Great work on the cab. Awesome concept also with the company trucks!

Re: Company Trucks
 

The bead roller is just a harbor freight unit. I added some stiffeners to it to help with heavier gauge material.

Just read another thread about the HF bead roller, on another board.

Poor quality I assume? They mentioned needing to beef up the design.

Re: Company Trucks
 

69CST-V, You can not complain for the cost on it. I have read that you just have to brace them up some. Great job.

Re: Company Trucks
 

WOW,too much work for me !

Re: Company Trucks
 

nice work so far, but i think your cheating with the overhead crane :D
you'd think the patch panels would fit better, i had to work every piece some what.
some times i'd ask my self, ''what were they thinking?"

i've used and modified the hf bead rollers too, yours is lacking a motor...
how do you like that throatless shear? where did you get that?

Re: Company Trucks
 

I'd like to see how you did the motor option. The shear is from Eastwood and it works well. I had to do some work adjusting it but once that was done it makes quick work of trimming and rough cut work.

Re: Company Trucks
 

Well I got a little shop time today. Started working on getting the sub floor mocked up. I'm missing one rear cab mount bracket to be able to weld the skin to it.

Re: Company Trucks
 

Also built the second cab stand. The second cab should be back here this week.

Re: Company Trucks

Re: Company Trucks

Re: Company Trucks
 

Well I hope everyone had a good Christmas. I've been traveling for work and doing the holiday thing so the updates haven't been as happening. I have done a few things iso I will try to post those up. So after the new year hopefully I can get back on it again. Hope everyone has a safe and Happy New Year.

Re: Company Trucks

nice work looking forward to your progress

Re: Company Trucks
 

Projects look GREAT! Where's the updates? I'm about 60 miles down the road if you need anything.

Re: Company Trucks
 

Lol, I was thinking the same thing Jim.
This is the first time I've seen your build. Your definitely not afraid to dig in and do it right. I can appreciate how much work it takes to do the work right no matter how many times you might have to refine your repairs. It takes a little longer but it sure feels great at the end of the day to know you have some solid repairs. Awesome work.

Scott, thanks for the kind words, looking forward to more of yours...Jim

Re: Company Trucks
 

Thanks Scott. I've spent most of the first half of this year out of the country. I returned in late April bought a new house and am in the middle of redoing the shop. Can't wait to back to work on these. I have lots of updates just need time to transfer them on to the site.

Re: Company Trucks
 

About half done with the inside. Need to re-work the truss's to get an elevated clear span for the jib crane and lift. Some before and after pic's to where I'm at as of today.
