    First step - cab rebuild

    Got sidetracked working on some other upgrades now back to working on the cab - though full disclosure, most of the work is being done by a mechanic friend. Finished up the Dynamat on the interior as well as the engine side firewall. New weatherstripping. Replaced the front seat with HMMT...

    First step - cab rebuild

    I bribe the neighbor with cookies and candies from time to time. Height isn't a consideration because once I build the camper I'll be even higher! Most bridges in the US have a 13' clearance and I'll be around 11' when I'm done - if need be, I'll take another route. As to trips in the woods...

    First step - cab rebuild

    Got the truck back, today. The roof rack is 18 inches tall. The stack height is about where I expect the top of my camper will be when it's built. The guy didn't put the HEMMT seats in because he couldn't figure out how to do it. He didn't even put in the passenger seat - I suspect he just...

    First step - cab rebuild

    Asked the guy for an update yesterday, he sent over some pics and I dropped by to take some more. He got the top back from being laser cut and was mounting it. He had an engine hoist in the bed to hold it in place so he could get it all situated properly and tack it. He'll be adding an...

    First step - cab rebuild

    So, my first welder bailed on me, and after calling EVERY welder/fabricator in town and some in the next (I need to live in a more depressed area), I found a guy who restores hot rods who said he could fit me in. He showed me a mock up of the roof done with cardboard, the metal is out being...

    First step - cab rebuild

    Got the new battery box, it's done with a thicker gauge of steel, will take twice as long to rust out! (hopefully) I wanted to put 3 batteries and wasn't sure if the plastic box would fit them, also, I didn't really like the look of the plastic box and it probably cost me the same or even a...

    First step - cab rebuild

    Update: Cab came off yesterday (3/26) and welder told me 2 weeks. What he's doing for me: 1)He pulled the cab off and will be using it for a model for new cab. He'll also handle the installation of the new cab and all the other work below. 2)New cab will be 6 inches taller than old cab -...

    First step - cab rebuild

    No, I'm talking about replacing the cab with another cab this is essentially a copy of the existing cab but for the modifications I listed above. I'm not extending the floor space or making that part bigger, just the ceiling height (now I'm thinking about 6 inches just to make it a little...

    First step - cab rebuild

    I've had a list of things I've wanted to do to the deuce since I bought the thing and I've just taken the first big step and hired a guy to rebuild the cab from the doors up. It's essentially just gonna be a copy of the existing cab with some modifications. I've decided to make the cab 4...
