Thread: Cab rebuild process pics + pictures needed

    Default Cab rebuild process pics + pictures needed

    We finally have high-speed to reduce the pain of uploading pics, so I figured I would share a few.
    Here's how is started:


    Here it is now (pre-blasting):



    I rebuilt lots of parts (inner/outer rockers, floors, rear transmission hump, lower door posts, cab corners, support channels (upper/lower)) and took hundreds of pictures along the way, so if anybody needs a pic of something I probably have it.

    However, there are some parts that rotted off the truck a long time ago, and I don't know what they look like. I was hoping somebody could help me out.

    1. I would like to get a picture of the nut plate that holds the driver's side front seat leg - shown below (this pic is of 67 Beast's cab - thanks). I need a picture that shows a little more detail of what this plate looks like (is it flat, flanged, and approximate size?)


    2. The thottle pedal stud mounting plate. This is what I currently have:


    My father machined some new studs but I am not sure how they fit to the plate, and how that plate mounts to the floor.

    Any pics or input would help.

    Thanks,
    Brian (and Angry)

    Great progress! Wow! That's a TON of work on a cab I probably would have just pitched. Good going....

    This is the only helpful shot I have of the gas pedal. If you need another view, let me know. And if no one can come up with the seat nut plate, I can try to get one of that too.

    Wow, I had to do a double take on that first pic of the cab. That is a lot of rust, and you did an amazing job redoing that floor! That looks incredible, great job.

    Actually that's not a pic of my cab bottom, but I believe one of Barry's truck before he left the zone. My cab is all green on the bottom. I have to take a look through all the thousands of pics I took to see if I have a good one of that area.

    I have this on from the same set as the above one...yes they are from Barrys excellent work on that ultra clean stock truck:



    You can see the mount there a little better maybe...it has a square nut welded to that plate with the edges bent up...kinda looks like a piece of box tube that was cut off almost flat to one side but left little ears for some extra strength...I *think* its like 1/4 inch thick but that is a guess from memory...

    Thanks for the pics everyone. That is what I was looking for.
