umodelnut Posted June 29, 2012 Author Share Posted June 29, 2012 Pity - I don't know how it is built and I'm afraid I could have done some errors in my scale model. Maybe you could photograph the new cab for me? Thanks in advance!PawełOh yes, do you need pictures of the floor? Or like underneath? Because we might not be picking it up for awhile?

james j neiweem Posted June 29, 2012 Share Posted June 29, 2012 Vinny just a thought. When you are all done put a wooden stake body on the back(removable if need be). There are a couple of Rmodels running around Ct and they are really sharp. One has 17 inch wheels and it makes one sharp pickup. Good luck.

41chevy Posted June 29, 2012 Share Posted June 29, 2012 Good ! You're are over the hump now. Everything you do on the U now it is on the add on side of assembly! Good feeling to do that.

JTFormula Posted June 30, 2012 Share Posted June 30, 2012 Vinny, I just checked out those pictures. Very cool to see you down to the frame. I was wondering though because you said the cab is shot beyond repair. From what I see, it looks pretty solid. What is bad on the cab that can't be fixed?

Sitting on the ground. You, got an email? I'll email you some pictures of how bad it is. Theres barely any floor, cab frame, is roted, broke, shot. Drip rails roted through, and you can poke your finger through 60% of the whole cab.

Olivetroad Posted June 30, 2012 Share Posted June 30, 2012 , cab frame, is roted, broke, shot.Vinny - I don't want to, but I can't help it................Roted should be rotted. Broke should be broken. Your spelling is rusted? Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/25930-the-cab-is-off/page/2/#findComment-126218 Share on other sites More sharing options...
JTFormula Posted June 30, 2012 Share Posted June 30, 2012 I guess the pics in your profile just didn't show the bad stuff. From what it looked like, there was just surface rust. I didn't get the email with the pictures yet so I'll see what you have when you do.Thats going look sweet when you are done with the bed on it. Take your date to the prom when the time comes.
