Nice work, glad to see you're saving the cab 🙂 .

I’m not Glad to be doing it 😂... Thanks man not my finest work but good enough I think I’d have had better results had I used my bead roller to make the channel and just rolled the radius into flat metal as opposed to bending something up and shrinking and stretching it like I did  because I didn’t want to have to “waste time” digging  out the right tool   😂😂

Floor and inner rockers are repaired still a good amount of rust repairs to do but  the cab is on for test fit gotta do a bit of fire wall work to accommodate the new tilt column and pedal set up then on to the fun stuff

where's the video of designing the rear power window ? That's pretty cool. 

Thanks still in the very early stages of the project not much to show the regulator is just tacked on to a crude bracket right now to kinda see what’s what I’ll post more about it as I make some more progress I ran out of steel over the weekend so I moved on to my new pedal set up but I’m hoping to get back to the rear glass next weekend

Makes total sense, looks fantastic too. Nice job!

Thanks Man just like seemingly everything else I do it’s still a work in progress. Im currently working on the column mount/ pedal set up getting it all fitted and hooked up to run the 7” gm booster  and stiffening up the column mount a bit

Thanks it’s been a ton of work  nothing survives the salt 😂 sorry for the late reply I got a new phone a few months ago and haven’t been able to figure out how to get back on here till today lol good thing I’m better at metal work than I am with technology or the truck might never get done 😂😂😂
