Re: Super Cheyenne aka the "Devil Cowboy"
So Sunday morning I raised the cab and got the body lift out and set the cab back down in the same location on 4x4 timber blocks that had in the shop. Did some cleaning up in the shop from the mess I made on Saturday. then pushed the truck into the driveway and did an inside and outside power wash. Got another few pounds of dirt off of the truck and then rolled it in for the day.
Monday I was about attacking the cab issues that needed welding. At this point I knew there was a small hole on the drinker's side of the cab about midway, and also another one slightly larger on the captain's side. Also knew there was one on top of the roof that was from an old CB radio antenna. So I started to strip down the drinker side back corner around the hole area and I knew I had to work my way up following the filler I could see. I could tell there was going to be a surprise or two so I marched forward. As you can see in the pictures there was a boatload more damage that had been covered up with filler. It looks like the back of the cab had maybe a camper or something in the bed that hit it hard and created a few dents and a crease. Glad I took it down to metal to find the issue. Got the small hole patched up and sanded down. Pic 1-Grinding out the filler to expose the issue Pic 2-Exposing the ugly Pic 3-Took it all the way down since there is other areas that will need some work Pic 4-Cut out a small patch for the hole Pic 5-All welded in and hit with 80 grit on a small air sander
