Anyway, she works great. I used new polyurethane bushings to mount her to the frame.

During this time, I could NOT find any good used door threshold trim. I ended up buying new pieces from Chrysler.

A friend gave me a cool speaker box, so I used it! The speakers in the doors are junk.

Back in today's time.

Saturday, I pulled the cab off of a '78 to rebuild. Again, my goal is to keep dry in wet weather (mine leaks from the windshield and cowl).

The Cab.

I was very encouraged about the condition of the windshield pinch welds. NO rot!

The black tarry substance is not rot. The story is not all good, however. The inner cowl drains were stopped up, and caused leaks...

These leaks were responsible for the worst damage - the floors. Yikes!

Luckily, the damage is in the floors only, and not in the structural supports.

From these you can see that the rocker panels are in pretty good shape.

The center. The sheet metal in the middle is sound. Those cowl leaks caused this damage.

All in all, the cab is very workable. It just needs floors . Here is the top.
