Hmm... If I would have realized those were available sooner then we probably would have gone that route and made a few things easier...

Thanks for sharing that! But we will probably just stick with the one we have for now.

Well I stopped by our body guy's place and dropped some rockers off for him to play with. Snapped some pics and BS'ed for a little while. We've both been busy with other things, but now that I'm starting to save a little money up I'm getting my head back into it. I'm really anxious to get this dang cab back!!!

I'll post some pics of the progress soon.

Very cool. I know these projects take a lot of time and money. It is a long road but well worth it in the end!

"I'll post some pics of the progress soon."
its been 2 days!!

RockTonka · 01-07-2011, 09:07 PM

His school started back up Wed., and it's Fri. night now...we won't get anything outta him for another day or two at least

Let me see if I can pick up the slack...

Progress is slow

, but we kinda knew that stepping into this. We're finding areas that need attention as our buddy works through grafting the cabs together...so far only the rear cab corners and rockers are needing much.

RockTonka · 01-07-2011, 09:24 PM

The dash has been fit in, still needs a lot of work...but we can see it coming together.
The scallop at each corner will let us fit the front down legs of the cage forward and tight against the a-pillar. Shouldn't loose any leg/knee room

Rear corners of the main cab cleaned up nice.

**Dieselwrencher** · 01-08-2011, 12:14 AM

Very nice!

MikeJones16 · 02-23-2011, 01:46 AM

Amazing!

Can you send a picture of how you mounted the wires off the distributor? Looks clean.

jonzcustomshop · 02-23-2011, 01:59 AM

I like that dash in there!

Hope this suffices...

Awesome job. Nice engineering.

McC_65_91 · 03-26-2011, 07:51 PM

any updates?? this thing is bad a$$

oklahomaduner · 03-30-2011, 11:43 PM

Not really bud... it's pretty much at a stand still waiting on the body. But my birthday is just around the corner and my dad told me he knew where some parts were I might be interested in. So after suffering through an hour or two of looking at patio furniture we headed over to an old friend of my dad's place where these parts were. Turned out to be a complete (mostly still in the box) Vintage Air system!!

He had tons of little parts and pieces we looked through and we picked up a few of them like the air controls out of a 63 and another set of controls that might work instead (no idea what they are from) Then we went to look at a 62 he had in his driveway and noticed it had a brand new Guage insert with the exact guages I have wanted, so he popped it out for us. All said and done we ended up with all the stuff for about a third of what just the a/c system cost!!!! Needless to say, I'm super excited!

(Camera batteries died, more pics soon)

MrBeast · 03-31-2011, 12:17 AM

Wow, cant belive I missed this build.

You are all doing one hell of a job.

I am going to be anxious to see how it turns out.

My friend I think you may just have a future in playing with trucks!

RockTonka · 03-31-2011, 12:48 AM

Couple more pics...

chad64chevy · 04-12-2011, 02:10 PM

any updates?? awesome truck!! would love to see it when its done!! i would drive up there just to see it in person!!!

Sarge261 · 04-24-2011, 08:49 PM

Subscribed, You and your dad have done awesome work. I always wanted to get my dad in the shop with me but he doesnt like to do the mechanical work anymore. He'll help alittle but thats about it.

Keep up the Great work,

Sarge

**Dieselwrencher** · 04-26-2011, 08:06 PM

Nice score on the parts! That cluster is awesome! Oh yeah, Happy late Birthday buddy!

alwaysbroken · 06-18-2011, 09:27 PM

i want to bring this thread alive again. its awesome to watch and im going to do almost the exact same thing. mine will be with a long box not a extra cab. any updates?

bubba327 · 06-19-2011, 01:14 AM

How in the world have I missed this thread??? You and your dad have done amazing work on this.. I'll be following along from now on until it is finished..................

oklahomaduner · 06-19-2011, 02:06 AM

Thanks everyone for the support! Things have been going real slow for awhile. I've gotten some small things done like brake lines and I ran all the wires for a trailer plug and rear lights. The cab is coming together, we got the inner skin cut and fit together and the drivers door hung. It's definitely starting to pick up again!

Right now we aren't sure how they will be moved. We cut all the mounts off the frame and we will see what needs to be done when the cab returns.
