Project "Redemption" 68 SWB Fleetside

[Bennett68C10]

Finally was able to get back on the truck this weekend. Physical therapy is finally done and the knee is a lot better so it's time to start getting some projects done! I pulled the cab off the frame and took out the front and rear windows. The window channels are dam near perfect

I removed the snaps somebody installed around the rear window don't know why they did that but I ended up welding probably around 30-40 holes!

That's a great score on the cab, Keith. I'm envious. Glad you're able to get back to making headway.

Maybe it's time to try and keep your knees off of the hard ground while you are out there.
Maybe some knee pads or something like that.
Awesome truck build.

Thanks fellas, it felt good to be able to finally get some work done on the truck especially since I have a lot of work to do. The cab is in really good shape, it does have a couple of spots that need attention but the outer rockers, inner rockers, floor, cab corners and cab supports are all very solid. I'm not allowed to kneel on my knee for a while so I had a my little pneumatic shop stool in the cab to sit on while I welded up those holes. Didn't leave me much head room but it worked out

I just saw another truck recently exactly like this. They removed the rear window to make a "pass through" for a camper. It was a clear vinyl? "window" that snapped back in place.

...and yeah... you picked up one hell of a nice cab

I had something similar on a square body many years ago, but it used a rubber boot to connect the cab to a sleeper behind it and didn't have a snap in window for keeping out the weather if you removed the sleeper. The unit was just big enough for one person. It was rated for 500 lbs. but I'd have paid money to see two, 250 lb. people get in it.
