Home made c-cab....

Well I guess I'll post my build here... Here a home made C-cab I been building... I will fast forward the bild a little at a time.. I have a lot of pictures as I go.. Hope y'all will enjoy it..

The Pizza wagon is what Got me into the C-cab build... I always wanted to build one.. I was going to build the pizza wagon and Everyone said Randy make it your own.. So here we go...


That's my son having a little fun.. I built it out of wood.. Because at first I was going to make a buck to build it out of glass,, But decided to do steel.. So I now had my patten's..

 

I'll take a large pie with the works....

 

Now it was time to build the frame...The frame is 2''x4'' tubing cut down to three at the front end..

 

Yea !!! I know what you mean...

 

More of the frame..

 

Setting the motor and trans in place..

 

I wanted to dress up the motor mount's a little..

 

A few other shot's..

 

Slick, JD Fikes out of Waco built one out of wood in the 70's that didn't have the Ccab roofline but was minus the doors like yours and ran a Ford cowl with a wood body. That thing was a thrill ride going over overpasses at speed with no doors. I ended up with the body for a while after he put a 27 roadster body on it with a turtle deck made from the back end of a 55 chevy and caused a ruckus at the 75 Street Rod Nationals.

You are doing a nice looking job on that frame.

 

Some shot's of the front end going on.. I will be back a little later to add new pictures.. I'm in the middle of doing some fiber glass work and plus I have a wedding tonight to go to.. But I will be posting more.. Hope y'all enjoy the build..Randy

 

Thanks Man..Sound's like a nice one.. It has been a fun build so far.. I took it to get the weight on it one day and people was running off the road and passing on the side of the shoulder to see what the he$$ it was.. It was very funny to see how they acted... More coming a little later..Thanks Randy

 

We wanted to get a idea of how well the body would look on the frame.. So far so good.. Time to move on..

 

Little more of the frame..
