There looks like one spot that it is rusted through, but not a large area, most of it looks to be surface rust. I am stripping it because it leaks water everywhere, wanting to fix that. And I have had the truck 2 1/2 years and it is time to redo it.

We miss you too!!....Need to bring the burnout machine to K-town when you get it going again!!

bobbo · 01-13-2011, 02:28 PM

Will definitely look into that. Going to need a good drive to test things out.

72BlckButy · 01-13-2011, 10:10 PM

Nice progress bobbo!

bobbo · 01-13-2011, 10:50 PM

Thanks Nate, you need to get down here and do dinner again!

bobbo · 01-16-2011, 07:18 PM

Some more work yesterday and today, here's the pics from yesterday. Grinding and cutting.

bobbo · 01-16-2011, 07:19 PM

Couple more...

72BlckButy · 01-16-2011, 07:21 PM

Lookin' good bobbo!

Cyclone44 · 01-16-2011, 08:15 PM

Why did you take the dash out?.....Are you putting a different one in?.....Or just to access some bad spots?.....Looking good.....looks like a solid cab!....

bobbo · 01-16-2011, 09:21 PM

Dash came out to fix some rust under the dash area and clean up the ends of the dash, they are pretty rusty. Other than the common minor rust, it is in very good condition. I am very happy with it.

72BlckButy · 01-16-2011, 09:24 PM

Missed the dinner comment above bobbo... that's a definite. I'll keep you posted if I'm in the area again.

He's been telling me that for years! Sometimes I think he doesn't want to hang out with us funny lookin' southern Missouri boys!

bobbo · 01-18-2011, 08:28 AM

Of course I want to hang with you all, you make me look good!

bobbo · 01-18-2011, 08:59 AM

Removed the front springs last night. Wanting to get an idea how low it sits and how much lower I need to go.

Definitely needing some drop spindles and a c-notch. Looks like it's time to roll her outside to clean the garage.

**Dieselwrencher** · 01-18-2011, 12:46 PM

Bobbo, if you're interested, I think Mathew has a complete a/c dash he's trying to sell pretty cheap. It would look good in your cab.

jce4isu · 01-18-2011, 12:52 PM

looking good as soon as you are done with your truck i will get mine over to you so you can get mine done

But then I have to buy all the a/c stuff.

Floor vents and open windows works for me for now.

I have been hearing that from quite a few people. How about you all fund mine and I will let you drive it when it's done.

No you don't. Just put the a/c vents in the holes and use your old heater stuff. Then someday when you decide you want a/c, the dash is already installed. You won't have to jack with it.

bobbo · 01-18-2011, 01:10 PM

Hrmm. Quit giving me ideas!

Not a bad thought though. Have a link for his thread with the dash?

**Dieselwrencher** · 01-18-2011, 01:13 PM

I'll see if I can find it for you.
