Cab Support Tutorial - What Do You Think?

[merc359]

Hey Guys,

I just replaced the original cab supports on my 78 Chevy Short Box and welded all new metal in and around them. I tried to document the whole affair by taking photos and explaining what I did.

I did up a tutorial with pictures along the way. Could you take a look at it and tell me your thoughts:

Let me know what you think and if there is any area I need to elaborate on.

I am not a great site designer so I apologize that the site isn't uber-slick. However, I posted the tutorial after several requests for this info and hope that it helps someone.

Thanks,

Merc359

Looks good, well written and the pics come up pretty quick.

Nice job dude!!

It's such an unsexy, thankless, labor intensive job isn't it? The best you can hope is that nobody can tell you did anything when you're done...

Good write-up!

Yeah the welds aren't quite as sassy as those I saw on your shackle mounts, but it is a rather thankless job...... until the frame and body are twisting and articulating under load and off road treatment. Suddenly I'll be glad that it was done...

Yeah, having a solid rust free truck is a nice feeling...even if nobody else cares or notices.
