Re: Patina56 build aka the never ending story

Thanks everyone, I still have a ton of work ahead but it’s tough finding garage time!
Currently working on getting cab and bed mounts fabbed up. Previously I had bought some stock style from Spencer Rydman but anyone who has put a later chassis under a tf probably knows the problem is that it puts the cab about 4” lower than it should be. Fronts should be done in the next day or so and the rear should be done this weekend.
Then on to engine and transmission mounts.
I’m hoping I can get everything thrown together so I can drag it out to the c10 show next month.

The pictures are of a rusty parts truck I bought for the bed and I cut the cab down to floor and cowl for mocking up the cab mounting. The driveway picture shows how the stock mounts put it way too low, didn’t have enough lift to be drivable.
