Dads a pretty good fabricator, I knew he was smarter than me when he said surquatruse or what ever that word was, lol, good stuff guy’s, that seat should rock baby
Thanks Dad. You do good work. I'd ditch those ScotchLocks on the seat wiring though. There are better, more reliable ways to splice wires.😄 Thanks again for sharing your hard work.👍👍❤
Nice work Jim! That seat is a great choice to use, looks compatible with the cab. You shd get a small lathe, I bought a used one on Craigslist years ago and modified it.... game changer for sure! Cheers, Doug
Joffery, Could you clarify on how and why you moved the cab forward 1.5 inches? Also could you comment on any problems or physical problems you encountered doing this change? Thanks, you've already greatly improved my nearly exact build that I am currently working on.
Hey Jim! So we moved the cab forward 1.5 inches after the mock-up for two reasons. The main reason is it gave us the room we needed to keep our stock fan setup with our new radiator. We were very close with it in the original spot and the extra space gave us the little clearance we needed for the radiator. If you watch the first video at the end you will see there is a gap between the front fenders and the cab. So moving the cab forward made the gap fit and also gave us radiator room.
