Nice rendering.Looks like your going to have one bad azz truck.The step side bed even looks cool.

jb4short · 03-28-2008, 08:59 PM

Could this be "Special-K" putting a floor in?

**special-K** · 03-29-2008, 12:56 AM

How`s he gonna do that sitting on his arse pokin`keyboard buttons all the time?Wait! I was supposed to leave saying that to someone else.

Get all the dirty work done and I`ll roll up.

All these trends going back to basics.I`ve heard of rat rods,patina pickups,and now Fred & Barney power?

Lowers your carbon footprint

cdhc10 · 04-22-2008, 09:10 PM

Dano69c10 · 04-22-2008, 09:23 PM

Are the firewalls available in both A/C and Non A/C versions?
Thanx

I don't think there's a difference- just two different year ranges ('67-'68 and '69-'72)

jb4short · 03-29-2008, 01:00 AM

kinda looks like he's mining

jb4short · 04-22-2008, 11:02 PM

Here's some shots from today with the one piece floor and firewall in place:

jb4short · 04-23-2008, 01:29 AM

On the Jim Jaros difficulty scale for metal work he gave it a 5 out of 10

jb4short · 04-23-2008, 10:12 PM

today jim buttoned up the firewall and did some measuring and marking for the footwell patches. He then hung a set of doors to check final fitment so he can start welding up the floor and firewall. Then the rockers will come off to do the "A" and "B" pillar

Number98 · 04-23-2008, 10:16 PM

Looking nice..... I have to grab a few small patches from you guys this week.

msgross · 05-11-2008, 04:05 PM

It doesn't look like the firewall has the factory braces up the front, from the bottom up.... What's the fix for those?

You have to remove them to get the cab floor up into location, since the cowl was getting replaced, it was just easier. Will mount them up later, the builder is alittle slow

**FRENCHBLUE72** · 04-24-2008, 03:17 AM

Sweet floor installation..

msgross · 04-24-2008, 03:29 AM

very nice plan and a good deed for your friend.....

Do you stock those floors? I am tempted to go that route instead of my 50 patch panels.... I am close enough to pick it up from your shop...Can you cut the hump out to add a high hump?

Are you coming out to Carlisle again? we met at Special K's spot at the truck show last year...
