I went over and took a look at it and it feels like a well built little saw. The blades are similar to scroll saw blades so it's probably pretty easy to guide and maneuver.

joe231 · 10-04-2009, 06:29 PM

you guys see the pics now?

*highperf4x4* · 10-04-2009, 08:47 PM

what you want us to go back a page and look?

joe231 · 10-04-2009, 09:43 PM

you need to change your settings... I have mine set to 40 posts per page

*highperf4x4* · 10-04-2009, 10:29 PM

you know how long it would take my scroll wheel to get up and down that page????

menace121978 · 10-04-2009, 10:36 PM

do you know how long it would take my slow @ss computer to load up 40 posts per page!!

wait a minute..........................

lets have a pic of the driver's side of the cab!!!!!!!

I've got a sneaky suspicion......

joe231 · 10-05-2009, 12:23 AM

had to make a small patch for the inner corner, much easier than the passenger side..

this corner fought me harder than the other, maybe because I replaced more metal....I used 3 self-tapping drill point screws to bend it to my will.

The corners needed quite a bit of tweaking, they were more rounded, where the stock cab had a much crisper square corner. I will need to work the joint with a hammer and dolly some before I skim coat it.

I taped it off and rattle canned some red-oxide primer on the back of the cab....

I didn't get a good drivers side shot due to the dark...

Well you were certainly busy. Excellent work bro!

joe231 · 10-05-2009, 12:51 AM

Thanks man!....it is certainly time consuming, but i think I will get faster at it the more I do...I got plenty to do on the '66, then John's bed patches whenever he is ready, and yours when you are ready....hell I could become experienced in no time

that reminds me, I gotta get my gas refilled to, I think I will need a bigger bottle soon

*highperf4x4* · 10-05-2009, 01:20 AM

right on!

I need to start ordering some pieces. As I was under the truck tonight I noticed that pretty much all of the cab supports are rotted.

joe231 · 10-05-2009, 01:21 AM

I told you not to look too hard or you will find more

*highperf4x4* · 10-05-2009, 01:24 AM

you didn't say it loud enough

joe231 · 10-05-2009, 01:39 AM

JohnC · 10-05-2009, 08:50 AM

Your doing a great job Joe. Hey did you get that good looking gas tank on there yet?

Yeah you will need some of the anti-squeak pads too. When I took them off they just fell apart. Never got around to ordering new ones.

joe231 · 10-05-2009, 10:37 AM

Yeah, I wonder about using some thin gasket material....
