cab question

I got this cab out of a junk yard to put on my 59. I want to power wash all the dirt and gunk off it but will water pool in the back of the cab brhind the seat and gas tank where it looks like there is a pocket that runs along the back and in the rear cab corners?

Yes it will, if it hasn't already rusted thru there! You can always poke paper towels back down in there to soak it up and maybe a hair dryer to finish the job.

Is there not a body plug back there guy's?
If not would it be that hard to drill a 1 inch hole or so than put a rubber plug in to
drain it from time to time?

No plug that I know of. Truly a catch all spot. Perfect for something like a 6 inch adjustable wrench to slip down into, never to be see again.

Until the cab rusts through and you get all your stuff back.

Also, anyone have a pic of what the entire interior of a small window fridge should look like? I feel like there should be a panel that goes behind the seat and around the window.

I like to squirt a little oil down there. At least it keeps your tools from rusting!

I feel like my interior is missing some kinda cover plate that goes on each side of the rear small window. Cuz it looks like there shouod be a plate covering up the cab structure.

I believe that area is covered with upholstery. You will prolly have to look through the photo gallery's on here to see what others have done.

The headliner covers that curved area on the sides of the back window...but only down to about an inch below the window.

There are pictures of the interior of the cab in my "bodywork" gallery showing what it should look like stock and some changes I made to support shoulder belts in my cab. But the headliner normally covers that area down too about 1-2 inches below the window wrapping around the door pillar.
Good luck with your project and please post pictures.
