Project stretch

truck looks sweet man. hopefully next time i see it, itll be on the road.

if only i lived closer up in oregon or in washington i would so come help you guys out!

Disturbing discovery!!! I was trying to figure out why the drivers door would not close right and sit flush and that is when I discovered THIS......







Bondo and weld at the roof line behind cab window where either a new side or new roof were put on




Same in the front piller


Inside under the headliner I found primer and BAD spot welds.








I am not a big body guy so does anyone have an idea on a fix or is this a pretty big deal?

hmmm.....looks like it been t boned sometime in its life. You could cut out all the junk work and redo it and prolly get it back inline/shape...but I am no body guy by any means.

Had a talon I was gonna trade my brother for till I found that both sides had been hit....decided my in perfect shape Mustang was worth more

I wondered about it being T-boned but the passenger side fit PERFECT! I am not sure but if a vehicle gets t-boned wouldn't it mess up the pass side as well? I am going to do some more grinding and digging to see how far all of this bondo goes. I was wondering about using a porta-power and pushing the piller OUT a little bit but I don't want to cause MORE of a problem.

damn tavis i knew it even with all the work you have into it now it would be easier to replace the cab b4 you get the floor all welded up

tavis call me asap man i dont want to list the cl ad here but guy said he would take 100 bucks for the whole truck
shaved doors tailgate the whole bit no title but for a bill man

call me man

complete interior as well...might be a good score for you

That sucks about the cab, but that looks bitchin. The standard cab bed looks really good on there

You can fix that cab but you need to actually fix the sheet metal before you worry about the bondo. If you fix it I would strip all the bondo out and off first so you know what you truly have. Then you can go about pulling the pillar and getting the structure straight. For the opposite side to have damage from a side hit you would have to get hit very hard, and by the passenger side lining up ok I would say you are ok. I have been in the body shop business, both in the shop and now as the shop manager, for over 20 years and you can "fix" anything with the right amount of knoweldge, time and money. You may look into the cab that toddluck is talking about. It would save you time I think ayway.......This has just been my opinion. Truck looks great and good luck.
