It's my turn, 47 S10 build

What is everybody mounting the rear cab mounts on them? All of the builds I have been following used the same rear mount as the front saved about the same. I had just assumed they were using the factory spot on the cab.

Good looking build.

I mounted a bar across the back of the cab in the "floor brace channels" and bolted it down in several places. I thought this would add some decent strength. See pics post 50 and 51:

More updates and pictures. Was able to get some time in this weekend on the truck. The next step was setting the cab on the new frame. As much as I hate cleaning, Now was the time to do it.

Inside was rather nasty to begin with. The seats were the first to go. The covers are done for but the frame and springs are in pretty good shape. Gonna craigs list them one of these next couple days. Any body interested shoot me a PM.



68 years of crud.



Two hours later I was pretty happy with what I found.





The ususal surface rust but very little cancer to be found. There were a few small holes on the right side. Those are not holes at this top of the pic. Thats shiny metal that was under the insulation.



The drivers side kick panel will have to be replaced but I new that going into this project. Kinda hard to tell from the picture but theres a couple buckles in it along with the rust. The left front fender was changed at some point and Im guessing things got a little tweaked in the wreck. Nothing major though.

Didnt have so good of luck on the hood though. Of course the last one had to ruin my afternoon. Not looking forward to drilling that out of the hood.



After the hood bolt I had little patience for the steering column and took the easy route. Sawzall and about 30 seconds.



From there the cab lift got used again. Thanks HUSSEY for the pics. It worked fantastic. Had to improvise a little because it still had the passenger side door on but a battery in the left rear corner and an extra floor jack for counter weight and all was good.



Just a little rot in the cab corners.





Went to set the cab on the new frame and had one of those " what the heck is going, oh yea thats right" moments. It didnt fit.



Someone had the bright idea to make the frame wider. Didnt see that coming lol. Not a big deal. Trim a half inch off either side and it will fit just fine.

And temporarily sitting really crooked on the new chassis.
