Forgot the pictures.

**Ol Blue K20** · 12-02-2021, 01:16 PM

Looking good, I can't wait to see it jambed in!

**Dieselwrencher** · 12-02-2021, 01:52 PM

Very nice work! I think those roof patches really take a toll on your shoulders.

**Classic Heartbeat** · 12-02-2021, 04:28 PM

Yes they do. LOL. Here is the last of the metal work needed on the cab. I had to instal the paint devider trim pins seeing how this cab was never two toned.. It's now ready for a little body work and paint.

What did u used to put them on

**Classic Heartbeat** · 12-02-2021, 05:31 PM

I have a stinger that welds pins on the body to pull dents. It also does the little pins for the division bar clips.

Did the same thing on my cab with the same gun. Worked really well but when I started doing the body work and block sanding I found out putting the studs on left low spots around all the studs on the back side of the cab where its flat and more app to warp . Had alot of time fixing it around the studs with filler and high build primer. Glad I'm not doing that again anytime soon.

MikeinNH · 12-07-2021, 05:33 PM

Looking good. I have to do similar metal adding to my core support.

**Dieselwrencher** · 12-03-2021, 07:18 AM

Very nice repair on the core support. Nice work on the trim clip stud install. On a side note, have you ever seen those studs installed incorrectly from the factory? My cab on my orange truck that trim goes down hill from the left to the right. When I stripped it for repaint, the studs looked to be original. I didn't realize it was uneven until I put the bed on the truck after the cab was painted and the trim re installed. Go figure. I just ignore it and my thought was to put an above rail tool box on it to hide it.

**'68OrangeSunshine** · 12-15-2021, 04:50 AM

Man, that Cab is some hep Neo Impressionist art. Like pre-Dali Monet. Don't paint it. Show it at the Guggenheim.

OldCreek · 12-23-2021, 12:22 AM

You are awesome, Wes!

We're all following along with you!

Wil

**Classic Heartbeat** · 01-19-2022, 10:41 PM

Well we sanded the paint of the cab and discovered that the cab must have been a cab that was converted to a motorhome. It looks to have had the center section cut away then replaced by the previous owner.

**Classic Heartbeat** · 01-19-2022, 10:44 PM

more pics

**Classic Heartbeat** · 01-19-2022, 10:47 PM

and finally..

**Ol Blue K20** · 01-20-2022, 09:06 AM

That's a lot of work to strip it. It looks like they did a decent job on the cab repair. Keep at it it's looking good!

I'm doing one right now and arleady tired of it.

Those cab repairs look nicely done. At least it was that way instead of a hacked mess.

**Classic Heartbeat** · 02-27-2022, 03:09 PM

Well I almost got the serpentine belt system installed on Beth's Tribute Truck. A/C pump turned out to be the wrong one. 😑

**Ol Blue K20** · 02-28-2022, 09:38 AM

Sure is pretty!

**Classic Heartbeat** · 03-03-2022, 11:31 PM

Serpentine belt done.

**Ol Blue K20** · 03-04-2022, 10:50 AM

Looks great!

**Dieselwrencher** · 03-04-2022, 10:59 AM

That setup looks very nice!

**Classic Heartbeat** · 03-18-2022, 11:26 PM

It's been a while but, i have made more progress on Beth's Tribute Truck. Cab is bodyworked and in primer, the underside of the cab and bed have lizard skin coating on them for rust protection.

**Classic Heartbeat** · 03-18-2022, 11:28 PM

Last two.
