Got the first coat of primer on the cab, front clip, and hood today. It sure was hot! I start a new job next week, so progress will slow down some. Randy

work cramps my style.....not that i have any style mind you...BUT if i did,it sure would be cramped from work

hope the new job goes well,it will make less time for the truck,but you will enjoy the time you do spend on it a lot more

it was 102* here same day,your right it was hot

I love following this thread, we have a 57 dodge as well that we are in the process of "rodding"

These threads give me motivation!

More pics and advice so I don't screw mine up too bad!!!

PS. THREAD HIJACK!!! are there any differences in the 57 cabs between D100, D200, D300 etc? Or are they all the same cab with beefier motors/suspensions?

thanks! (now resume to previously scheduled thread)

From what I read, the cabs are suppose to be the same, regardless of the size of the truck, even the cab overs are suppose to use the same cabs. The fenders are a different story, the difference is between the the 1/2 tons and everything bigger. There may also be a difference between a 3/4 ton and the larger trucks, but 1 tom & up are suppose to be the same, except cab overs, they are their own game. Gene

On my 55-56 C-3-C8 if the VIN did not tell me it is a 3/4T I would have believed it is a 1/2T. The only thing wierd is it uses 5x5 bolt pattern wheels. Yeppers, same as chebby p/u wheels or same as my trailer.
