Project: Cab Over

cruisinlows10 · 07-19-2008, 10:14 PM

Front mounts welded in, they will get trimmed more for control arms and will get more bolts other than just the one.

cruisinlows10 · 07-19-2008, 10:16 PM

Dash and inside roof were stripped with a wire brush on a die grinder, then brushed with por metal ready.

slmmedxtrme03 · 07-19-2008, 11:39 PM

sadistic2.2 · 07-20-2008, 12:18 PM

cruisinlows10 · 08-03-2008, 09:09 PM

A small update. Got the seat frame and its supporting under structure removed so that I can start putting in a new floor. Got the drivers side cab corner cut out.

cruisinlows10 · 08-03-2008, 09:11 PM

Yeah its pretty bad. But the good news is, the worst part of the rusted out areas are all available in aftermarket and suprisingly the aftermarket metal fits well. It sat in a junkyard for years with old t shirts and rags in the floorboards so it just held all the water in.

flamesaway · 08-04-2008, 12:51 AM

Sweet project, I'm glad I found this one. I will be watching for sure. Good luck.

That's good though that it has aftermarket panels readily available. Beats the hell out of trying/having to make them yourself.

some poor chap has been under the dash stripping out all the 60 year old sound deadening crap....

cruisinlows10 · 09-06-2008, 09:05 PM

Inner cab corner and door jamb repair is almost done. We just have to push the corner up to the floorboard and weld and then we can weld the outer cab corner on and be done with that area.

cruisinlows10 · 09-06-2008, 09:07 PM

my uncle gave me a nathan p5 airchime. it has a broken mounting hole and I dont quite understand how to hook air up to it.

cruisinlows10 · 09-06-2008, 09:08 PM

I know the air flow goes through that tiny hole in the last picture but what do i need to do to hook it to air line?
