Re: Lola: My Moon Shot 70 SWB K10

Big weekend.

Loaded up the truck and took it to the shop for the cab fitting. This is the first time in 18 months that the cab is back on the truck...both in completely different shape than when they were separated.

The good news is, firewall seems to be a fit with the LS and headers...I do have one header to repair but that's another story.

We had to fuss with the new cab mounts and bushings. The front needs a bit of shimming for the cab to be level...the back I maxed out the replacement bolts (slightly too long) and sure enough the nut on one side of the back cab mount came loose. For those of you that have experience with 4X4 cab mounts, the nut is secured into the floor, but has a serious design flaw as it comes loose very easily. Nothing that a tack weld won't fix...

Next up is to finish welding up doors and door repair, then mount those along with the bed, start gaping, and primer.

Then blocking...

Along with a bunch of other stuff...

Oh...and the tunnel, t-case shifter, and hump look like they actually fit as well!!!
