Re: 71 4X4 Frame off Restoration
I picked up my cab today an early Christmas present. My nephew stopped by and helped me set it on the frame. Had to pull the bed off then set the cab on then put the bed back on. it just fit in the garage door with 1" to clear. It looks like the T-case shift levers will fit with out any modification. Got lucky there. This is the first time the cab has been on the frame with the running gear installed. Next step fit the seat, 2004 steering column, break and clutch peddles.

Re: 71 4X4 Frame off Restoration
Well Congrats!!! Huge milestone. If I remember correctly, it went a lot faster once I started getting body parts back on the frame to finish mock-up.
Keep at it and good luck. Chris

Re: 71 4X4 Frame off Restoration
Hello First C10
It's been raining here in California at least in my area most week ends and I can't work on the truck in my garage no room to move around. I have to move my truck out side to do anything. I did buy electric fan set up last week and Monday was a holiday so I was able to drop off some part at my powder coater. |

Re: 71 4X4 Frame off Restoration
I totally understand that's a big truck and that garage. Yeah it's been raining a lot on the side of the hill also. I just thought I check in on you see how you were doing. I'm going to be Ordering my vintage air so I can get the holes and any mounting brackets added to the cab before I send it off to get the body work done. Glad to hear you're getting some stuff done.

Re: 71 4X4 Frame off Restoration
I have my cab set up for the Vintage Air kit. you have to cut 2 round holes and 1 square hole in the dash for the vents. the kit comes with a plate to cover the heater box hole. I welded up the heater box holes on my cab. The coil that goes in front of the radiator fit like factory one for me. I added a second grommet for the lines that go through the core support. you can get an extra grommet from any of the suppliers for the factory set up works good. I also got the factory bracket to support the line under the battery box.

Re: 71 4X4 Frame off Restoration
How did you mount the evaporator and fan assembly on the inside?

Re: 71 4X4 Frame off Restoration
I worked on getting the wiring harness out of my 2004 Suburban I bought about year ago. The city sent me a letter to get my trucks off the dirt by Thursday last week or they will fine me $100. So I did get 2 of them off the dirt but the Suburban is mostly gutted just need the wiring and brake parts and then I can drop it off at the wrecking yard. Ho and I did get the seat out of the Suburban and in my 71 they fit real good. just have to bolt them in place.

Re: 71 4X4 Frame off Restoration
I have not installed anything in the cab yet. I do know that we loose most of the glove box. The kit comes with a new glove box that is about 3" deep.

Re: 71 4X4 Frame off Restoration
Oh ok. Was there a pattern or template to identify the location for the holes in the firewall?

Yes the kit comes with templates to drill the holes in the fire wall.

Re: 71 4X4 Frame off Restoration
A buddy of mine used the filler piece that vintage air sent with the kit. He said that the bolts that hold the inside piece are the ones that go through the firewall filler piece and firewall. I plan to try and install studs to the inside of the cabs firewall.
