Re: tilly to the rescue
made a cabcart from the middle section of an old frame. around here everything has to be portable and the carts are easy to make. and they make the cab easy to work on.

Re: tilly to the rescue
now about the cab... i was fooled on this one. after accessing the original cab and opting for a different one which i thought was better, was in fact just as bad. the new cab was crunched on the right side bad. after digging out the bondo i found out just how bad it was. fresh air horn, front door pillar, rocker, inner rocker and the entire rear corner from the middle of the window down. wow, this is gonna take some time and lots of patience.
pic of the bad corner plus the sacrifical old cab which was cut up for the fix. |

Re: tilly to the rescue
cutout the big window conversion which was a breeze compared to getting a good fit. will fill the, panel to top, seam alla chad once the bodywork starts.
big challenge will be the rightside rear corner. the cab must have been hit hard on this side and the bodyshop that fixed it didn't really fix it. they just molded everything in body filler. the welding is horrible and the alignment is worse. but i got a better corner from a donner truck that will completely replace the bad work. |

Re: tilly to the rescue
i leave you with this pic of the frame and utility bed put in hybernation. while work on the cab and doors continues i have no space for the storage of completed parts. this is as close to a bagged truck as i've gotten so far.
![]() between the bed and frame is a car that i restored back in the early ninties. its due a paint job but i got to get the cab squared away first... |

Re: tilly to the rescue
Very nice on those springs! They enhance without being over the top, like my stuff....
Those cab shoulder corners are not so bad. If you recall I had to replace mine too. Just as easy/hard as the lower cab corners IMO HoooRayyy for progress !! ![]()
