The heater delete panel also got some attention today. All those pesky holes I left after installing the panel are no more.

She can call my wife to vent, I'm sure there's a support group they can join.

It's awesome; I get updates every day and sometimes twice a day. DeWayne told me be for I took it up there that I wouldn't be able to tell anything was ever replaced when he was done, but I think that was a fib. This cab is going to be WAY better than factory and it will be very apparent to anyone who knows these trucks! While I wasn't prepared for and never intended to do any rust repair or paint work on this truck, DeWayne has made it well worth the time, effort and money. I will have an extremely solid body to build on when he is done.

Got the frame back to a roller, it still needs some work but it will do to make the trip to Tennessee to get the sheet metal. Snapped a few pics while it was outside this afternoon. I'd put a snappy caption for each pic but each one is self explanatory so let's just get to it.

You need a different roller chassis to haul your cab on!

Thanks guys, but beggars can't be choosers so we'll have to use this one.

Thanks guys but the folks at Porterbuilt Fabrication, Billet Specialties, CPP, and Boyd Welding get the credit for the great looking parts... I just bolted them together.

knomadd · 05-04-2015, 04:03 PM

The powdercoating on that frame looks so smooth, the 2nd pic (looking up to the sky) makes the passenger side of the frame look like tinted glass... like there's sky behind it, not a reflection... nice and flat and shiny! Looks great!

C10_ustacould · 05-07-2015, 09:26 AM

A few updates from the guys at Nsane Hot Rodz...

Before and after... This is one of the things that bothered me the most about buying this truck. I was told by the P.O. member jasonvw that the dash was not cut. Well, you can see that was a lie. DeWayne has looking factory again. I think I'll try and find a factory am/fm and speaker set up to go in it.
