Re: 1965 swb restomod
I will hopefully be following you along with the same process in about a month. One of the things I will need to do is build a cab dolly like yours. I plan to put it out to the forum for design ideas, but thought I would ask you as well. How high does your sit the cab off the ground and do you have it sitting on the cab support rails or on the cab mounts? I am lucking on mine that I don't need to do any work to the cab supports. So, I was thinking about building mine so it sits like it will sit on the frame and have the the cab sit on the dolly at the cab mounts. Just wondering how you built yours.

Re: 1965 swb restomod
Git the back half of the frame stripped down yesterday and found the rear cross member is bent. I also noticed the front one is bent. I found a guy who has a set of good ones he will sell me so the bent ones will be coming out today. I'm also going to finish stripping the rear diff and start on the front suspension. I'm off the next couple of days while my wife is at work so I can work without being interrupted. Lol

Re: 1965 swb restomod
Not my wife, apparently with todays technology, calling me while I was @$$ deep in grease is okay. Then I dropped the phone as it was so slippery from the grease, called her back immediately and she said I hung up on her. I said no, I'm @$$ deep in grease, dropped the phone, sorry (my fault I guess). LOL. We laugh about it. THAT was after I told her I'd be @$$ deep in grease! She's a great woman though, helped me get the 350 in my '64! I'm liking the progress on this truck!
