Lookin' good man, you're smokin' this thing, do you have a job or do you work on this 24/7? You're making me feel bad about my truck, lol.

haha thanks man. And ya i work 40 hours a week at a spring shop doing suspension on all large trucks like macks and kenworths. Its hard to come home and get dirty all again after 8 hours under a truck but i think of it as "its not gonna build its self" haha

new cab! got a killer deal on it and its in great shape, very solid still has a floor. has all the glass, just the few dents in the rear and one decent size one on the roof but should be able to get most of them out. Its a reo diamond T, not sure on the year.

 

[jawman]

that does look like a nice cab from something probably 50-60's

 

[joe440]

ya the guy said somewhere in the 50s, its been off of a truck and in a barn since 1965

 

[jawman]

I was thinking 54- 56 maybe. I didnt know Reo and Diamond T ever joined

 

[joe440]

im younger so i dont know much about either of them. maybe the guy didnt really know then?

 

[rainman]

It's a 2000, say's so right on the side!!!![cl

heres what i was told on another site
"When Diamond T was absorbed by REO, the D-Ts lost their traditional cab (except on the big rigs) and were equipped with the old REO cab. Can't tell you how many years REO used it but that's what you have."

That is really cool. Use it as is and don't cut the roof.

 

[joe440]

ya i dont want to cut the roof up, hopefully just get in there and push up on the roof to get the dent out

new cab sure looks clean..! keep at it

 

[joe440]

so this project is gonna be going a little slower due to a recent injury i did to my knee. Tore my acl,mcl, meniscus and fractured my femur and tibia. I'm on crutches now and can move around a little though, so got the cab inside, stripped it down, and popped some dents out of the roof and doors too with the help of the old man. Turns out its even more solid than i thought.

underneath

most of the roof dents out

That does look solid. Take care of your body, we only get one. I hope your knee gets better.

 

[jawman]

[joe440]

[joe440]
