Nothing at all wrong with your workmanship my friend and I
to your talent as I have none when it comes to welding. I think you are too hard on yourself but then again I also know we can be our own worse critics and enermies too

thanks for your reactions cliff, bob and gilles it is good to hear.
you probebly right about we are to hard for ourselfs when we do this restoration work. keith, I want to go with the chevy to arnhem this year, but i still have alot to do before i can register the truck and go on the road so up and i try. I will be working on it for 3 weeks on a row (no holyday) this summer so maybe it's finisht by then ![]() but first i placed the wiring for the rearlights in so i can place the floorplate on the frame and a seat to go and make a proof drive before building the cab. only one problem was the seats they were bolted straid on the floor and one was cut 4 inch short ??? so i have to correct this before driving the truck. ad dirk leegwater we found the parts that belong under the seats and made the missing 4 inches for the other seat. so time for a ![]() cheers jaap

Thanks of the pcitures Japp.....
why did you have to cut the seat.....?? The structure under the seat for a cab 11 is different than the cab 11/12... The cab 11 has a wooden spacer and they are bolted directly to the floor through the wood which is different from the cab 13 which is clipped onto the floor.... Can you explain or put up more photos of hwat you had to change... Just trying to learn for my own cab 11.... Thanks Boob
