[68 Quad C10]

thanks everyone just on another note i have changed my plans this truck is going to be on the ground.... i plan on stripping the yukon this next weekend and getting the roof out of it so i can put it in this month

[67chevy1series]

any more progress and pics at first gotta be honest didnt like it but now i see the way you did the windows pretty cool

[68 Quad C10]

this part takes a while due to the amount of welding and the time it takes to avoid warping but here are some more progress pics sure is taking shape now i have some areas to work along the top still before i start welding in the roof out of the yukon but i have to get the side structure sound first soon i will be moving to the other side this side is comeing along you will notice that i started placing the rod for the drip rail in and working it down the side as i shape it it will blend in to the body lines..... i also will be rounding the top front corner of the front doors so it rolls with the rest of the truck not a lot just enough to relieve the sharp corner you can see that i started to do this but it still needs a little more work its just not what i want yet.... comments are great and i hope you are enjoying my build

Looking good. You're putting more work into this side of the cab than I'm doing to my whole truck. Just curious, is this for a customer or for your own use?

yeah it has some nice wide low profile ribs that will give it the lower look and break up the flat surface of the top so its not so long and flat looking just a little eye candy i guess plus i am using all the intereior etc... from the yukon cause it is a nice style and looks good except for the dash i will be doing a custom dash and console

[67cheby]

i guess the ribs take a lot of flex out of an area that big also, cool

thanks.... i just wish i could get back working on it just so many other items keep flooding in so it is pushed to its corner for a bit... don't want to complain to much about the work though it is keeping me on top of things due to my lack of work at the job subscribed to your build and it is gettting there can't wait till i am down to body work and paint

what type of bed are you going to use a lwb or a swb ,fleet or stepper you will be happy that you didnt make the rear doors smaller like a suburban becauce the back will now have the same room as the front

it will have a short fleet side... i hear you on the lack of room in the back seat this will have plenty of room i do like the way it will layout

[67chevy1series]

well my dad said that when you do a crew cab that you need a bed that is the same length as the cab maybe you should make your own mwb bed measure your cab and cut a lwb fleet to the same size as the caqb that way it is evenly proportioned you have the fab skills for it oh well thats just my two cents wati tell you put seats in the frot and back and look at all your hard work

I have also thought of that and may take that advise thanks its greatly appreciated i can't wait till i can sit in it and turn the key over but that is a ways down the road. i may do a mock up to see about the bed when its time to work on it.
