BbQ it will be. The biggest problem is with scheduling. They had a big meet 2 years ago and I was fishing. Hopefully, we can get it worked out where a bunch of members can come. Hope to be driving mine this time.

Thanks! I'm not sure on the mileage but I would guess around 17-20mpg with the 4.8. But, would really like to upsize to a 6.0 more like 15mpg

**Dieselwrencher** · 12-30-2011, 02:01 AM

Time for a long overdue update. I have been hammering hard on this cab most of my free time in January. Golf only when the time and weather allows.

I started by stripping the cab. I don't see how anyone would want to part out these old rusty trucks? It's not for me.
I have a pretty straight rust free cab (seen earlier in the build) but I wanted to see how hard it would be to fix this one. Probably a bad decision but it is what it is now.

So this is what I'm up against.

Started cleaning up the bottom side. This is not for the faint, undercoat is a pain to get off. I use a propane torch and razor scraper. then finished it with the wire wheel. It's slow going.

Removed the rockers to sandblast areas that I'm saving.

mcbassin · 01-26-2012, 12:53 AM

I sandblasted all the areas that have rust issues. Then moved it inside. My plan is to repair all the rust, paint the bottom and start body work.
Nice rocker panels

Out with the shaved driprail cab in with the not

Some of the new patch panels from Kenny's trucks. (thanks Kyle!)

mcbassin · 01-26-2012, 01:27 AM

One thing I recommend before cutting any panels out, take lots of measurements. I record them
with a Sharpie on the metal. You will see it in some pics. I think the fit will go smoother if you measure everything before the cuts, during the tack up and after weld up.

Zoomin · 01-26-2012, 12:22 AM

tick tock....

**Dieselwrencher** · 01-26-2012, 04:14 AM

Looking good! Did you get bored?

I really like the older tabco stuff. I've had of their stuff lately that was as bad as Taiwan crap. I've had real good luck with tri-plus patches for these trucks. Keep up the rust repair my friend!

Crash_OK · 01-26-2012, 07:30 AM

Looks great Mike.. I got my parts from LMC yesterday... The floor pan peices really suck, just like you said they would.. I am going to call LMC today and see what they will do.... Keep posting pictures of your progress..
