What have I done! Plymouth Truck!

LOL
So .... gotta lil Ply truck cab... good, kinda rusty .... oh well, OK ALOT RUSTY!
Gonna mount dat Bitch on a frame!
Follow along as Sexy Rexy and I bring this thing outta the closet

You ever held a hair dryer over a tub when a Chic is .... oh wait, more on that later.

This is how it looked when I got it .....

Got the front axle together, mounted (oh yes yes! ), cut the rear frame off the frame, dragged the Cab up on it...

Not diggin that big bubble top at all........ REX SAID CUT IT!!!! I'm easy so I said yes.... (you hear that Ladies? )

Gotta brace it up..... (dont ask me why this is so important, yep I had a folder lol)

Good reason to keep all ya scrap steel.....

Notice the clear view welding helmet Rex is using?

Crap..... never fails!
Ran outta welding wire!
Oh and look its 7:30 ..... PM!
Tractor Supply is still open!!!!!

GET IN THE TRUCK! Anybody what some Krystals?

Ok.... back to the truck, got some sliders in us (courtesy of Krystal) so times limited NOW!

Measure cuffs BEFORE chop.... not after.

Looks to be about 4 inches, so thats whats coming outta the top!

REX approved


BRB......

Was that cab listed in Knox craiglist ?

dam right man! ill be watching this build.

lookin good. I like the "working on the tan" picture.

Thanks all for the kind words, since this is a working body shop during the day we only have a couple hours a few nights a week to work on it so we have to plan out what were gonna do so as not to waste anytime.

Rex and his brother Rodney are super kool about helping me out with this thing, Rex has a good eye (when they arent swelled from welding! lol) about these things and you gotta have people around with enthusiasm to make this all fun.

The poison people will ruin the whole thing for you, you know the guys im talking about, "that won't work" or "thats gonna look like crap"...... do whatcha want how ya want and have a good time.

And that folks is the ONLY reason to be doing this..... fun.

So..... LETS GET IT ON BABY!
Ok.... cuffs are measured so we know what to cut....... new blades are a must here..... we didnt have any so thats why im saying that!

4 inches.... cut a pattern, looked it over to see where the best place would be to cut.
Remember lotsa bracing inside!
Did a step cut on the back of the cab (you can see it in the the pic I think) to make the rear window look right.



This is where you think..... oh crap ... what have I done! lol

One more thing you can see..... we dont have any "special" tools (notice the rear cab supports lol)
PLAN PLAN PLAN......

You can see some of the bracing in this pic, we dont have alota light sorry.

Hurry up.

Mandatory Rats nest in the top...... RATZ BABY!!!!!! LOL



May be a birds nest but...... I like to think it was a RATZ NEZT!

As you can see in this pic the top will have to be split from door to door.....roadster truck? Nah

We used the US Missle Defense top cutter (cheap recp. saw ) to cut it into!

Thumbs up! Good job.... good boy.... yeah yous a good boy.

It was cold, didnt have any heat so we had to take turns warming our hands.......

Time to tack the top back on...... had to wear the Helmet this time..... eyes were starting to swell...... center piece across is next.

Center across is in ... moving it all around to fit........
