Wife's 67 Power Wagon Build -Cage complete!

[kellyjohn]

Prime, sand,and repeat.

had a makeshift wall of filters for incoming air and an exhaust fan with filter under the big rollup door to move out the bad.

 

[kellyjohn]

almost ready for the Silver

plenty of room to work, what a difference from what I was used to.

 

[kellyjohn]

Cab painted

Got the cab done and a few hours later got to work on the box panels etc.

 

[kellyjohn]

Box and fenders.

lots of pieces to wipe down and prep for the silver after setting them up.

 

[kellyjohn]

Assembly begins.

Looking like a reasonable paint job for a non professional.

 

[kellyjohn]

[kellyjohn]

Incredible truck I didn't even notice the tube work in the wheel openings in the original picture, I love it Very nice sheet metal work on the floor/ firewall also, just an awesome rig

I sold a D70 to a guy a few years back, he picked it up in a crew cab of similar vintage that he had a ve pumped 12 valve/ 4500 in, yours is the only one I've ever seen as cool or cooler then that one

 

[K85 Octane]

agree about the fender openings and tube work, really clean and unnoticeable

Very impressive!

 

[kellyjohn]

Tire carrier and tailgate.

Tire swings out and down, "gate" can swing to the right with ease.

Wheel wrench has threads attached with a hitch pin to secure

[AJMBLAZER]

Impressive build.

 

[kellyjohn]

Thanks Guys

Wife likes the mechanical end of things, I can't get enough of the fabrication!!

 

[ashman]

really like the lines on that old truck! really turned out awesome. kudos to your wife for saving it.

quick question on the fender tubes: are those tied into anything, or are they more just dent protection? any other cage stuff?

 

[fear_nothing]

another awesome build kellyjohn. I'd love to have your place and your epic fab skills. Subruban life sux bawls when you were raised on a farm. The turbine wheel are a nice touch were did you find them?
