Re: i've finally started
 

oh they tryed to say the cab corner wasn't the right patch panel for tha6t cab that it was for a regualr c=10 cab and that my was a custom cab becaus eof the trim and i told the guy the cabs where the came just one have trim on them

Re: i've finally started
 

tear down!

Re: i've finally started
 

good lord! i've never welded a patch before in my life and i could have done better than that! i think the best way for them to make it right is too pay another shop to do it over right. that's nearly the saddest thing i've seen. i feel for ya man! with the help on this sight, you really should try and fix all of that yourself and save all the cash you spend on labor. you can practice on some of your old parts and get the hang of it before you actually do something on your cab. like one of the previous posters mentioned, that labor would buy a nice welder! Just my $.02...

Re: i've finally started
 

This is one reason I want to do this myself; no one cares for your stuff like you do. I could never afford to pay a person to do it right.

Re: i've finally started
 

Just check out your build,sad that they call that body work,hope they get that looking alot better than what they started, good luck with your build,keep on truckin'' :metal:

Re: i've finally started

Re: i've finally started
 

well someone called and reported me to the city i have 10 days to get the truck compeltey back together with tags or it gets towed off this is some bull crap

Re: i've finally started
 

WOW THAT SUX!!..Why is that? is it cus its in the front yard?

Re: i've finally started
 

That stinks!!! The only good news is these trucks bolt together pretty fast ;)

Re: i've finally started
 

yup its because we have 3 vehicles not currently running and for some reason your only allowed one i have to to get rid of all extra parts, the bed has to be bolted on and and i can only have one cab on the ground ( i have a toyota cab also that back there for another project) its all in the back of our yard, this has totaly shot my plan as i had money coming in 3 weeks to a month and planed on sand blasting the frame, but i guess its a cheap rust converter and paint for now until we get the shop built

Re: i've finally started
 

well reassembly starts today got the core support mounted and the manual cross member out waiting on teh flywheel bolts and it can go back together

Re: i've finally started
 

more work!!!! to the people that said i'd have to shorten my drive shaft and that the manual yoke wouldn't work here you go. oh also installed a new center support bearing, drive shaft fit perfect as did the yoke. Also picked up my new fenders today

Re: i've finally started
 

more work got the cab mounted and bed sit on when i ran out of day light couple fo friends helping out

Re: i've finally started
 

Nice progress!!! Looking like a truck :chevy:

Re: i've finally started
 

Bring me that cab and I'll repair it for you to uphold the image of decent bodymen. Obviously the shop took you for a ride on that deal. I have seen newby "body men" produce work 10x better than that with a torch and coat hangers. If you need help on the cab, let me know, most of it is really simple. Don't get discouraged, there is always plenty of other stuff to refurb while waiting to get the cab straightened out.

Re: i've finally started
 

i'm be more then happy to get it fixed right but right now i am in a time crunch i have till next friend to finish it or move it and i got no where else to take it so its going together like ti is
