GobbleStalker · 08-06-2014, 10:49 AM

Installing my original uncut dash into my new donor cab.

GobbleStalker · 08-06-2014, 10:53 AM

Now cab panel replacemment and vintage air plates welding begins. Pounding out dents and getting the cab ready for primer. Future owner of the truck inspecting the work.

GobbleStalker · 08-06-2014, 10:58 AM

Cab is now in primer and ready for block sanding before painting the firewall and floor.

mcbassin · 08-06-2014, 11:03 AM

That chassis and engine are works of art! Excellent progress on the cab too.

GobbleStalker · 08-07-2014, 10:58 AM

Paint looks incredible!

71' Custom · 08-07-2014, 01:02 PM

Wow! Very nice build! Sub'd

GobbleStalker · 08-07-2014, 02:09 PM

Not the best picture but the new posi pumpkin with 3:42 gears gets stuffed into the housing.

Xeen · 08-07-2014, 02:46 PM

Nice job on the old girl.
Have you been able to find headers that will clear the CPP tubular engine stands?
If you haven't started looking into it yet trust me you don't even want to mess with it I have a better solution.

Yes I am using Sanderson shorties. They fit great.

GobbleStalker · 08-08-2014, 11:22 AM

Now that the outside firewall and floor are painted the cab meets the frame and the doors get fitted back on.

GobbleStalker · 08-08-2014, 11:27 AM

The truck was a steel floor but I am now converting it to a wood floor bed. Did a mock up bolting of the box and then give it a test fit. Starting to look like a truck again after almost 2 years.
