I know this is a super old (in internet and forums terms) post, but dang that is one of the nicest panels I have ever seen, and I have seen a lot. Congrats on that.

Today I installed the rally wheels that I painted yesterday, replaced a warped pully on the crank, and tried to isolate where a vibration was coming from in teh motor (hence the pully replacement). I also swapped the carb.

Parked it for winter.

I went to The Truck Shop in Orange , Ca. and bought over $2,000 worth of bits and bobs for the new cab ~ there's so much more to get yet .

I also ordered up all new MOOG ball joints and tie rod ends....

Notice the complete separation of the floor and toe board ! this is why I had to replace the cab ~ whenever I went around a corner , the floor remained still but the cab shifted 1/2" or more ~ UN SAFE ! .

73737373 · 11-13-2014, 11:42 AM

Never seen one do that.... come to Oklahoma and get one of my cabs!!

Still wondering ?

A reminder :

FREE CAB with good rust free roof and corners , in Gardena , Ca.

Come get it fast before they cut it up .

Dash is good and uncut too , everything else is trash .

You'll need a trailer and helping hands ~ this is a working Paint Shop and they don't have time to screw with old junk .

bkkstehlik · 11-13-2014, 06:25 PM

Bought a new used bumper. Sanded down the black paint and took off the rust in back. Removed the tow ball and put plugs in the holes. New paint and a serious polish and the chrome looks Great! Looks as good as new, $60 bucks.
