Re: Project '66 Dirtrod: K-30 Extended Cab
I've said it on Pirate and I'll say it here too, awesome work, that cab looks great.
![]() And I'm also curious about where you got that power window kit? My dad did power windows in his 64, but he used a bunch of Cadillac equipment to make his own setup, and it ended up being pretty bulky, I'd like to avoid that and go with a kit like what you posted, looks small and simple. Does the place you got that kit from have anything for the '60-'63 cabs?

Re: Project '66 Dirtrod: K-30 Extended Cab
I'm actually not sure sure where all the pieces came from. I knew them about six months ago but I have since forgotten. I bought them from a guy who decided against installing them on his truck. I'll ask him next time I talk to him and let y'all know!

Re: Project '66 Dirtrod: K-30 Extended Cab
Thanks, we're excited to get the cab positioned onto the chassis...gotta see what it's gonna look like. My son and one of his buddies washed the dust off the chassis this afternoon...

Re: Project '66 Dirtrod: K-30 Extended Cab
Damn, two months and still no body on chassis
![]() We have been busy working on our burb and since firing it off for the first time (well, few times now) my son is more anxious than ever to hear his ![]() We weren't completely happy with the no name intake and smallish 650 carb we've had on this, so decided to swap them out for a Edelbrock Performer 2.0 intake and Edelbrock Thunder series 750 carb ![]() ![]() ![]() We also had the rad hold down powder coated silver vein to match other parts and pieces (we will use the same on the cage and whatever else is powder coated). Also had the fan shroud rhino lined to protect/stiffen up the fiberglass...really liked how that came out! So...rad, rad support, shroud, fan, and whatnot went on in prep for fitting the cab/front clip and hopefully kick out some cab mounts in the next few weeks??

Re: Project '66 Dirtrod: K-30 Extended Cab
It will be interesting to see how much the truck weighs when finished with all the holes vs. all the new additional steel.

Re: Project '66 Dirtrod: K-30 Extended Cab
I know you have probably said it already, but what brand dies are you using and what kind of press? Its a real smart process. You remove weight and add rigidity.

Re: Project '66 Dirtrod: K-30 Extended Cab
Top of page 5, posts 101-115 has info for the dies both directly from the manufacturer or through Ebay. Mosely Machine in TX makes them in-house relatively cheap...either 1018 or 4140 in a variety of sizes. We got the 7-pc, 4140, drilled set...makes it easy to use them on the pieces that don't fit in our cheap 20T press
