Cab

Well I disconnected the cab. Found a little more rot. Not more than I thought though. So I had some buddies help me with getting the cab onto the other frame. I couldn't resist just setting the front end on so enjoy the pics. It gives me motivation to keep going even though sometimes it feels like it will never be done.

Got more done than I thought I would

So this morning I woke up a little after 7 to catch the cool morning air and do a little work. Started by putting my front end together.  Mostly its there, I still need to do the steering and sway bar from the other chassis. After that I decided to unhook my motor and take it out of the long bed chassis.  Everything went pretty well until I noticed i hadn't taken off the tin cover on the bell housing of the trans so that was hanging up. After I got that off it was cake. I then had to get it on the other chassis. The problem with that is I have lowered the truck so much that I can't get the engine pullers legs under the front cross member. So I put it in from the back of the chassis, good thing I didn't have the cab on there. I also mated the overdrive tranny with the new motor. 

Tell me what you think, I think it looks Sweet!

Long ways to go though.

Well I guess i am finding a little time.

Well not really that much time, but this morning when I woke up it was nice and cool out so I went out for a few hours and started tearing down what is left of the C20. Which is pretty much a running truck with no bed. I decided since I bought an engine hoist that I wanted to get the motor, even though its not rebuilt yet on the frame with the cab to see what my ride height was really going to be with the 4.5" front and 5" back drop. I need this thing to be level. So if I have to Get some blocks to lower the back then I will know. I also really want to see what it looks like kinda put back together, and I need to get started on the body work on the cab and front clip. It would be nice to paint it next summer. HAAAAH, dreaming.  Anyway I love the look of a truck all tore down. Feels like progress.

 

So what do you think? my cab looks pretty clean eh? I am thinking I should just roll some steel to match and graft it in, but maybe not. I just know that the replacement rockers are thin and crappy anyone know of some real good ones?

Check out my seams!

Got some work done before and I'm finally posting some pics. So just wondering if all of you guys think like I do about my building skills. That I suck at it! Well I guess I am pretty happy (for a change) with the way my seams look so here are a few shots.

Let me know what you think.

Thanks for lookin'
