After almost 4 years of jumping through hoops the cab is almost done...

and it even appears to be the right color this time

cduster · 12-11-2004, 11:39 PM

Sweet. Lots of nice mods, and a great color to boot. Nicely done.

**lolife99** · 12-11-2004, 11:41 PM

Beautiful!

big blue 72 · 12-11-2004, 11:44 PM

like the back of the cab. Smooth as glass.

shortymac83 · 12-11-2004, 11:50 PM

I can only hope that mine is going to be that slick by the time I'm done...

*Randy70C-10* · 12-11-2004, 11:53 PM

Holy sh!t! That's sweet Kenneth! I have a bad memory, did Tony do that?

Yeah the first time. I'm pretty sure he don't want to re-live that again though....

*dtlilly* · 12-12-2004, 06:24 PM

Ken, that is turning out to be sweet. Glad you found a real body man this time, instead of the hack that lied to the board about how good he is.

Longhorn Man · 12-11-2004, 11:58 PM

oh man... I know you didn't just mention tony!

XXL...some one painted over the holes in the dash for all the heater and radio and glove box!!
Lookin pretty sweet. I remember all teh BS you went through with numb nuts. Glad it's gettin done properly now. (and much quicker I might add)

**Yukon Jack** · 12-11-2004, 11:59 PM

Sweet buddy! Can't wait to see it in person.

silvertonguedevil · 12-12-2004, 12:08 AM

Great Progress,looks like you are doing it right..way to go..

FuelCellGuy · 12-12-2004, 12:12 AM

WOW!!! That looks great!!! It is about time!! Later, FCG

Vince Putt · 12-12-2004, 12:12 AM

Wow That is sweet. I noticed the front wheelwells enter the cab floor. You slamming it to the ground? Did you section an entire new sheet panel into the back of cab? Lets see some more detail pics of these mods

Brainchild · 12-12-2004, 01:17 AM

Looks great,I am curious as to what your plans are for the dash.

Staceydude · 12-12-2004, 01:51 AM

What paint are you using and what is the paint code?

My worry about going with blue is making sure the color looks just right as there seems to be so many shades or variations around. This is the shade of blue I am looking for.

Do you have the code and manufacture of paint?

Looks outstanding so far.

Regards,

Stacey

**FRENCHBLUE72** · 12-12-2004, 10:39 AM

Damn it looks killer glad to see it getting done right after all the b.s. you had to go through..

yup

how come you filled most the holes under the dash pad but not all of them?
also do you have a pick of the back wall from the inside? is it ribbed or smooth?

Holes under dashpad are still there to accommodate a dash pad going back on. The ones that are "missing" may just be skinned over. They'll all be hidden... in fact, the dash is actually supposed to be done in gray vinyl. The guy that squirted it didn't think about that at the time so it got colored too.

I don't have any inside back of cab shots handy but it is ribbed (for per pleasure?

). The outside has been skinned with a sheet of steel. We left the ribs in place to keep the back wall rigid.

rolson1039 · 12-12-2004, 01:05 PM

man i love that!! looks great!! nice to see its all coming together for you best of luck kenny!!

Peregrine · 12-12-2004, 01:07 PM

Looks awesome. When you take it outside, I'd stand next to it with a shotgun and look for birds.

JayDubBlazer · 12-12-2004, 07:05 PM

That is silky smooth, looks super clean and the dash is going to look awesome. Good to know you are getting it done I remember reading about all the crap u went through the first time.

jc · 12-12-2004, 08:15 PM
