Re: my 1950 project

Did you find the plans on the site for the cab mounting brackets or are you going to buy a kit?

FYI I see your engine has the stamped steel brackets for the accys. I posted my experience with these somewhere on the engine thread, but the jist of it is; the early '90's engines use 2 cast aluminum brackets that are a bolt up replacement for these stamped ones. My power steering pump almost dropped off because of these stamped ones cracking.

Paint scheme....I have a '53 and I'm looking at black fenders and a different body color (yellow or mint green).

Re: my 1950 project

Going to finish all the welding on the cab except the cab corners and the cowl panel this weekend, getting them next month. We are also going to start sandblasting the fenders, bed and maybe some of the cab
