Making progress on metalwork

I finally got the rear corners done. A little filler should finish this job easily.

I just couldn't bring myself to cut out the entire corner when all that was rusty was the lower 3", and filling the fuel filler hole was no problem

Hopefully finish the floorboard patch tonite and put the cab back on the frame tomorrow.

interesting, is that bolted into the cab? I have a pic in my gallery of one bolted onto the striker posts and hinges. I'm currently designing one that works with 2 8-ton rams like off of a cherry picker. Nice metal work, too. What's the hole in the second pic for? heater?

Now here's a sight I haven't seen in a while


It's been off so long, I almost forgot which way it went back on.

Great progress!!

The Lincoln wheels are cool! I once ran a set of the smooth dish ones on a 66 Plymouth Satallite.
