Ok my numbers were from a 2nd gen not a 3rd .  I Thing my 3rd gen is at 127"  but the axle is moved forward 3 inches, so I guess They are only a few inches apart. Anyone

[swapped89]

Thankst THK. I saw that on pirate the other day too.

Last night I cut part of the core support on the new cab to clear my steering box. And started cutting the back of the cab to clear the frame rails. Tonight I'll probly cut the floor out to clear the horsecollar. And hope this new fuze I bought for my welder fixes my drive motor problem. I disconnected the drive motor wires on my welder and hooked them up to a 12 volt battery and the motor works just fine. So if this fuze don't fix it I might end up just takin it in to Quimby welding were I bought it to have them diagnose the problamo.

[swapped89]

Well I had to take the welder in to Quimby so there service tech can figure out the problem with my welder. I put a new fuze in and the second I pull the trigger the fuze blows. I'm guessin it's either the circuit board or a short somewhere. Really hope I get it back Monday. Pretty lame. And I had to work almost full day today. Bit I think when I get home I'm gonna start pullin the dash and wiring harness out of the old cab and hopefully have it all switched over into the new cab by Sunday night.

[91 ex-cab]

 That sucks the fuze didn't fix it, does it have some kind of warranty on it still?

[swapped89]

I wish I bought it used so there might have been a warranty but it's long gone I'm pretty sure

[swapped89]

Started on the wirng harness swap last night got everything out of the old cab, including the pedals swapped over cause i want them to feel exactly like they did in the old cab.
-Old cab-


Harness including alarm harness, tach, and ARB harness

New cab, Heater core and fan and harness in. Just need to clean up the harness a bit. install the crossmember and put the ash back on. Im waitin to finish it till i get a new speedo cable cause my old speedo cable broke years ago and nows the easy time to replace it.

[swapped89]

Does anyone know where i can order or just go buy some heat shield material? wanna cover mnore of the firewall and under the cab where the exhaust runs and the tranny tunnel, cause in the summer this pig gets 

[swapped89]

Finally got my dash all buttoned up. I hadto find a new speedocable before I put it all back together.

and the welder is still down. It was blowin fuzes because the drive motor was grounding/shorting out on it's casing. So my dad ordered me a new motor as a birthday present (nov 2nd) but it won't be here till the end of next week

I also ordered some Therm Tec heat shield material from Jegs. I ordered a 48"x72" sheet should be enough to cover the tranny tunnel and most of the firewall.

[91 ex-cab]

 
Can't wait to see you get going on this thing again, oh and happy really late birthday

[swapped89]

you some kind of hippy try putting on some shoes 

ha shoes make it worse. I think my 3.0 crossover exhaust pipe is what heats that general area up. Would it matter if I was a hippy?


91 ex cab- thanks for the belated happy birthday. Ya havin the welder fixed oughtta get me going again

[91 ex-cab]

I feel ya on the welder thing, I probably should of just fixed mine rather than buy a new machine.
Take some pictures when you lay the heat shield cause I have the same problem

[Early]

[Jared88]

[swapped89]

Haha nice pic mike. Ya I made some progress. Didn't take any pics but I will tomorrow after work. Got therear of the frame welded up. And last week me and mike fnished cuttin the cab up. Tomorrow Ima lift the cab back up. Weld up my sliders and front shock tabs. Would have liked to get more done this weekend but I had too much other to do.

[swapped89]

Ok I lied I I did take two pics before I welded the rear of the frame where I'm stretching it. I will take more pics tonight.
