Man it is really amazing how clean this cab is ! rockers and a backing plate on the drivers side and I think it will be good .....we will see after media blasting next week !

**67cheby** · 11-15-2014, 10:54 AM

and the end result of our 4 hours of work a pile of parts ready to be Media Blasted and a cab ready for some extra hands to help lift it off the frame !

**67cheby** · 11-15-2014, 10:56 AM

I cleaned about 85 % of the undercoating off the bottom of the cab

**67cheby** · 11-17-2014, 10:32 AM

Great progress this weekend, Got the longbed frame stripped and ready for Clem !

Cab off the frame and wire wheeled the whole bottom of the cab to get ready to be glass bead blasted, of course you then expose all the extra rust. Still not bad

**67cheby** · 11-17-2014, 10:35 AM

here is the other rust shots....for some reason the pictures came out crappy !

I never like the way the aftermarket rockers fit in the back of the door and my factory ones are good in that area thinking of doing it this way ......Any input ? good or bad idea ?

**67cheby** · 11-17-2014, 10:39 AM

Surgically removed all the short bed cross members for Clem , they will live again in another build !

Getting this SWB frame ready for all the Porterbuilt goodies !!!! CANT WAIT !

Pile of sheet metal ready for media blasting !

**Cash3481** · 11-17-2014, 11:09 AM

What ended up working best for you on stripping the bottom of the cab? Twisted Wire, flap disc, wire brush or propane torch and a scraper.
I'm always looking for better ways to do stuff.
Its looking awesome and that Clem is using the extras is a plus!

Scraped some off with a putty knife then wire wheeled with my angle grinder, then soaked with air craft stripper, ran the putty knife back over and then when it dried re-wire wheeled it with my angle grinder, it took me about 4 hours

**Cash3481** · 11-17-2014, 12:08 PM

persistence pays I guess.
Congrats on getting it ready to go!

reaper71 · 11-17-2014, 01:16 PM

She look's a bit rough in some spots but i'm sure you can iron those out!! looks good as always..

Hey Mike... that frame and cross members look exactly the same as a 67-72... is that right?...

duallyjams · 11-17-2014, 08:48 PM

great progress

Mostly they are. The cab mounts & core support mounts are in different locations and might be a bit different and the front frame horns where the bumper mounts to is different. Also, the frame is not indented at the steering box like the 68-72 frames.

watahyahknow · 11-18-2014, 02:07 PM

the frame might be narrower overall too
