I haven't had a problem with flexing in that area. My only problem is with the gap on the top of the front drivers side & rear passengers doors. Not much of a problem but still needs to be addressed.

Been back at it the last few days. Got the space between the windows filled. Used 1'' square tube to make a frame, & skinned it with 14ga. sheet material. Put the outside handles put back on & capped the pillar between the doors. Bent those up the same way as the floor pans & then cut down to...

Ok so the bottom half of the cab is mostly done for the bigger stuff. Still got a bunch of detail stuff to do. But I got the seats in, ended up just welding them in after discovering that the supports on the seats are the exact width to go through the edge of the floor supports. Who woulda...

I use the stock location with mrap wheels. Had cut the lip off the end of the tool box & make spacers to go between the wheel & the spare mount. Haven't been happy with it & the cable brook the other day. I'll be moving things elsewhere soon.

Not a problem. Happy to help. Finally found the pictures of my el cheapo Lds-465-1a that I hope to go through & install someday. Been sitting a while but I did get to see a video of it running the seller made just prior to pulling it. Still looking for a steering box for it. Any one got an...

I cut the front cab 1 inch behind the front door & 1 inch in front of the back door. There is 6 inches between the doors. I cut the floor were it starts to angles upwards in the front. I cut roughly 10-13 inches off of the floor supports. Over all I added right at 40 inches with the rear cab.

It is right now. The seat I'd a few inches higher in the picture than it will be once installed. The seat frame still has the locking mechanism to hook into the van floor. This make it sit about 4 inches higher. Already cut those off the back seat & tested it up front, it fit nice & comfy for...

Got some new seats today. Two matching bench seats out of a 05 full size dodge van. Will bolt in nicely once I cut off the stock latches & weld on some brackets. The interior sheet metal is almost done. Taking some material to be broke next week for the trans tunnel & I've still got to do the...

This is the interior sheet metal between the doors. Once again I used 12ga. material. I tacked the front down and then clamped the back to bend it around the supports between the cabs and tacked to the raised ridge in front of the rear door. Welded the back solid & skip welded the front...

C turbo has a clamp that holds the two halves together, similar to the clamp that connects the stack to the J pipe. The D turbo is bolted together. The C is also smaller than the D. The search feature is amazing here...

I really can't complain about it. Has held up well & the two gallons I've got we're free. Left overs from doing the work truck. Work said they didn't have a use for the rest & that I could have it.

This is what I will be coating the floor with. I put it on the bed of the shop truck I drive a year ago. It's held up really well in an industrial environment. Should also hide any weld lines. I'll be starting on the transmission tunnel this week & starting the roof supports between the windows.

This is 10 step redneck floor pan fabrication. Step 1: drag out the big piece of 3/4" web you've been using for an anvil for several years now. Step 2: measure floor section to the desired width. Then measure it several more times just to be sure. Step 3: measure & mark your material to the...

Mine was in about the same shape when we brought her home. So good score & welcome to the addiction :)

Finally got something done. Been sick lately. Finally got the floor supports joined together. Got the sheet metal done on the outside between the two. Used 12ga. material for that. Should add a good bit more strength than the stock sheet metal thickness. I'm planning on using 10ga. material on...

I bought 2 of these. Been working great for a year now.

Finally got the chance to take some pictures. I decided to replace the whole floor, so I've been cutting the old one out. Should look cleaner in the end. I've got a buddy with a press brake who's going to make me a new transmission tunnel to finish it off. I screwed up by not putting in the rear...

She was a good cat. Can't get out to get squat done now. Blasted rain won't let up. Did get the passenger side cut back loose and clamped in the right spot. I'm connecting the cabs a bit differently than most I've seen. I'm using 5/16 flat bar to connect & reinforce the sides. Top, bottom, & one...

Got the cabs joined together. Passenger side is a little off on the top, so I'll be cutting that side loose & correcting it today or tomorrow. Just have to get more wire, I'd forgotten how much I dislike .025 wire. I'll get pictures up tonight. I also hate to say that my little junk yard cat...

Not got a lot done, but I've gotten a little bit of progress made. Braced the original cab, and cut the back out. Got the second cab roughly set where it will go & starting to get it lined out. Supposed to rain for the next several days, so I'm probably at a stand still for now.
