Project: ALTER-K-TION ('57 GMC Quad Cab) - Page 8 - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

addicted2dunes · 02-02-2011, 01:18 AM

Alrighty boys and girls, feeling a lot better after my accident and now that I have family watching what I'm doing I worked my ass off today on this truck. Probably won't look much different to a lot of people but I ended up cutting the first front cab off and starting over with another cab. This time around I left the cab as complete as I could to keep it from moving around too much.

I also had to move this project from the side of my house to get my Jimmy out because it was sold. This is what I call a custom hitch.

Here is the progress so far. New cab fitted up and firewall panels starting to go into place. Spent most of today hacking all the excess out of the cab.

Glad to see you are back on the horse!

addicted2dunes · 02-03-2011, 02:36 AM

Ordered all kinds of goodies from Classic Industries. Cowl panels, cab corners, hinge kits, hinge repair panels (inner, outer, and side), and other odds and ends. Sheetmetal gets expensive!

addicted2dunes · 09-04-2011, 08:44 PM

This baby is on long term hold.... I've been trying to get our '50 Plymouth all buttoned up before I start back on this. I know, I know, excuses, excuses. There is only so much time in one day though.
