Re: Project '66 Dirtrod: K-30 Extended Cab
Just found your build here and after three hours I feel it was a very brief scan though such a great and in depth build, WOW will have to sum it up for me because you and your father have rendered me speechless.
Very nice work and a life time of cherish able memories for you and your father. This is much more than a truck the two of you are building it is a legacy some what a passing of the torch “a passing of knowledge and skill from father to son. Very cool I will defiantly have to spend some more time here to better absorb what has been done and keep up with what is to come. Thank you for sharing this. |

Re: Project '66 Dirtrod: K-30 Extended Cab
Hey guys, this truck has been at a standstill for quite awhile as you can probably tell!
![]() But I have a little more money saved up to start buying a few parts we want and a few things we need. As for the body, our body guy is still slowly working on it when he has time. That is our biggest hold up at the moment. We are also trying to mount up the a/c compressor which may lead to re-doing some of the accessory brackets. And we had to pull the tires and wheels to put on another truck, they were gettting old and started to form flat spots so she's sitting on trailer spares for now... ![]() ![]()

Re: Project '66 Dirtrod: K-30 Extended Cab
Well we got the inner skin cut, fit, and glued together (we didnt weld from fear of warpage) and we got the outer skin cut and laid in place. The dash is nearly done, it just lacks some smoothing. And the rockers on the extended part need to be welded up.
The plan as of now is to have it out of the body shop by summer. After the roof gets done, we have to lay the floor in, panel the sides then decide how we are going to make the windows work. We are currently thinking about taking some ideas from the way the suburban windows fit in. So after the cab work is done, we'll get it into primer and undercoated so we can take it back to our place to marry it back to the frame. Some of the biggest struggles we have had on the cab so far is fighting the 1/2 inch difference in width from the front of our addon and the back of the original cab. And the differences in the contour of the roof skins. They create all sorts of issues when fitting the roof skins. We found that making the right amount of relief cuts in certain panels was the best solution. We also decided that drilling out the spot welds and removing the panels whole made good fitment a lot easier than trying to just make one cut around the back of the cab. If any one has any questions about any step so far feel free to ask it! Ill do my best to answer it! Posted via Mobile Device

Re: Project '66 Dirtrod: K-30 Extended Cab
Outstanding fabrication skills. I like to see things come together piece by piece like this. I have been browsing this forum for years, but this thread is what finally convinced me to register. I am really looking forward to seeing more pictures of the cab as it continues to come together. I am drawing up (in my mind) a project that involves a C6500 series, CAT Diesel, manual transmission, a 66 Suburban body, interior out of a 2001 body style Suburban, an 8' bed, and using step side fenders as dually fenders for the bed.... yes, it will be long, but with four kids, I gotta build the tow rig for the 5 horse gooseneck trailer, might as well do it with style.
The cab pictures should prove helpful since I want to make the 66 'Burban a 4 door instead of a 2. ![]()

Re: Project '66 Dirtrod: K-30 Extended Cab
Thanks for the positive comments!!
![]() My son got a bit more of the bodywork done with our paint/body guy...fitting in the rear floor extension and patching holes across the floor and firewall that won't be needed. In addition to smoothing the firewall, they also started forming the reliefs needed for the tall valve covers. Slow but steady progress...
