[FRENCHBLUE72]

Looks like it will make a nice little driver..

[pugs]

did alittle more this evening
cut the bad area of floor out, of course it was shot under that floor also



1st i trimmed the floor pan down



made this pice up (whatever you want to call it)

[pugs]

then made up the bigger section thats comes off the main floor support, had cut the area form the old section where the cab mount bolts goes thu and welded it to the new piece



compared to the old section, now just need to get the cab mounts for the truck

[pugs]

got alittle more done, cleaned out the old sealant from the roof gutter, sanded the roof down and cleaned and sanded the firewall and primed everything

[pugs]

got the windshield out, sanded and primed the area, i think i found the color im going with, its fairly close to the original color, i also amusing transtar brushablle seam sealer on all the wlded seams to keep it sealed up for another 30 plus years, now its cleanup time in the shop

[pugs]

well no real progress onthe cab, but working on doing alittle body on the bac of the cab. mainly working on getting the old cab off the frame, its all stripped out, removed the complete dash, (not sure what Ill do with it) the cargo lite and anything i could . need to get the front cab mounts off and cut the hump area out for the new cab and remove the doors then off to the scrap yard, shame the firewall is to me all but prefect no extra holes anywhere

[pugs]
