Re: 49' Patina bagged in PA

2-22 Well my first and only child is turning one in about 2 hours from now, very exciting. Todays work went ok, still dealing with pathetic water leaks in my garage, I spent almost 2 hours shoveling ice and water off my roof, then shop vaccing my garage. It dont look like much progress today. I put another patch in on the cab, where the heater hoses go, I'll have to drill out the stock hole still. I cut out the original cab mount washer and rewelded it back in to my floor. This side I custom made the mount underneath, there is no stock cab mount member under this area. I sprayed the floor with some rustconverter primer, so it won't flash rust. I'll be seam sealing all the welds and sealing all the metal with epoxy or por15 etc.

Finally got two outta four cab mounts made up. I used about 1.5 cutoff wheels to cut these and the top plates out. I spent some time realigning my cab again as it moved while I was working on it. So I go that final and tacked some temp braces in the back and in the front, I got these two mounts in. I went with 3.5" off frame, that includes the 1.5" thick bushing. I used the HF hole saw bits and I have to say, not bad so far.
