Carl Eagle Posted September 16, 2012 Author Report Share Posted September 16, 2012 I now have the cab on the frame, and the rear section of the frame coated! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Downeast Johnny Posted September 16, 2012 Report Share Posted September 16, 2012 I am enjoying your progress photo's, Carl. Something that i started wondering about, earlier in the thread. Are you doing all this work outside? If so, I would like to see some of the jigs you set up to move and position things. (Like the cab).

Carl Eagle Posted September 16, 2012 Author Report Share Posted September 16, 2012 The cab was outside, but I done the work on the frame in the garage. The cab was just basically jaked up and the old bent frame was pulled out from under it.lol. It was alot of work but everything worked out. I basically stacked concrete blocks up and used 4x4s to support the cab until I could get the good frame with engine and tranny already installed under it and then let it down a little at a time. I had a buddy help me with it or I couldnt have done it this way. I thought about putting a hoist in the tree above it but Im not as young as I used to be and didnt want to climb the tree. I would love to have a lift in my garage but I just do with what I have to work with. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Downeast Johnny Posted September 16, 2012 Report Share Posted September 16, 2012 Thanks for the comeback, Carl. Your method of raising and lowering the cab sounds just like the way I have been known to do things, from time to time. A mans gotta do what a mans gotta do. In the last couple years I've found a girlfriend with a barn so I've taken some projects inside, (as opposed to the yard), and it feels like uptown. I know exactly what you mean about not being as young as we once were. It has a way of forcing you to use your head a little more than your back. I look forwarrd to your next update.

Carl Eagle Posted October 19, 2012 Author Report Share Posted October 19, 2012 The truck is running but it doesnt have fenders or hood yet. I had to do a relearn on it because I had to change the steering column making the vats kick and the theft system went into default. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
