Super Bad A$$!!!!

[DWright]

now that i have your attention you'll find that this thread is anything but bad-ass. i just wanted to show ya'll my new cab-donor truck. feel free to express your opinions.

[jjdup]

WOW! Must have been on some strong stuff when they did that!

[Corts60]

Excellent camo! You can barely see it in the last pic!

[DWright]

The guy i bought it from used it to tow his racecar form 1974-98. it has a 1 ton rear in it along with a 4 speed trans from the same 1 ton truck. its an original longbed custom. as for the crazy paint, he didnt tell me and i didnt ask...

[protrash64]

I think you should leave the seats in when you transfer the cab.

[DWright]

they are pretty cushy....

[shrunken66stroker]

pile of puke. actually looks similar to what i found in my son's diaper this morning.

[DWright]

why thank you shrunken66 for those awesome word of encouragement.

[DWright]

for those of you who havent seen my heep that this cab is going to call home soon; here it is...

Looks like a cool project. I kinda like the gauges sitting where they are in the donor truck.

I was only speaking about the color of course. I hope it's solid.

[blue64]

is the hood any good?

[DWright]

no dents in the hood Blue, the some rust thru on the sides; seems workable to me.

[scotts62]

Good lookin stepper you have there!

[DWright]

yeah, i kinda like the way those guages are mounted too. if i can get'em to work i'll clean them up and use the. it a shame the dash in the "new" truck is all jacked up with holes and cuts. i guess thats one of the pluses to having an all steel dash- easy fixes. i might just cut my 66's dash out to replace the butchered one in the new cab. my daily driver's dash in pics 2 and 3

[DWright]

thanks scott. i have really enjoyed watching your progress.

this thread title has disappointed me...I was hoping for something that actually was SUPER BAD ASS!!!!

[DWright]

i'm doin' my best guys; very slim pickins' in my area. hell, theres only one other 60-66 bodied truck runnin around the county other than mine and only two 67-72s

That donor truck is interesting looking to say the least.

Gaining the big back window is a plus. Too bad the dash is butchered. If you're planning on installing a new windshield, it wouldn't be that much more work to switch the dashes. Might be easier than trying to fix the one in the donor cab.

[DWright]

yeah, i'd rather swap dashes than cut mine up to fix the other. my dash has no non-original holes other than the two scew holes where i mounted the cd player underneath. i'm swapping cabs not just for the big back glass but also because its in overall better shape. you can see in the pics of my truck that the corners are pretty bashed up and the rockers were made with light guage steel rolled over re-bar. the new cab is almost perfect outside and the hole truck cost me $50

[shrunken66stroker]

I'm with captainfab. It would be easier to pull your old dash and drop it in the donor even if you weren't planning on pulling the windshield of the donor cab. If you put your old windshield back in at least you'll have new weather stripping. I always had a leak where the stripping separated at the joint. And a big back window to boot. That's a score regardless of the paint color.

Do I see a burb gas tank in the back of the bed???

[DWright]

Oh! The carnage!!! WHY?!?!?! Dont worry guys, i saved all of the good parts before destroying the front-end. unfortunately the only parts worth saving were the cowls.
