Thanks, I'm starting to burn out on this metal work though. Maybe because it was just hot this weekend, I don't know! Just getting a little frustrated, maybe it's time to jump to a different corner of the cab. You know, change of scenery. :lol:

Well not much accomplished this past long weekend. Spent Saturday helping my brother in law get a small tractor he bought running. Sunday was blown going to my wife's Great Aunt's 100 year birthday party. That was cool. Monday was hot and I spent most of the day wiping sweat out of my eyes...

:lol: Thanks Scott. Sheet metal is not my favorite part but it will get done. As long as I keep a good supply of grinding discs, all can be saved. :jester:

Alright I figured I would post a little better explanation of my madness from last weekend. So I had opened up the lower cowl area where the fresh air vents enter the cab and found a bunch of rust and debris. No big surprise but I needed to deal with it if I want the cab to last another 40 plus...

Small update, I'll post more pics and explanation when I get back to work later this week from the desktop. Been working on the fresh air inlet and blower motor hole and a bunch of rust in the cowl area.

Nice truck. :cheers:

Not gay! :D

Nice truck Dave, the hitch in the bed is technically a goose neck hitch not a Fifth wheel. Just so nobody busts your balls over it. :cheers:

She calls the truck my "girlfriend" :lol:

Weekend update! Got a little more done this weekend, sometimes I feel like I have ADD. There are so many things to do to the cab that I bounce around like crazy! Oh well it all has to get done one way or another! I took out my cross braces that I had installed prior to cutting the rocker...

Thanks brother :cheers:

No offense taken. In reality the cab is still the same, just patch panels to replace the rotted areas, the VIN plate is attached to the B Pillar about a foot up from the rocker panel. That matches the title.. Now, the frame. Yes I am changing everything on the frame EXCEPT the frame rails. They...

Looks like my bumper. :D

:lolup: I wish..

Time for an update: Finally all of my suspension has arrived, it's tough to keep working on the cab knowing that I have the frame to build. :lol: Some of the suspension Rear notch Front dropmember and suspension Trailing arms Inner frame structure and trailing arm mount. Pile of...

He'll be missed, I have always loved hearing his perspective on racing.

$2.33 Diesel, Sunday night when I filled up.

Looks like a solid car for the kid. :thumbs:

Chute! There'll be tuns of NASCAR fans flocking to the theater to see this fine production.

Keep in mind that a front and rear gear change is gonna cost roughly $2K, unless you are equipped to do it yourself.

My advice is get a heavier duty truck if you plan to tow frequently and for longer distances. Hard to beat the torque of a diesel, brand is up to you but have an open mind and drive different brands during your shopping experience. If you do go boosted please upgrade the stock valve springs...

Guys thanks for adding your findings to this thread. It may be an older thread but there is a ton of info that's been shared here. Posted from my iPad via Tapatalk HD.

Sweet, glad to see that you still have it. :cheers:

Stripper pole and heated tail gate. :lol: I have to admit though, that step is nice. :uhoh:
