Re: the seriousness of slickitis, uni conversion new pics 9
its on
its staying on
truck cab corners took a little beating getting it on, but they can t ever be seen
pretty level, no bolts just some punches and screwdrivers aligning the holes
now for the big fun of welding bodywork and completing this
oh i got the trailer too

Re: the seriousness of slickitis, uni conversion new pics 6
How bout a shot of the inside of the box at the cab Brian.
Looks great- but the wind line on the doors would look better straight with UNI door skins IMO. I know, I know don't push it LOL

Re: the seriousness of slickitis, uni conversion new pics 6
Your truck is looking great Brian. I have a question. How did you attach the rear cab corners(the whole cab corner of your regular cab) to your uni bed? The uni just has a small square of metal as an attachment to the rocker panel where the regular cab had the entire corner. Did they directly fit against each other or did you have to remove some metal first? I am still trying to get mine done as well and might install my big window in it later. Glad to see that you are getting yours finished. Lewis

the uni corner is square so the regular curved corner is inside, if you looked in the gas tank hole you can see the rounded corner
underneath the cab corner tails hang down, but im thinking of removing them and using a 4" wide plate over the bottom where they join up just to keep water and anything else getting between the 2 layers of metal ( the back of cab and front of bed)

Re: the seriousness of slickitis, uni conversion new pics 6
today the inside of the bed got a nice coat of rustoleum rusty metal primer
now i can really see all the dents from the po throwing steel in it for 25 years
not too worried the other bed had them too though not nearly as many
not going to spend all year doing bodywork on it, for now as long as its not rusting im good

If you were clipping a unibody bed and big window to a standard cab would you clip it at the seam below the roof?

Re: the seriousness of slickitis, uni conversion new pics 6

Re: the seriousness of slickitis, uni conversion new pics 7
yes planning on attending with truck this time
but truck is down again
bought a chrome grille
figured i would take off the fenders and do some rust repairs since the grille was out
turned out more tinworms than i expected
ended up dismantling the whole front clip
so building new cab mounts and floor with 1\8" plate and fixing the other holes with standard thicness
couple views of the cab mount
one with the 1st floor piece in place
probably going to be several weeks on this

Re: the seriousness of slickitis, uni conversion new pics 9
its coming along, floor is 99% done, got most of the other pieces like the core support an inner fenders repaired and now today started on the drivers side outer fendershipwrecked wrote:how goes the battle?
had fun with a broken off bolt yesterday, the one on the firewall that hods up the little bracket for the fender
tried to vise grip it from inside the vent after spraying with pb, did not budge
then tried drilling and an easy-out
still would not budge
finally kept increasing drill bits until i got just below the tap drill then i used an ice pick to get out the rest of the threads then ran a tap thru, took nearly 2 hours but its good to go now.
hoping i can get to painting and assembly real soon
