Crewcab "the rolling resume build"

[jbclassix]

I am adding 3 inches into the rear doors. Once I set the cab on the frame you guys will see why. I found a set of SRW hubs for the Dana 60 front, but they are Dodge externals, so I am having second thoughts about that set... We'll see.

Took a day to mess around with the turd tugger so that my brother could drive it until the body was done.

I guess I could actually remember to take pictures of what I have been doing... I got the door skins off as well as some of the pieces cut for the dash. No more goofing off now that the owner is watching, huh!

Now you have my attention. Going to keep an eye on this build. Good Luck!

some progress pictures...

No welding yet, still just fitting

This is messing me all up (the front corner is not square!)


My brother dropped off his front doors, which the whole cab will be built around. That is why there are no braces in the body yet. these trucks had terrible gapping, I plan to fix that on this one.


Couple cuts...


Random... this is where I am measuring to square up the inside of my pillars


Cut, fit cut, fit... I have a solution for the window frame now...


Just seeing how it looks!


So my plan is to move the front edge of the window frame back one inch, and add an inch to the B pillar above the belt line... and this (along with a few other mods) should give me enough room to one piece the rear windows.
