Randy, I don't think you did post it and I would like to see it as well.

Its super easy and is almost identical to the passenger side after cutting and rewelding. Do you remember if I posted about it?
Basically I cut the pillar in about 5 sections and flipped them over and to the left then rewelded them together, the 5 sections are all straight when cut and then when flipped they make a mirror image.
Inside the B pillar is a hing reinforcing plate, I did the same with it but cut it in 3 section I think.
The hinges I just flipped over and drilled one new hole on the door side to match my million piece door.

If I didn't post about it, I can do it and number the sections with pictures.
The upper half (door frame section) of the B pillar I just used as is, the seam is in the front vs the rear on the other side.

Just ask if you have any questions about what I did or what I might have done differently.

Sounds like you have a great plan and a good start.

Randy
Thanks for that info.
I studied your build extensively
for quite awhile.
I don't remember those details
in your build.
I have a back log of pics now of stuff
That I have been mocking up.
So I can understand how it wasn't.
I can almost picture the reverse flip now.
But like they say your pics would be worth a million words.
Thanks
Dwayne

I'm almost positive I didn't post it, I will take some pics and number the pieces with a marker and post up on my thread, I will try to do that this weekend.

Thanks Randy
That will help A lot.
I'm Going to start working on a jig
this weekend for those letters on the hood .
It is going to be a coin toss for me
when it comes time to put the hood on.
Do I use Original hood or Hood Scoop Repop :metal:?
So I could use the jig if I go that route.
I already have some angles and (Ruff) blueprints drew up.

I guess i will order the hood letters then, looks like i will need them soon...

Re: 67 (Crew Cab) C30
 
The center jig is the (time consuming one).
Once the holes are drilled in the center with this jig the two side jigs will line up. The side jigs are Simple.

I got some time to work on bracing the cab
for replacing the whole floor.
I made brackets to utilize the bolt holes for dash
and gas tank mounting bolt holes.

I drove to Cleveland ,Tn. today and
purchased a Coach Controls Coupe23B long
wiring package. Thanks to member halfstep
for bringing this business to my attention.
Met with the owner of the company.
(He has exp. with NASA,Race cars, Old cars and etc.)
Spoke with him about my build and talked about
the package that would be best for my Build.
For the people that are staying (Factory-Style)
there is other company's that have options
that are more suited for that type of build.
Maybe my next build will be more (original).
I have been studying the wiring of our trucks.
I even made a big copy of wiring diagram
that is saved in the FAQ .
(3rd picture at the bottom.)
He was impressed when I explained to him
how easy it was to find this type of info and
the knowledge base of this Forum.
When He showed his Wiring Schematic
I knew that was a good plan for my Build.
(1st picture is front & 2nd is the back )
This wiring diagram is the layout of his kit.
It is very easy to understand.
I wanted this kit now so I can build
my cab to pick the best location.

A little update.
These are pictures of Us working on getting the old
floor-pan removed.
My Hired hand was in the Middle of Things.
She will show up in the next post.

This is where I marked out maximum
to cut for cab corner patches.

Yeah she is getting big.
Right now I am working towards making the piece
between the cab corners.
I bought a bead roller.
Now I just need to order my sheet-metal.
Once I get it made and welded in.
I will put the floor pan in then replace the gas tank brackets.
Got some brackets in good condition from a board member.

There was 6 spot welds on drivers side :lol:

I center punched from the bottom to locate the position
for hole to be drilled in the front center bolt.
The weld nut is there for these bolts on both L/R side.

Next is a repeat on driver side.
Well maybe a little different.
The hole to be drilled in picture below (the red circle with the dot)

Not so great of a picture.
The driver-side I had to drill the bottom inside hole in the floor brace.

Attachment 1911998
the Drivers side was already there.
Neither of these Inside holes have weld nuts.
That's not a big deal thou.
