I may actually end up selling the cab in this thread. Not too sure yet but I am wanting to find a really clean uncut cab. I thought I had a solid one out back. (it was near perfect 10-15 years ago) I went out there today only to find the rats and mice have pretty much ruined the floor pan. Now, I don't know what to do? |

Re: 1969 Short Wide
Small update: (sorry no pics).
I think I have a game plan for the radiator support. I got the original one all blasted today. I'm thinking of hacking the rust out and replacing it with new metal. It looks pretty straight forward. We'll see. The cab I have been planning to use is pretty much toast. I may end up attempting to re-install a drip rail on this one. It's just metal right

Re: 1969 Short Wide
Great job on the exhaust and getting it running.
I am struggling with the which cab to fix issue too. They all need work but in different areas. It would be nice to find a good or better one to start with but they are pretty hard to come by for a reasonable amount of money.

I feel for you man. I know exactly what you're talking about. I have one that was rust free when I parked it 12-15 years ago. Now it has vent holes all over thanks to those little rodents. I have always kept poisen in it but they eat it up as fast as I put it out.  .

Re: 1969 Short Wide
Time for a small update:
I have been planning this for a while. I spent a few hours this week to fabricate some exhaust pipe mounts out of some scrap stainless I had in my shop. I couldn't find exactly what I was looking for anywhere so I just made them. I also bought THESE and THESE to use with my brackets. I know it seems overkill but I didn't want to use anything but stainless on the exhaust (hope to have $$$ for stainless headers some day). Sorry some are crappy cell pics. I will get some better ones On to the pics: Sawed and shaped the .125" ss sheet stock:   Match drilled all the pieces:  I made some quick and dirty break/bending and forming tools:     Installed:

Re: 1969 Short Wide
Love the hangers.
They make a patch panel for under the battery. I'm sure you will fab your own.

Re: 1969 Short Wide
Man, I need to get my exhaust up into the crossmember like that. I didn't think I'd be going that low with it but I'm starting to think my headers and pipes as they are now will start to become a problem if I go any lower than 4.5 / 6 static.

Re: 1969 Short Wide
Thanks Kyle, I forgot you have sheetmetal gear over there. Sometimes I do this kind of stuff just to see if I can make it work with what I've got....

Re: 1969 Short Wide
what a killer job on the exhaust....i'm way jealous.
On the radiator support, wouldnt it be easier and nicer to just find a clean one to start, i mean OBVIOUSLY you have the mad skills to fix it...it's just clean OEM core supports are pretty plentiful. Tim

Re: 1969 Short Wide
Nice job on the hangers. Try not to feel to bad my core support has way more rust then that. No way I was going to attempt to fix it so I just ordered a new one. Fixing my cab has made me hate rust work lol.
