Re: TA_C10: Stage 1

I got my cab pulled back off the frame again. Getting it ready for paint!

I've been welding up a few small items and now that I got it upside down to work on the bottom I see how badly these cab corners fit. Huge gaps everywhere.








So tonight I basically just welded everything up. I cut small slivers of sheet to patch these holes and other places I just welded her up. I want this thing air tight to keep water out and lessen road noise and not to mention keep temps stable. Hopefully this won't cause any issues I know some guys say not to weld these areas so water can drain but these were rediculous. I ended up welding my cab corner to rocker seams and cab corner to floor on the underside where the cab corner lip wraps around the floor pan edges. Screw it... It's a daily not a trailer queen...


This is the bottom seam I welded together. This is a shot of my cab corner cut in half when I installed it so it gives a good look at how these reproduction parts fit poorly. I welded the seam the top arrow is pointing to.
