Looks great, I like your rotisserie setup!!!

[Dave0]

Thanks! Its almost 70 here today, I rolled the cab out and etch primed it to keep it from flashing over.... I dont plan on taking a whole lot of time welding everything but with the humidity it doesnt take long to rust,,,, I dont want to blast it again!

The rotisserie sure made it EASY to prime!

I should get someone with power to move this to the build section, I didnt know there was one until I mistakenly posted in it yesterday...

[Oldtruckwelder]

OK!! Now you are just showing off with the rollers under your rotisserie !!! LOL
But another great idea.
Keep up the good work

Getting rid of 40 plus holes in the firewall and getting steering column hole finished...

Bed floor showed up today too

[Dave0]

What goes under the bed floor where there are no cross pieces?

[youngrodder]

The bed wood looks great. Very unique.

Great build so far. Mind sharing your patina paint procedure?

[Dave0]

Ill see if I can put together some kind of step by step... Its all rustolem

Thanks Kim!

Wow this thread has been hiding in pure sight. Some really great ideas throughout, such as the hidden tie downs which i think I might steal. Fantastic metal work and some great ideas, I'm subscribed!

I just read your tutorial and it explains things very well and makes your truck look just right, Thanks for this. Now, how do I talk my wife into this kind of paint instead of a shiny new paint job.

[Dave0]

Back on it!

Several people asked to see my Trans cooler when mounted, here it is. Made a regular shroud for the engine fan.

[Kim57]

Looks real nice.
Kim

[Dave0]

Floor pans A pillar, cowl pieces, rockers, seat placement, hand made console and 70 plus holes welded up on the firewall!

[Dave0]

Fitting seat belts out of the Kia I robbed the seats out of. I spent a whole day making the reinforcements to "snake" up behind the pillar for strength. I will end up making a cover for the adjustable height mechanism....

Then 16 hours making a 3rd brake light (LED) that looks like it belongs....

[Indian113]

I like that 3rd brake light you did. Keep up the good work

Thank you. 16 hours to make it and a few more hours mounting it and sealing it up! Cool stuff takes time...

I gota bunch more stuff in store for this build

[Kim57]

3rd brake light is very cool.
Kim

[ChuckDriver]

Nice!!

[Dave0]

Thanks Kim, Thanks Chuck!

Rt side action

Fitting amps and electronics under the seats and console. Trying to plan for some rough wiring...

Dave, was just looking back through this thread. Did you run your trans cooling lines through radiator, then trans cooler? Wondering if this approach will cool as effective as mounting trans cooler in front, using radiator fan.

Thanks, Jim
