Tires are sticking out a bit....guess I will either have to widen my fenders or buy the 3" wider fenders...decisions decisions lol

 

Removed a lot of cancer from the lower part of the cab. Currently have welded in 3 of the lower door jams. They all required some reworking. I still have to finish weld all of them and a little more reworking. I also fabbed up a patch for the bottom of 1 of the triangle supports. Next will be patching the lower firewall then I can reinstall the triangle and start putting the rocker panels and inner cab corners back in

 

Be sure to check your door gaps before you finish your hinge buckets permanently....


When I put mine on, the buckets were nearly 1/4" out from the factory position. Had to drill the spot welds, and relocate them.


Ended up widening the hole, and the filling the other side of it.....

 

Thanks for the advice

 

Patched a small section in the firewall today and installed one of the rocker panels.

Also played around with dressing up my valve cover...what do you guys think

 

Not bad! You can get a smaller ford scroll like they use on the tail lights too?

 

Nice work. I'm working the exact same cab issues you are. Replaced all four corners and rockers, made new triangle braces and inner fender braces, door pockets, lower back cab panel. Making the floor pan next and the dimmer bucket. Everyone said throw that cab away and get a better one but I guess I'm hard headed. Takes more time but it will pay off in skills acquired.

 

I agree. I will definitely have a lot of pride in the cab when it's done

 

Parts came back from being powder coated so I assembled the fronto sheet metal.

Been slowly plugging away at the cab. Currently working on fitting the floor panels. I still have some tweaking to do before I start welding the panels in place.
