Rear Cab Body Mounts



The start of the rear cab body mounts. Chris started out with 3" square tubing and gave them some nice curves.



Cut and ready for tack welding to the frame. I need to put a glass floor in to see all this great work going on under the cab. 



Ready for the tack welds.



The top part of the mount was formed from flat stock to get the right height. Chris cut in the windows for the mounting hardware and boxed the ends to make a nice clean piece.



Tacked in and ready to do the final welding.






A look at both sides.



We boxed in both side of the front frame rails for a clean look and for mounting the master brake cylinder.



A look form the back.

Chris starting to layout the new sheet metal for the cut out in the back of the cab.




The piece all laid out and ready for the bead roller.



This is after the bead rolling was finished and some lite english wheel action. Chris is turning the bottom edge with a hammer and dollie.



Here is one of the test fits of the new panel. Have a little more work too do but is getting very close to being done.



The before shot.
