Cabin works,

As told before we had the truck over at LF truck centre in Fort Macleod AB, to have the rear wall changed to get a passthrough door mounted in the back. Our idea was to use a RV box door and LF truck centre came up with the idea; since it is a "daycab" why not extend the back with 4-6 inches to make those small cabines more "roomy" and comfortable.

And so happened:

Back wall was taken out,

door delivered,

the 6'' was added, the door build in and black finished with "bedliner".

Happy, happy, happy.

And then the truck was back. Now we can start with the inside of the cabin to sound-deaden the floor and firewall. After that I can put at least the seats back.

We took as much from the dash apart to clean it out and to see if anything was broken.

See you next blog.

Update and wheels

At this moment the truck is at the body shop to get the rear door in the cabin made, as well as a little more space, we will add 6 inch to the back of the cabin. That will give us some more legroom. In the mean time we used

Scoring parts

Long weekend was an opportunity to see if we could score some parts we needed for the truck. One more (air ride) seat, hangers for round tanks, and if possible, an adjustable steering column. Remember the insulated reefer box in Edmonton that wasn't there? The salesman did feel
