AZ Help: Cab Trim Pieces
Hi Guys,
This is my first restomod and I have a stack of what look to be trim (windshield, dash, door, etc) pieces and I was wondering if someone had a schematic of what goes where and what needs to be painted etc. The truck is sitting in paint right now but I am worried I might either be missing stuff or don't know what goes where. Any chance I can buy someone a beer or something to bug them to come by and look at these pieces to tell me what they think? Thanks! |

Spend $25 on an factory assembly manual (all over Ebay). It will show where all your stuff goes and all the other stuff you are missing. Also shown gaskets, factory caulking locations, etc.

Re: AZ Help: Cab Trim Pieces
Oh you will use more. Those of us that have them use the assembly manuals all the time but the drawings in there relate more to 54 cabs than 47/53 cabs windshield wise.
Inside moldings are pretty well self explanatory when you lay them out on a table. If you are looking at the outside stainless moldings they should be reasonably easy to figure out too as each one will only go in one spot.

Re: AZ Help: Cab Trim Pieces
I just bit the bullet and ordered that booklet. Hopefully it will shead some light on what pieces go where and what needs to be painted.
ALL of the pieces are prepped for paint. |
