I am in the process of replacing rusted floors at this time. The previous repair attempt was pop riveting new panels over and around existing rust along with lots of bondo. I found a 60 cab with better floors and cab mounts that I am going to swap. The plan is to make a modern driver with independent suspension

I have a 4.6 DOHC that I plan to use if I am successful in saving the cab along with the Mark viii rear.

Looks good! When did you get the cab corners? Did he start reproducing them again because they've been out of them since the mold die broke.

 

A major project that looking good, I`m glad you have way more skill than I do.
When did you buy the cab corners, lately or a long time ago?

 

I believe I bought them in 2016. I was at the Charlotte Auto Fair just down the road so I decided to go pick them up, glad I did it then. I also picked up a fender repair panel that I won't be using if someone needs one, right side.

 

Great progress. The bed looks like its in great shape from the one picture. Wish I had that!
