Re: 67 (Crew Cab) C30
 

There was (mouse nest) insulation all across the front on the roof seam.
At first I though mice?
It was neatly placed all the way across the front channel.
So this is what the factory done to hold the cab light wire in place and protect it.
Because some of it was still bonded to the wiring harness.

Driver's side sunvisor reinforcement plate
and hole for routing cab light harness.

Attachment 1939054
Pass. side sunvisor reinforcement is there
so A visor could be added.
Because this truck didn't come out with one.
This is the last terminal on the cab light harness.

Here's a picture of the Insulation
from pass side view.

Re: 67 (Crew Cab) C30
 

Good progress, building it right

Re: 67 (Crew Cab) C30
 

Thanks

My next step is a (Frame) jig for the floor-pans.
I need to drill holes in that frame then level it.

Re: 67 (Crew Cab) C30
 

Are you meaning make a jig to put your body mounts on the frame?

Re: 67 (Crew Cab) C30
 

Madkidd007
I am in the process of making a Platform for the cab.
When I complete it I will take Pictures.
This platform is to build the cab.
I am making this platform using 8" I beam for my base.
I will have stands for the different measurements with
the floor-pan braces that it will take to make the
differences in the mounting points in my Floor-pan.
This is how I will transfer the floor-pan to my frame
and cab mount locations.

Re: 67 (Crew Cab) C30
 

Small update.
My helping hand is getting a little sassy.
Attachment 1955200

Got some work done on the platform.
This is the frame I will build my cab on.

Attachment 1955202

I leveled and welded the 2 I-Beams.
Check Both I-Beams for square in X & Y & Z.

Re: 67 (Crew Cab) C30
 

That’s one hell of a platform! I like it. You could also use it to do any frame work needed.

Re: 67 (Crew Cab) C30
 

Thanks
I hope to get some more work done to the frame today.

Progress report.;)
After All the Holiday party's :waah:
I am Glad to spend time with the family :metal:
I just wish they liked Trucks like I do.:lol:



I cut Circle's out of a sheet of steel
I welded those to the top and bottom of a piece of pipe
to make some stands for leveling the floor pan.
Attachment 1971163

Attachment 1971164
I didn't take a Picture of the pipe before I started cutting:uhmk:

This pipe that I used was the pipe that was my basketball pole
when I was young.
Yea I saved it that long.:lol:
Attachment 1971165

Attachment 1971166
I turned these on the lathe.
Then put them on the mill to get them close to size.
Attachment 1971167
I then had them Precision ground
to the (height) +/- frame mounts / jig frame.
These are the test fixtures.:ito:

These will be used on my platform.












.

Re: 67 (Crew Cab) C30
 

Then the Next step is the :sumo:
Solid stands I have machined in the 3rd and 4th picture.
I will get the floor-pans leveled with the pipe stands
in the 1st and 2nd picture below.
Then I will know the Difference between the
front and Rear stand measurements.

Attachment 1971191

Attachment 1971192

These (solid) stands in the pictures below
are on stand -By for now:lol:

Once I get the floor-pans level.
I will know the measurement to grind these stands
in the pictures below.

Re: 67 (Crew Cab) C30
 

You have a lot of determination going on there in the slow process of putting it all togeather,, and you have some pretty good skills in doing so .. I know what you mean about having a lot at work happening and keeping you from your fun job at home.. I couldnt wait to get home to my projects .. looking good what you have done and when done ,,you can stand back and be happy with how you did it all.

Re: 67 (Crew Cab) C30
 

Thanks for the kind words.
I hope to get the I-beam frame in the garage in a month or so.
Then I can start (making it look like something):lol:.
I have most of the Major parts now.

Re: 67 (Crew Cab) C30
