Nice score DW!

Ta2Don · 02-15-2014, 01:12 AM

Drooled over that one but finances wouldn't allow, not to mention my wife would've been kicking me outside with the dog...

Thought I'd help you out and re-post this for ya...

dwcardfan · 02-15-2014, 07:16 AM

Thanks. I sent that one from the phone and I guess I had it turned when I posted it. I still have not figured out how to edit pic after I post.

I am hoping the cab looks as good when I start removing it.

**TJ's Chevy** · 02-15-2014, 12:19 PM

Ha....much easier looking at it this way...my neck is back to normal now.

dwcardfan · 02-19-2014, 03:20 PM

Ok I got a day off from work and it is nice day. I had a friend come over and help me take the cab off the new donor.

dwcardfan · 02-19-2014, 03:24 PM

More pics

markeb01 · 02-19-2014, 04:27 PM

Good for you! That looks like a whole lot less work than either of the other choices.

dwcardfan · 02-19-2014, 04:51 PM

Thanks Mark. I feel a lot better about this one. Money well spent.

**TJ's Chevy** · 02-19-2014, 05:20 PM

Nice looking cab! Eagerly waiting to see it on the other truck!

dwcardfan · 02-19-2014, 06:04 PM

Me to TJ. It might be a while.

dwcardfan · 02-19-2014, 06:06 PM

I will post some up close pics of the new cab tomorrow.

Ta2Don · 02-19-2014, 11:49 PM

Congrats! Nice Score...

Still Kicking myself for not getting on the wife's bad side...

Knew I should've checked that one out when I first seen it...

Again, Congrats, and I will be planning a road trip to see ya soon...

dwcardfan · 02-20-2014, 12:05 PM

Love this weather. Here are pics of new cab.

dwcardfan · 02-20-2014, 12:07 PM

A lot less rust.

1963c-10 · 02-20-2014, 12:11 PM

donar cab looks much better

Ta2Don · 02-20-2014, 12:17 PM

Bomp · 02-21-2014, 08:52 AM

Totally diggin the new big window cab.

dwcardfan · 02-22-2014, 08:20 PM

Removed rocker on passenger side. PO had put small patches in the floor corners to coverup a little rust. Decided to replace floor, inner and outer rockers. I had them already.

dwcardfan · 02-25-2014, 06:30 PM

Welded up floor pan today after mocking up rocker and door to make sure it was all lined up. Everything fit very well.

**TJ's Chevy** · 02-25-2014, 09:02 PM

Nice work DW!

Very Nice!!!

dwcardfan · 02-28-2014, 03:47 PM

Thanks TJ and Don. While I had my welder out I stitched up the cab seam.

Jeff La · 03-01-2014, 12:16 AM

Your new cab looks great and repairs are looking good

dwcardfan · 03-01-2014, 01:49 AM

Thanks Jeff. There is still a lot to do but I enjoy going to the shop and working on projects.

siggyfreud · 03-01-2014, 02:30 AM

Looking good! I have the same EFI tank coming in next week. Glad to see it mounts nicely. Any issues with it, or the biggest thing to do is remove/relocate that thin crossmember?
