Chucks Trucks - Another job

Just sorting out all the details on this for a really good customer at the shop.

1948 Cabover made into 4 door using a 52 and the roof from I believe a Volvo

We're going through it to finish details.
Insulate the whole cab, repair steering, pedals, updated the air system, and add air conditioning.





Builder made it out of a 48 COE, 51/51 cab and I believe a Volvo roof skin





























Re configured the pedals so its driveable with 1 foot.








Air system to replace the separate pieces. the driver side valves were leaking and it was much easier to go new than chasing leaks. Interface is much more user friendly too

Yes it's all on a mid-80's C30 chassis
We need to sort out parking brake because the builder put disc brakes on the rear with NO provisions for one...

They make kits supposedly for a 14 bolt 10.5, but not with DRW. Backspacing interferes I guess

Most likely using a driveline disc on the rear but will probably have to fabricate a bracket
