Re: Father/Son/Friend 63 C10 Build

Disaster and recovery......somewhat.

Well, we had a pretty big set back on the cab. Long story short, I was working on a Lincoln Navigator for my Dad when it rolled into the cab of the truck and destroyed the back panel and pushed the firewall into a large hydraulic press. Only damage to the Lincoln was driver headlight needed replaced.

Luckily, we found another 63 cab on Facebook and picked it up the next day. We were able to use the rear cab panel as well as part of the inner window panel. Finally got it all welded and mostly metal finished. We were able to pull out and re-shape the firewall to a decent condition. Still needs a bit more metal work before primer and body work. All in all, this wasn't as bad as it could've been but I about puked when I saw the damage to the cab.
