Next up on the block!
Hey guys, So I've been on the 67-72 side for a few years and just recently finished up a square 2wd blazer. I sold it over the weekend and went and picked up a 1978 c20 crew cab dually! Super stoked about this one, Its been recently swapped with a 92 12v cummins. Ill attach some pics and try to get going on the teardown and build soon. Got another project to finish before this one gets too involved....

Re: Next up on the block!
I was tasked with updating this f100 about 30 years as far as suspension and drivetrain. I didn't paint this one as it was painted when the customer bought it. Installed a mustang 2 in the front and a 4 link in the rear. Did coilovers in the rear as well as disk brakes. Installed a 2015 lt1 and 6l80 trans, the same setup thats in my c10. Waiting on the coil springs for the front as its too low at the moment, then a few miles of driving and it goes home......

Re: Next up on the block!
Sucks about the cab rust. Looks like a decent starting point though.

Re: Next up on the block!
I located a rust free cab, mine needs rockers and cab corners at least. Got a good price on it, with 4 great doors. Now i gotta figure out how to load it on a trailer!

Re: Next up on the block!
I did upgrade the dash though. None of the gauges were hooked up or working when i bought it and rather than chasing that mess i swapped them over to Dakota Digital. Have them in my c10 as well and love em. Used an autometer diesel tach adapter as well to get that going.

Re: Next up on the block!
slowly starting to work on this dude, I ended up buying a second cab that has zero rust as the one on the truck has plenty! Ive started working it over in the last couple of days smoothing and cleaning up the firewall. Not going completely smooth on this one just alot cleaner. Shaved the heater area as I'm installing vintage air.

Re: Next up on the block!
also dropped it down a bit more. I wanna bag this one too, but I'm currently cash stashing for vacation so truck funds aren't great! They'll have to wait till after vacation

Re: Next up on the block!
I have a couple dumb questions if you don't mind. The passenger side where you installed the flat panel, was that directly over what was already there, or did you cut out the old stuff first? If you installed the panel without cutting the old part out, how were you able to smooth the "step" from the new panel to the existing firewall on the driver's side? Thank you.

Re: Next up on the block!
well, heres a sneak peak at the color. I got the firewall painted tonight. Next step is to pull the doors off and prep the jambs and dash. Also gonna spray the floor with lizard skin.
