My fab guy is nearing the end. Cab and bed are mounted, new front pans. Rear end has been moved forward to close the bed/cab gap. Bumpers are mounted and fit great. Last things left are the c notch and mounting the booster/column assembly from the Silverado into the International firewall.
Got the call to come check it out, radiator is in, c notch is done, booster/master/pedals all mounted along with the steering column. C notch is done and welded in. Decided I’m going to recover the bench seat now and add side bolsters to hold me in a little better. Truck has the finish work left to do. Lights, interior etc. I’m going to try to get the International dash back in it, it does seem very doable. Wiring should be a breeze, I’ve left all the Silverado wiring intact, front to back. I’ll get some really good photos of the underside and all the work once I pick it up early next week. If it wasn’t for the driveshaft needing to be shorted/built it would drive out of there.
Looks like your guy struggled a bit on that old iron with weld quality, otherwise look freakin fantastic! I love it. width is almost perfect, and I bet she rides great. We need a burnout video ASAP
Also, was your building involved in a fire? looks like one of the walls on the outside has some fire damage
Maybe visually some of the welds may not be ready for the riddler award but penetration and structurally are as sound as it gets. No not my building, and no fire. It’s the fab shop, appears to be sprayed concrete/stucco.
