TimE · 01-18-2009, 11:18 PM

Did you ever find a "blaster" to do your cab? I'm bored at work and just wondering how progress is coming.

scotts62 · 01-18-2009, 11:27 PM

Well you see Joe has been hiding lately and now that you mention it we havent seen any pics in a while.. so Mr. Joe whats going on??

joe231 · 01-19-2009, 12:02 PM

keep it up TimE

502tripower · 01-19-2009, 01:20 PM

Looks good Joe... I noticed on your tunnel that the upper section is not spot welded in. Is that how the 4-5-6 trucks are? Here is mine after I drilled out all the spots to change to the low tunnel. Just curious if 60-62 did this different.

I believe in the 4-5-6 trucks, the low hump is made into the floor and the high hump is bolted to the floor......not sure.
My father in law cut out the floor and put in the bolt-in high hump when he installed the 283/sm465 combo, many years ago.

joe231 · 01-20-2009, 09:31 AM
