gatorincebu Posted February 2, 2015 Posted February 2, 2015 Real nice job on the body work on the cab extension. And your interior is looking good as well. Be Well Gator
Old Buckaroo Posted March 5, 2015 Author Posted March 5, 2015 I have been dragging my feet on this one . The final assembly is something I look so forward to but dread doing it. I wanted to add sound insulation under the cab. I cut aluminum foil in scale 24"x 24" squares then trimmed them to fit under the doghouse. I also need to spray the bottom of the cab and around the insides a bit. Once that is done next will be the lights, mirrors, grab handles ect. My retainer strips are not as straight as I would like - but I can live with them (maybe)
cowboy rich Posted March 5, 2015 Posted March 5, 2015 I grew up in a 4070. Only seen 1 stretched cab. Looks great Greasy side down Rich
Truck parts Posted March 5, 2015 Posted March 5, 2015 WOW !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!That is sweet looking. Great work on the body work ,and paint job,
Tesla Posted March 5, 2015 Posted March 5, 2015 That sound insulation is a nice addition...looks great!
Old Buckaroo Posted March 6, 2015 Author Posted March 6, 2015 I grew up in a 4070. Only seen 1 stretched cab. Looks great Greasy side down Rich That sounds like a good way to grow up. I remember seeing a few doublebunks when I was a teenager (late 1970 & eraly 1980's) I thought they were the coolest. Thanks Gordan - It was one of those ideas that so far has worked out Dennis - It was a challenge gluing in that foil I was not at all impressed with the kit manifolds and pipes. Reminded me more of a boat exhaust. I robbed a couple Cali . Hauler manifolds and then got to fab up the pipes. This is the second set - the first time I did not place the fuel tanks - ooops. Here is all my fancy pipework before it gets hidden by the cab. Thanks for looking in
72 Charger Posted March 6, 2015 Posted March 6, 2015 Looks great cab looks great too I may do one myself. Its a shame about the paint run on the tank in the last pic
Old Buckaroo Posted March 6, 2015 Author Posted March 6, 2015 Looks great cab looks great too I may do one myself. Its a shame about the paint run on the tank in the last pic That is an annoying bugger, I need to find a fuel cap to hide that ! Dennis - Thank you . I need to get this finished so my level of stress will drop .

Old Buckaroo Posted March 17, 2015 Author Posted March 17, 2015 Starting to add some "cab candy" . I spent the morning scouring my bench looking for the door handles I robbed from a Revell '69 Nova kit, cant find them anywhere. It is always something Thanks for looking
Mopar - D Posted March 17, 2015 Posted March 17, 2015 Sean this is getting close and just keeps getting better. I know what your going through I had one of my turn single vanish from my work area while I was sitting there never to be found. My work bench got a good clean up from it lol.
SpreadAxle Posted March 18, 2015 Posted March 18, 2015 Very creative. I like what you've done so far.
cowboy rich Posted March 18, 2015 Posted March 18, 2015 A 1:1should be pretty comfortable as I said before I grew up in a transtar but standerd cab (84 comes to mind) I like it!! Love the old corn binders very nice build Rich
Cabover Kid Posted April 15, 2015 Posted April 15, 2015 Wow, Sean I'm really glad ur doing this project. I can almost hear dads old 350 cummins!! Thanks!!
kilrathy10 Posted April 15, 2015 Posted April 15, 2015 Man, this baby is looking good....Great resto job.....I'm liking the black....
gatorincebu Posted April 15, 2015 Posted April 15, 2015 Sean, Real nice work thus far! I really like your exhaust piping, good job on that. That black paint job looks good as well. Have you thought about which trailer you will put behind it? I think a drop deck would look good! ??? be Well Gator
