Todays work update!
If you look in my gallery for cab you will see where im at now. I have the replacement rocker in with the floor section that was bad done. Still have final welding to do as well as a small patch on the firewall. I all so cut out the bottom hinge pocket and triangle gusset inside. All and all things went smooth. This has been the toughest part yet for me. LOTS OF MEASUREMENTS!!!!!!!!!! CHECK AND CHECK! One point i was a little scared but i thought about it and came up with a plan. The pass side front door hinge pillar was hit and pushed in a bit. I had to tweek abit. Take a look and tell me what you all think! Im always looking for words of wisdom! Thanks !!

That is some excellent work, I wish I had the equipment and skills to do those repairs on my cab. Speaking of P.O. repairs this is how my '53 is "repaired" that plate is bolted through the lower hinge bucket and is resting on what is left of the front cab mount. It is the same on the drivers side

Patience young grasshopper. Between 9:54 PM and 8:19 AM most were snoozing. The comments will come as folks come in from work and other family duties. I just got back from a car buying spree down in southern Colorado. Lokks like I now will be doing some floor work too.
It looks like you are making good progress since our last phone conversation. The pics are looking good too Roger.
