Ol' Blue

[Beach66Bum]

that's some serious holes in the floor boards. Are you getting the floor panel replacements that are already to just drop and weld (so to speak)

I see a nice truck to the left of the cab!

Yep, and I'd just get some random sheet metal to throw in there. lol. But, I may just look for a new cab...or maybe a different truck..

And yeah..I've started workin on that thing again too..gotta get it done!

THING?!?!? Never!

 

[RedLariat85]

THING?!?!? Never!

Haha! Why did I even say that...I mean of course it's way more than just a thing!

 

[RedLariat85]

Well today I got some more parts for Ol' Blue!! Got some longtube headers, two mint front fenders, 1979 grille that is in decent shape, and a set of white wagon wheel rims!!

Here is a pic of the headers, I will get a pic up of the other parts soon.

Thats some serious cancer on those floor boards.
It didn't help any that Ford advertised the rubber mats as "hose them out cleaning". But the water got through to the padding and stayed there till the metal rusted out.

Yeah, I decided to just find a different cab.. And Ford really advertised that? No wonder why they rusted out!!

It might have been just a salesman pitch but yes it was out there.

I think I remember reading that in some sales literature?

 

[RedLariat85]

Well, I picked up some more parts today..

 

[Ridgerunner]

Cool they look to be in nice shape.

Are those REAL Ford fenders?

 

[RedLariat85]

Yeah they are. I just have to pick up one more of the rims.

Are those REAL Ford fenders?

I'm pretty sure..

 

[RedLariat85]

Well, I went and looked at a cab today..it's in alright shape..not much rust..other than on the front cab mount. Just has a decent size dent in it..Not sure if I should get it, or keep the one i have..He wants $150..

 

[Ridgerunner]

How much does your cab need?

 

[RedLariat85]

How much does your cab need?

Well the extra cab that I have needs floors, and cab corners. And the cab on my truck is really rotted around the rear window on the inside..

 

[Ridgerunner]

Sounds like that cab you found is less work and in better shape. Any Bondo in it?
