Built a little trans tunnel and the back half of the floor board. The blue color is rust converter, it turns black after couple hours. Not the best pic

Wow capt, frame looks great and cab is a miracle restoration job. looks like that cab was sittin at the bottom of the ocean. great job on the metal fab you got skills.:metal: Hey question on your front mount on the parralel bars is it just welded on the one bracket? or is braced and just cant see it in the pictures? Oh ya one more question, what did you get the 9" rearend out of. It looks less wide than mine. mine is 65" from outside axle to outside axle.

The 9" is out of an early 80's F@#d truck. I cut it down and got axles from Mosier with the 5 on 4.75 bolt circle. It's around 60" flange to flange, can't remember exactly.

Man I thought I did a lot of rust repair, but it looks like you ended up making your own cab. Great job by the way.

WOW!!! I would imagine this is not your first build. Maybe a welder by trade? Very excellent build so far and really like all the pictures you are providing.

Re: Started With This

It looks like you shaved the drip rail on the cab, any chance you could share some info/pics on that? Thanks for posting the suicide doors, I have been waiting for someone on the forum to do that.;)
