Finally got the cab back tonight and mounted it on the frame!

It is finally starting to look like a truck again.

bigblock73 · 02-23-2004, 12:34 AM

cab seam welded shut, cargo light shaved.

bigblock73 · 02-23-2004, 12:35 AM

Nope, don't need one...it is stored during the winter.

I may add a Vintage Air heater/defroster down the road...but time will tell.

**swervin ervin** · 02-23-2004, 12:53 AM

Looks great. When do you think it will be running again? Bet you can't wait.

*1FaastC10* · 02-23-2004, 01:01 AM

wow Jeff, its, uhm, yellow.

looks good man, cant wait to see the finished product!

bigblock73 · 02-23-2004, 01:21 AM

Mike, I don't think I will have it running until fall. I need to do brakes, buy tires, get the rest of the body back, wire it, etc etc...I am on the easy parts now...it should go pretty smooth.

Jeremy, I can't wait either!

BaggedC10 · 02-23-2004, 02:19 AM

Looks awesome. The attention to detail is certainly evident.

79BIG10 · 02-23-2004, 04:32 AM

Damn that's looking good Jeff. What kind of seats are those in the background?

phantom dually · 02-23-2004, 08:49 AM

Im going to assume the shadow in the pics around the heater box area is just dust?? Looks great!!

Actually it is water...it started raining slightly when we were bringing it home. I dried it off, but since it is dark in that corner, I must have missed that spot.

Brandon, they are Chevy Vandura seats with an aftermarket center section.

Blue Beard · 02-23-2004, 09:18 AM

That cab looks sanitary........

**N2TRUX** · 02-23-2004, 10:34 AM

Dang Jeff that looks great. You gotta be pumped right now. Maybe this will lessen the pain of selling your Blazer. Now lets see some parts going in place...

Windows will be next, followed by sound insulation wiring, carpet, interior trim, and so forth.

Yes, getting the cab back made me forget all about the Woody. Speaking of that...the deal fell thru for the Wayfarer...so when Chris purchases the 77 I am then going to stick that money into Yeller and get it finished....I am close, but money right now is slowing progress down.

**N2TRUX** · 02-23-2004, 10:41 AM

Well it sounds like things are working out. You can alwys find another old Dodge. Now you can focus on getting your truck back together.
What sound deadener are you going to use?

I am going to get in contact with the company that makes Accumat...and learn a little bit about it. They had a write up in CCT a few months ago, and they used it..so I need to learn more (quality, price, etc). Dynamat is also good, and an option, but it is somewhat expensive.

**N2TRUX** · 02-23-2004, 11:19 AM

Jeff, you might want to read this thread about Sound deadener It changed my mind and saved me money. From what I have read on the B-Quiet website, Brown Bread works as well or better than the other deadener's on the market. Check out the results on their site that was done by a magazine...

Sounds like the story of my life right now.
Progress looks AWESOME Jeff! Keep us posted!

DCRANER · 02-23-2004, 06:35 PM

I am really looking forward to seeing the progress / pics. Impressive seems to be an understatement from what I see so far. I know the hours / dedication for something this, you will be very proud when this truckis done.

Good luck!

Doug
