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 y'all, it's been fun getting back on this. I like the little projects that you can knock out in a weekend.

Re: Project '66 Dirtrod: K-30 Extended Cab
Not much to add, but we did get the custom crank pulley spacer in from Mena S&P. This allowed us to move the pulley out 5/8" (one groove width) and use all three crank grooves...ps and alt with ac comp on the one farthest out. That crowded the fan, so we had to use a 1/2" spacer between the water pump and fan clutch...leaves about 3/4" between fan and rad. Going to try and fiqure out a shroud this weekend.

Re: Project '66 Dirtrod: K-30 Extended Cab
That's sweet! It sure would be nice to have the equipment to be able to build these one off pieces in house wouldn't it?

Re: Project '66 Dirtrod: K-30 Extended Cab
Don't ya know it!
I'd really miss carving out pieces with the torch and wearing out the grinder getting them smooth though...  I'm always scouring CL for a semi decent lathe and wouldn't mind an old mill either...maybe one of these days

Re: Project '66 Dirtrod: K-30 Extended Cab
My son and I tossed around a few ideas for shrouds this weekend, different materials and whatnot. Then thought we'd try to fiberglass one after seeing a post here referencing a how-to somewhere.
So...my son made a support frame out of hard board, wrapped it in stretchy fabric, applied a few coats of resin, applied a few coats of fiberglass, trimmed it out, smoothed it with bondo, and voila'...we have a shroud! We fit it in tonight and are pleased with the result. We're thinking we will probably have it bedlined inside and out to seal it all off...

Well now that school is out for summer and the vacation period has passed, we are back on the truck! After we mounted the shroud, we started work on the condenser. We made up some simple brackets and did a little shaving on the core support. I have also been able to spend more time with our body guy in a mad dash to get the cab work done. We got the A/C unit mounted in the cab. We also built a new cab dolly that will allow us to tilt the cab on its back to smooth, weld, seal up, and undercoat it. While I was working on the dolly, my dad knocked out all the welding on it in the blink of an eye, and our body guy was finishing up smoothing out the floor and fitting in some pieces in the extended section. We got one skin cut and fit up, but the goal for tomorrow is to get both skins on, floor fully finished up, and start some more work on the dash. By the end of the month the cab should be out of his shop and back at our place to start playing with a roll cage. So here are a bunch of pics for everyone, and stay tuned for more updates this week and this month!!!!

Re: Project '66 Dirtrod: K-30 Extended Cab
Great work, and thanks for posting pics of the shroud! That's awesome! Did you cover the fabric with wax paper before applying resin? What kind of fabric was it, do you remember? I'm going to have to try this on my conversions. Great idea! By the way, your cab is looking awesome!
