Re: 65Custom Build Thread
Thought that I would post a pic of the passenger side cab corner.
Maybe these will give you an idea of how they fit. |

Re: 65Custom Build Thread
Thanks for the complement I need all those I can get. Some days is harder than others to keep going but I am making it a priority to get this thing done.
By day I work in IT and by night I am a mechanic, carpenter, cook, Gardner, metal fab worker, designer, engineer, father what ever it takes to get it done. Don't get me wrong I have had some help on this thing in a couple of areas just to make sure that I'm not screwing it up, but I have done 99% of the work myself. |

Re: 65Custom Build Thread
Ive never seem it done that way, but having just replaced the floor, inner and out rockers that seem to be far superior for finished look and strength . I would bet anyway. Nice work. Changing floors and rockers SUCK!

so the floor replacement was the best way to go and I can truly say that the floor is truly rust free and once Im finished the whole cab minus a few hard to reach areas will be treated and as rust free as anyone can get it and well worth the extra time Last edited by 65Custom; 10-25-2009 at 12:01 AM. |

Re: 65Custom Build Thread
Well starting to get back on it after being laid up for awhile and then the Hoildays came up so that stops everything.
Got the Back wall repair welds ground down and all the welding inside the cab done too. I still have several things to complete before I can say that I'm done with the cab. I have a some repairs in the door jambs and and then replacing the roof panel and two custom mods that I will show once I get there I hope they work out anyway here are some pics of the progress. |

Re: 65Custom Build Thread
Got the Driver side Air box back on and now ready for grinding down all my welds across the front cowl. Once I have that completed I'm off to fixing some near rust through in the door jambs on both the passenger side and the driver side.
The Driver side Drip rail will be replaced soon, I also need a passenger side Drip Rail if some one happens to have one let me know. |

I have heard that removing the drip rails can cause water to come in through the doors this may be more prominent once the door seal wears, but it is only what I have heard. I would love to hear from anyone who has removed the drip rails and can comment. |

Thanks Chief, yes I do love these old trucks, if I had a place where I could keep a few I probably would have a whole yard full of them, I find them around here all the time and some for great prices. |
