make sure to put some sort of seam sealer on all those weld seams, -both sides, otherwise the moisture will creep in and start re-rusting it.

Barebones66 · 02-08-2009, 09:31 AM

Awesome job man ! Very cool

62 short step · 02-08-2009, 10:40 AM

Cool project BTW.....

Did some work to the cab.

Made a face plate for his stereo and toggle switches out of some diamond plate.

The stereo goes all the way in.....we were in the process of wiring it at the time.

We also used security screw that takes a special tool to remove it to deter the thiefs.

Hopefully, I can just flip the plate upside down and the stereo will fit.

Joey~AP · 03-23-2009, 12:30 PM

The driver side door had 2 speaker holes cut in it and the passanger door had 1 hole cut in it.

This is what I came up with.....
