper.

The boom extends out 1 more notch even with the outriggers. 2 ton max weight, and it doesent roll to well in the yard.

watahyahknow · 10-17-2006, 06:47 PM

i had rented one over here in the netherlands , it was a foldable 2 metric ton and i think it was half the size and didnt had the pull out legs .
i had to load it in at the rental fold it out to take the engine out of a donor car and into a trailer then fold the lift and put it in the trailer again then drive to the storage space i rented take the lift out again to move the engine .......etc .
i assembled disasembled and loaded the dahm thing bout 5 times including the pickup and delivery back at the place i had rented it , and i had to do it again when it was time to mount the engine in the new car if it was the size youres is i probably couldnt walk straight anymore for a week .
i now have a garage of my own to work in and i do consider to build the type you have with the longer stretch to work on the cab and engine .
if i have to wresle with the cab on my not so smooth floor i need to be sure the crane with cab will not tip over

1Ton · 10-17-2006, 06:59 PM

Looks great. Keep up the good work.

**SactoJim** · 10-17-2006, 07:57 PM

HEY.....copy cat!

st1 · 10-17-2006, 10:20 PM

I have been away from the site but I have seen nothing has changed. Still the same great advise and good pictures. I wish I had a place to work on my trucks. Hopefully when this tour is over I will be some place that I can work on my own stuff again. Good work and keep posting pics so folks like me can live thru folks like you....

Joe67 · 10-17-2006, 10:37 PM

Awesome work on that truck/chassis!

Nice way to move the cab, that is one I haven't seen yet
