Exhaust done. Flowmaster 40 series mufflers. Manual cut outs if I want to install electric solenoids.

Looks like garbage.

 

What looks like garbage? Not your truck! It's looking great!

 

I didn't type that! Looks like I left the browser open at work and somebody is trying to be funny

 

Haha...I will admit I am laughing right now....I hope you find em!

 

It's been a while since I posted. I'll try to update as much as possible. Mostly prepping the cab for paint.


Lokar shifter install. Need a taller shifter I think.


Smoothed the firewall



Pulled the tranny. It's getting beefed up


Driver side rear cab corner had me worried. I wanted to cover the stock gas filler hole anyways. So I bought a repo cab corner for my first attempt

 

A little wire wheel, flap disc, rubbing alcohol, and rust sealer, and she outta be good for another 59 years...



Nothing like a little Christmas spirit..

 

The spot welds came out pretty easy, and I was pretty happy with the patch panel. The door edge needed some banging a little bit. And the bead rolled area on the back of cab wasn't the same size. All in all,pretty good fit for my fist time.

Are you doing anything for a cross member at the front cab mount area?

 

For the frame or cab?

 

I have two. Tranny dogbone mount, and the tubing directly behind that.

 

I really wouldn't let the T.C. hang on the flexplate like that.

 

It's bolted to the flex plate. And I took it off right after transmission was moved out of the way

 

Sorry, I should have dug deeper into you build so I wouldn't have had to ask. I'm planning on using a 351W/C6 in my current built and looking for all the info I can find

 

I like the tranny mount because it's adjustable and makes tranny easily removable. Came from shop in phoenix "industrial chassis". Steve is owner
