I managed to get started on this project just before the end of financial year so will bring this thread up to date on progress so far.

Working out the order to do this in has been a challenge. The B pillars are welded to 1/4 inch plate joining the front cab to the Australian made body, but you need to have the pillars in place and the spacing right so that both set of doors fit properly. But you can't have the pillars in place without the floor plates..............

1. Removed old cab (origin unknown) and chev window frame for Ford donor truck cab sitting on new cab mounts.
2. Using highly specialised tools (crow bar and sledge hammer) aligned rear body to cab.
3. Pursuaded the hugs and kisses to help me lift the roof back on.
4. Whilst doing the dishes, made a mental note to build a gantry crane.
5. Cut 1/4 plate to make floor plates;
6. Cut up a set of front doors to make the crew door inner skins.
7. Set spacing for new B and C pillars with skins and make minor adjustments to body and cab spacing.
7. Weld in new c channel between rear body and cab to join the two together.

Next: Weld the two side 1/4" plates into place/ Finish both crew doors/ Complete and weld B and C pillars into place.

Stay tuned..................
