Well, here's a little progress.
Got the fuel lines done...might lengthen the braided line from the filter to the fuel tube on the motor depending on clearance. Also stabbed myself in the hand with a screwdriver today. Can't remember when I got my last tetnus shot so I'm going to the clinic tomorrow!

Put my MSD starter on it too. Figured out the hole beside it was for the crankshaft position sensor....duh!

Re: "The Ayatollah of Rusty Hole'a 1987 SWB 6.0 4L80E
I stripped the cab & now into rust repair.
I'm going to try to repair this cab and if I screw it up I'll look for a donor later. Not much to say, the cab corners are both gone, the driver's side pan and inner rocker is gone, a couple of rust spots the size of a deck of cards in various spots. Here's the pics; I'm practicing my welding on the pan forst since it is under carpet anyways...I'm leaving about 1/4" overlap to reweld from the underside as well when I flip it over to do the undercab later next week.

Re: "The Ayatollah of Rusty Hole'a 1987 SWB 6.0 4L80E
Wow! Nice work!
I hate to say it, but the frame and motor are so damn nice that I think i would want to start out with a better cab if at all possible. I have seen them rust like that around the windshield and always thought it would be a hard area to fix. How is the firewall area? It's funny i have a cab that is absolutely perfect except for rust along the firewall seam. Posted via Mobile Device |

Quote:
It was parked nose down for a year or two on a very steep driveway before I bought it so I think thats why there was lots of rust due to a leaky windshield. Anyways, things are a bit different up here as most cabs are going to be rusty to some degree --- rust-free 30 year old anything is hard to find!!

More on the cab corners...Yeah I know they will need a trim of 1/2 inch to even them up.
