In this episode I finish up on floor repairs. I also fix rust on the driver side cowl panel. 1949 Willys Pickup Project Playlist - • 1949 Willys Pickup Pro...
*Fantastic* work Tim! 😎👍 I'm gunna have to steal that bead idea from you. Glad to see you're making progress before winter. Happy wrenching my friend 🔧
@@HODGEPODGEDODGEGARAGE Appreciate the encouragement Zane. I'm officially done with welding on the cab. On to getting it in shape for primer and paint.
I had a few dents and one small hole to patch. I was going to give it a good scuff and get some primer on it. I was surprised when my buddy, Guy, stripped to down to bare metal. He's good at keeping me from taking too many short cuts.
What made you ultimately decide to fabricate your own custom floor panels rather than buying prefabbed floor pans? I can certainly see advantages to both approaches.
@@kjohn1626 1 - cost. Premade run $200 each side. I paid less than $50 for a 4x4 sheet of 18ga steel. 2- The premade panels don't wrap up the tunnel, so I would have had to do that work on my own. 3 - Floors get covered up. You can get away with more hackery than with the visible body panels.
I'm assuming you want dimensions for the cab mount points. 36 3/4" across front mounts, 50" across rear mounts, 47 1/2" between front and rear mounts. If you haven't seen it yet, check out my Part 3 video where I build the cart. I built the cart frame on the floor using plumb lines from each cab mount to determine the overall shape. ruclips.net/video/r5IxFVkW_-w/видео.html I added rear extensions to the cart later to protect the lower rear panel from denting when I roll the cab over on its back. If you're anywhere near central Minnesota, the cart will be up for grabs when I finish the cab work and get it back on the truck frame.

@@TheToolmanTim I'm a master of hackery. Your floors turned out great, by the way.
Could you share the dimension of your cart?
