D-cab swap pictures (finally)

Deserttaco · 08-12-2005, 01:18 PM

Ok I got my hosting issues taken care of (It helps if the end user (me) knows what i was doing) so here are the pics from the D-cab swap. As of right now it's not changed much from these pictures. The cab is on the frame, so is the bed. but none of the interior or electronics are hooked up.

So I started with this

and this

Then I sold a bunch of junk, and my dad and I did a little body work, I ended up with this

Here is a link to a little film clip to the cab going onto the new frame
http://www.norcalttora.com/~steve/ph...p/MOV02091.MPG

and ended up with this

As of right now it's in the garage with 3 of the 4 doors on it, and hasn't been touched since... hopefully i'll get out there next week and see if i can get it running.

Looks like a regular swap meet in the driveway there! LOL
Looking good! Any ideas of when the project will be road ready?

Marcopolo · 08-12-2005, 01:39 PM

That’s pretty awesome! Can't wait to see the end result. I bet you can't either. The video makes it look easy. haha

zosimov21 · 08-12-2005, 01:44 PM

Yeah from what I can tell The Dick and Angry Andry were there and calm

Dick Foster · 08-12-2005, 02:07 PM

Yeah we were both there. Most of all the active NorCal types was there but Mike wasn't there. Mike was slacking off and would not even answer his phone.
Pay back is a bitch isn't it Mike?
That was for the keyboard up my ass crack. LOL

Dick Foster · 08-12-2005, 02:29 PM

Isn't this post in the wrong folder, shouldn't it be in Cheap Tricks?
Damn noobs. LOL

Let me know if you get any of them wild electrons that need taming but you're an EE now so I expect you can probably handle it.

wslytoy · 08-12-2005, 02:37 PM

glad to see you've finally gotten somewhere on this swap. I know its been a major headache as far as just finding the damn cab, I can't imagine how much time its gonna take to get everything COMPLETELY back together. Oh yeah, aren't you keepin the 97 front clip? If and when you've got that on, I'd like to see how that looks. Peace, Wes

Dick Foster · 08-12-2005, 02:41 PM

It just states a simple fact. LOL
The wife got that for me.

wslytoy · 08-12-2005, 02:48 PM

the facts are the facts, not always good, but that's life. Thats awfully sweet of your wife, lol!

Dick Foster · 08-12-2005, 02:53 PM

I think I got a keeper.

wslytoy · 08-12-2005, 02:55 PM

Ditto, its just gonna be hard to continue our relationship w/ her moving to the Republik of Kalifornication.

But that's neither here nor there, and she's got nothing to do w/ the thread, haha.

HappyPills · 08-12-2005, 03:05 PM

I allways love seeing things like this done.

Looks really good.

Dick Foster · 08-12-2005, 05:10 PM

Finally, it took you long enough. LOL

There weren’t many noobs acting up today so I had to substitute.

Deserttaco · 08-12-2005, 05:34 PM

Yeah, I like Dick , and Dick likes me....we are two great great guys that are more great together. Actually, we were giving each other shit all day long....Although I am SURE I did more WORK then he. I even rolled up the old man's welding cables for him....I felt bad cause he looked like he was having heat stroke....

Dick Foster · 08-12-2005, 05:46 PM

I did more work by accident than you did on purpose.

I don't guess he heard the audio where I was giving you shit about not holding up your part. LOL
