1974 crew cab on a reg cab highboy frame
Well I've reading and collecting information and parts for some time now and am now ready to start my truck. I have a 74 2wd crew cab short box and a 74 4wd reg cab highboy that I'm going to be mashing into one with a super short box. Today I picked up a 79 rad support and inner fenders that I'm going to be getting powder coated black. The cab of the 79 was crushed in a roll over but the floor pans and cab mounts are still mint. So I'm going to be using the lower half of the cab in my crew cab. So things are coming together good so far.

With a Cnc plasma there is no doubt that this thing will be legit!
Looking forward to seeing the progress

So tonight I figured out my measurements for the box and cut it up. Once it was all apart I found the top rail of the front box panel was bent from years or abuse so I cut it off as well and am having a guy make a new one out of thicker gauge material tomorrow. Then I can start welding the box back together at the proper dimensions.
You can see why I needed a new rad support and why I'm not using the cab
Here things are measured and ready for cuts
