Great job on the cab restore Keep up the great work

[stephen44]

yes it does - so you'll know my pain ! - why they don't make inner cab corners - I just don't know - if the outers have gone you know the inners have gone too

It seems like this job will never finish - as fast as I think i an nearing the end - I find another bunch of rust.

I decided to this properly and am sanding and blasting every bit of rust off the inside and outside - these '67's are worth saving.

But don't think I don't think - "why didn't I just bomb it with rustoleum"

keep up the good work on yours - I follow your steps with interest too !

then got the frame sand blasted

[stephen44]

tomorrow I will epoxy and the next day - coat in SPI bedliner - stay tuned - you'll all be surprised I think

Chris is still sticking with me - putting in as many hours as me - 2, 10 hour days

[stephen44]

tried lots of different ways to support the frame for painting - my old old back is no good on the ground

came up with this - don't laugh - it will work and I will be able to walk

Looks like your doing a great job.There's lots of work,in doing a frame off. Keep up the good work.

finally some new stuff instead of repairing

got the king pins replaced (metal) and built a dolly for the cab - and finished the welding on the cab - needs some minor body work - but onto the front suspension rebuild next weekend - hopefully - you know how "honey-do" lists can get in the way !
