Yes, the reason for cutting the floor and firewall out is to easily set the cab on the superduty frame, I want to leave as much of the factory safety features in tact. Like anti lock brakes, push button 4WD, heater and A/C, cruise control ect. This has been in the works for me forever, The copper truck was my first Car i ever bought when i was 15, fixed it up and painted it right after high school. Drove it for a year. Just wasnt happy with the power, fuel mileage or the brakes. I tried to put a hydroboost set up from a 460 LTD but that didnt work out very well. THen the rear end went out so i gave up. Been sitting for about 7 years and now i found the perfect set up to make this happen. This is where its been for a long time. Next to my other project lol [ATTACH=full]148444[/ATTACH] here is the mess in the cab of wiring, i was a little surprised on how much of the wiring is behind the dash. [ATTACH=full]148445[/ATTACH] going to clean the frame really well before i get too much further. [ATTACH=full]148446[/ATTACH] Frame is going to be way too long so i am going to have to cut it for sure but thats ok. [ATTACH=full]148447[/ATTACH] This poor ole 79 lived much of its life on a farm. This surprisingly didnt push the fan into the radiator LOL. The truck i was told didnt run but i drove it in the shop LOL [ATTACH=full]148448[/ATTACH] but its one of the most rust free trucks i have ever seen. No rust on the rear fenders, no rust on the cab corners and no rust on the lower parts of the fenders and doors. Pretty cool [ATTACH=full]148449[/ATTACH] Sorry for all the pictures, i generally do not take enough but i am going to change that this time. [ATTACH=full]148450[/ATTACH] This is what the orange truck looked like right after i painted it. Far from perfect but not bad for my first complete "restoration" paint job i guess.
