Is there any information available on cab wood dimensions for a 6 Speed Special? I remember from several years ago Jackiedog29 was building a cab. I did not know if he had some sort of blueprint to go off of or if it was mostly guesswork.

The late JD (R.I.P) made his own cab up using the original as a template it is ready for the sheet metal to go on and im sure Lewis, Kathy & Wendy will see it finished in memory of Al.

I have got these pictures which were posted on the old site before it crashed hope they help.

Sure glad you had saved those before the other site crashed!! If I ever get to the B-3 I will see if these are not the same or close to it.

Based on my recollection, they look VERY close to my B-3. In fact, the floor drawings look VERY close to my C series as well.
Just wonderful. Where else are you going to find this?
