He's actually been working on his. He got the cab stripped down, just waiting on me to make some room in the shop so we can get started.

Re: 68 K-10 SWB build thread - project Money Pit...pics galore!
working later tonight so I decided to fix my cab cart and get it a little higher off the ground. This will allow me to work on the corners, rockers, pillars and vents at a more comfortabe height. Should only need to roll it on its back one more time to rhino line the bottom.

Re: 68 K-10 SWB build thread - project Money Pit...pics galore!
Here is the area that doesn't match up that well on the new floor. Right behind the gas pedal, it's not contoured like the firewall...
Maybe Jim can highlight the area that he cut so that it will fit better...???

On your contour problem from I can see, I'd use a little heat and hammer and dolly it to where it needs to be. Just a thought.

I might even make a relief cut so I could move it to where I need it to be.

I think it just needs that in the area above the two holes, where it meets the firewall... Nothing big though.

I would relieve the firewall and dolly everything into place (I would watch someone relieve the firewall and dolly it into place...I know my limitations)

Do I look like I've logged any miles on the treadmill? Like all good excercise equipment it just gets moved from one place to the other and collects dust. At least they don't have clothes hanging from them like the stuff at the house.

Re: 68 K-10 SWB build thread - project Money Pit...pics galore!
Got some new patch panels in the mail today... I never would have thought that I would look to Minnesota for rust free metal... A board member was scraping a cab and took the time to cut these out for me... Thanks again Brent (brossow)...
Now I just have to decide how much am I gonna cut out of my cab. I don't want to go to far on this project ya know...

Just started reading this thread, it's a shame they don't make cabs new like they do the 69 camaros or you'd be driving that thing already.

Re: 68 K-10 SWB build thread - project Money Pit...pics galore!
Is the floor centered in the cab? looks like it should be more to the right in the high hump area. The flange on the floorboard looks alittle big, start in the center and work your way out. I can always take a road trip if needed! The only area that you haven't taken apart is the roof...lol
