Re: Brave or crazy? crewcab build

I did get some work done today I figured out how I am going to mount the old air unit without any visible fastners on the firewall. I made a bigger plate that bolts to the unit so I can access the mounting studs that I will weld to the firewall on the inside of cab. I added 3 extra mounting points to add some strength 7 in total.

Re: Brave or crazy? crewcab build

Here are some pics of the truck I parted to build this one, I traded it to my buddy it's basically my old cab and frame he did everthing else good to see him making progress.
He went all out with the poterbuilt extreme setup with the extra frame stiffner. He has been talking about doing a build thread but just hasn't done it yet.

Re: Brave or crazy? crewcab build

I finished up the firewall this is how it will look with no bolts going through the fire wall to mount the a/c unit.

Re: Brave or crazy? crewcab build

Nice work adapting the firewall to the A/C unit.
Are you going to go ahead and round off the firewall at the blower location to match the other side or are you going to leave it stock?

Re: Brave or crazy? crewcab build

Dude you are just killin' it!
This is definitely going to rank up there as one of the most killer custom builds ever.
You will win custom truck awards out the ying yang with this bad boy when it's done.
This is one of the builds I'm on the edge of my seat watching.

Re: Brave or crazy? crewcab build

I have been meaning to ask you for some time now and I always forget.
What did you do to reinforce the floor where you joined the two halves so that it wouldn't potentially sag over time?

Re: Brave or crazy? crewcab build

Great work. One of the things I regret not doing to my firewall was smoothing off the drip rail ledge area on the firewall. When they are finished and welded they look so awesome. Great work on it.

on this one the complete floor is stock suburban and it has 6 cab mounts instead of 4 like a standard cab.

It looks great, it's really starting to come together.
What is your plan for the door glass?
