Got the cab back tacked on in a few spots.. don’t quite know if it’s exactly where it should be so leaving it tacked until further progress is made.. re hung the pass side rear door checking gaps... got the rounded piece in the door as well. Got glass window run channel installed and threw the window in to make sure it still works properly..

Kinda at a standstill with the passenger side so onto the real work.. drivers side. Got to working on the B pillar. Man I didn’t realize all the work that would go into this. I don’t think I’m a 1/4 way done yet but satisfied with the work so far.. getting itchy to start the 4th door but patients is key... sorry if the pics are sideways

Took some time away from the cab and decided to restore my k20 hubcaps for this build. First I polished them and removed old paint. Then I taped off the inlays where it should be black. Also taped off the bow tie.. Next was two coats of flat black. Upon the removal of masking tape i finished by painting the bow tie inlay blue. May be a tad dark but should look good in new steel wheels.. overall it took about 12 hours... but worth it in the end

Starting to get chassis ready for new cab. All new lift springs and shackles. Went with a 4” lift. Also completed a shortbed conversion on a longbed. Bed was a little rough but using it for mock up right now at this point I plan on building a new bed with aftermarket parts down the road when paint is near.. for now this will do the trick and I enjoyed doing it. Not welded solid only tacked ever 1/4” or so

Figured since the cab is stout enough to lift again I can start preparing to mount on chassis. Now that I have a shortbed that will help me figure where and how much to add. First I removed the front most bed mount. Then I measured my shortbed k10 frame from center of front bed mount to center of cab mount. I ground rivers off of the rear cab mounts and moved them back according to my k10 measurements... Next would be to measure center to center on cab mounts on crew cab and compare on frame to see how much I need to add. Came out to be 20 3/4” I needed to add. I got doner frame rails from a 1967 c20.. did some cross measuring on frame and a lot of bracing before cutting. Did a simple 6” stair step notch with reinforcement plates on back side. Welded them solid with two plug welds per plate. I also used run off tabs at each flange so I was getting full penn welds by the time I got to frame rail..

With this corona virus going around most the places around here are feeling the effect but my company is still working 10 hours a day. Well spent 10 hours on Monday second guessing my frame lengthing.. So I was on a mission to set the cab on it’s new home. I set the front of cab down first and got both mount bolts in place. Rolled to the back and the rear mount bolts threaded right in barely any effort so my frame modifications were spot on.. Couldn’t be more pleased now it’s starting to look like something. This is where I’m at currently...

Re: 1972 Chevy Crew Cab “Denali”
Hard to take back apart once they look like a truck, but it is very motivating. Looks great. I want one!! Are you going to try to keep the truck roof profile or the burb?

The Truck roof line will look better. You have the material. Just do it like Brandon done it. .
