Hey guys. I have been working on removing the rust from my 57 F100 cab. I have already replaced 90% of the cab floor, the step area on both sides as well as both inner and outer cab corners. Today I started working on the part of the cab where the water from the cowl drains out and the air is sucked into for the cab(not sure what is is called) Anyways once I cut open the part i found lots of rust and holes inside. At some point the drain was probably clogged up and the moisture ate the cab. It is going to be a much bigger repair than I though.

I am just curious what others are going through with their 57-60 cab. If anybody has any pictures of their repair of the part I am working on right now that would be great.

 

Not exactly sure what you are looking for, here are a few finished shots:

 

wish mine was done, its still a pile of metal in the corner of shed..

Walston....nice cab.
Ihave been contemplating painting my next cab on the frame....sitting a 6 inches above the rails with masking under it.
This is because I am by myself....and last 3 cabs always got scratched somewhere.
My 57 is in red-oxide primer and will weld some corners soon. but it is a solid ole truck and really only repair it needs.

 

Walston, you've done a wonderful job on your truck, a real show piece.
I believe 1957F100 is talking about under the window cowling

 

check out my gallery for some rust shots of my floor but my cowl area was fine so i can't help you their.
