Dam your truck looks awesome. Seems like skills and nice trucks are just natural in your neighborhood with you and Alan living there.

We finished up the cab dolly last night and mounted the cab to it with lag bolts. It turned out pretty nice and moves around with very little effort.






If all goes well I'll be cutting metal tonight. It's all down hill from here.

Well the cat's outta the bag now. Yes it's true, I finally started getting some work done this weekend.

The first thing I did was to get rid of the old cab. This thing had been a yard ornament for quite some time now.





Here it is 30 minutes later.....






Now it's time to get started on the new cab. Back before I had the cab blasted I removed the cowl and found some rot around the fresh air vents. After it came back from the blaster we could really tell how much damage we had to repair. This area is notorious for collecting leaves and debris. There wasn't much left of the metal that the cowl was spot welded to so I went ahead and removed it.







Next to go was the a-pillar.





Fitting up the floor pan.





Here's the master mulling it over.





For the most part the cab is in really good shape, except for the cowl area and the driver's side cab support. Here I am drilling out what seemed to be 100 spot welds, but there were only 24 or so. (Thanks for the action shot Alan.)





Out with the old and in with the new. Well almost. This is where I stopped for the day.





Stay tuned. It should start getting real fun now.

YEP! You can see where I drew on it, then I cut it out an welded new metal in, isn't perfect but I plan to run some kind of kick panel anyway...

I also have nice rust free covers to install over the outside portion, someone was scrapping a cab so I bought them.

Yeah, I see those marks now. I remember you buying those vent assemblies now that you mention it.

Any progress with your truck lately?

Re: Project - '69 4x4 named "Patches"

Took a little break during the 4th, but we finally jumped back in last night and picked up where we left off.


I finished cutting off the inner rocker and out floor area.





Test fit the new pieces.




Mocked up the outer rocker. At this point I had a pretty big smile on my face. I know I have a long way to go still, but this give me a big boost of motivation. I was ready to hang some doors and shoot some paint.




Mocking up the kick panel and "a" pillar




The area around the fresh air vent was rusted and pitted pretty good, so I cut that piece out as well.



Cutting out the replacement piece for the kick panel area.




At this point it was 11:30 so we called it a night. We only worked about 4 hours, but I'm pretty happy with the progress that we made.

Stay tuned...

Re: Project - '69 4x4 named "Patches"

Nice work Shannon! Glad to see some of us are making progress...Gotta love those patch panels. Curious to see if you have any issues where the front of the rocker meets up with 'A' post-- that curved area that runs up the 'A' post on the inner kick panel

Your rolling chassis came out really nice

I like the way the clamps are painted orange, no mistaken who owns them

Re: Project - '69 4x4 named "Patches"

I got to spend a little time on the truck again last night.

We got the kick panel patch cleaned up and Alan made the new flange bends.




The next area of concern was about half way up the "a" pillar where there was some pitting and rust. The bad piece was removed and Alan went to town fabbing up a new piece.





Alan making it happen.





The new piece.





And it fits......





The new kick panel patch was installed next.






We called it a night shortly after this. Stay tuned we're on a roll now.

There may be some truth to that. Nah, Alan would set me straight before I totally flubbed something up.
