Before /After

 

That would make for an exciting day! Nice red too.

Hope to start a little body work this weekend and maybe eventually end up in the same place.

 

Really nice David .. Where did you source your cab mount brackets or did you rebuild yours ?

 

Hey RR ,yea rear cross members ,I just ordered som 3x5 tube,going to rip them down.I think that will do real well.Like you said,also able to put the brace of t/c into tube cross member.I like you,am a carpenter,,,,a good friend who paints bought an old farm house.Floors way out ,removed joist entire side of house made level floor.He painted my truck.Some other goodies
at his location.Lenny on the left,that owns the farm house,and the young Man who painted my truck.A time to Celebrate!

 

Oh man, that looks nice, make me jealous.
Yeah, nice shade of red too .

 

Thanks Mike,ford CARM 2008 mustang

 

Hey RR,sorta thought you might want to know about my cab mounts.I had to replace drivers side.Got them from flash back 100,made in USA steel real nice.skip if that wasnt what you meant.

 

yes David that is exactly what I was asking about , Thanks .. Found the 2 rear spring perches I needed for the back .. OEM NOS on craigslist for $75 was happy about that .. havn't decided what I'm doing up front yet .. Doing all my welding before I have it sand basted .. Was just happy to find a good solid 76 highboy rolling chassis with a title .. I had only the 2 rear spring perches, one drivers side cab mount like you , and one hole for the core support to be concerned about .. I have the 68 galaxie 390 and a built C-6 ready to go for it .. The plan is to get the rolling chassis completed by winter and indoors so I can work on the sheet metel then .. Yours is really looking good and keeping me motivated Looks like you got quite a crew there to help you celebrate the new cab

 

If your looking for parts for that chassie let me know ,I might have something you need

 

Thanks I really appreciate that .. Also let me know if you need anything also I have lots of extra parts too ..

 

Nice and congrats on the paint job. I know a few old boys around here that'd put a 5K paint job to shame that work out of a few different shacks on an old field property...low over head and proper tools and paint booth makes for a cheap paint job.................now I gotta stop doing stuff around the house and get on my truck again....it's been sitting neglected for way to long.

 

Cab came out really nice. Are the fenders, hood, and box already done? I bet your anxious to start assembly. Nothing like a fresh paint job to to spike the motivation meter.

 

yes hickory everything is done,and covered,still waiting for motor from machinist,,,and then that placement.Shooting for the 40th aniversary of this highboy

 

Nice teaser...

I try not to look at these build threads until like 65 pages, lol.

....i get anxious.

If the rest of your truck looks that good, maybe i will have to stop by.
Very excited for you.

 

Thanks Jklnhyd slow process,takes years...one peice at a time..at least for me,,been in my barn for 20 + years
