Projects 1960 f100 short bed custom cab w/big window

How difficult is it to detach the pitman arm from box to do so?

 

I unbolted mine and it came right off it was a pain fishing the column back through the floorboard it almost needs to be a two person job

 

Damn..Any local hambers want to lend a hand?

 

Where are you at I'll lend a hand if you're not too far away

 

Im far! In in SOCAL

 

Im sorry for the huge pics...Thehamb wont allow me to upload my pics and photobucket is screwed too. Well anyway, I finally recieved the passenger side spotlight!

 

Well as of now my "new" te me cab, front clip and bed will arrive next week. So expect to see some progress.

 

Finally some progress! I bought new u joints and bolts today. I got the u joints off. i will clean and paint the drive shaft this week then assemble it

 

Well I finally got the call today that the new cab,bed and front clip will be here monday.

 

Today after work I pressed in the new front and rear u joints and painted the driveshaft.

 

Finally arrived! Here is the "new" to me cab,front clip and bed.

 

I got a 1960 F100 and the spare wheel bracket is exactly like mine.
I cranked it at both ends to give me a little more depth so I could store a slightly wider and bigger rim/tire combination.

If anybody wants to see some pic's of it let me know and I'll get some going for you all.

hmm, i have the spare tire mount that goes in the bed.

 

Really? Pics!

 

wish I were closer!!

 

Yeah man!

 

Well fellas the city doesn't was.t the truck on my driveway anymore. The only way I can put it back in the garage is if I take the old cab off and sell it or chop it up. So the 60 big window cab,doors and 59 front clip I have. So let me know.

 

Post it in the for sale section as well...

 

I have. I will repost. Thanks for the heads up

 

Cool you got your cab, bummer you got to get rid of the other one now asap. I'm headin down to FL tomorrow to pick up a donor cab for mine, will finally have the front cab corners

 

Just saw this build thread!! Looking good man. My club prez who owns Pot O'Gold Kustoms and I are building my 60 f100 Gasser. I still got a ways to go nex big purchase is tires and wheels

 

havent got it mounted yet, too much stuff in the bed.

 

Nice score! I wish somebody would reproduce the front cab corners.

 

Nice project. I need your grill

 

Let's clean out that bed!

 

Well last night I pulled out the steering column and most of the old wirring. The other day I had removed all body mount bolts. I'm hoping to pull the old cab tomorrow. I will try to post some pics a little later.

 

Great build. The Canadian winters did a number on the front cab corners of my '60. Luckily I found someone in California who was willing to cut a cab he had laying around. Will be stitching them in the next few weeks.

Keep up the great work!
