- 3 different manufacturers. Ford made one of the styles
If I remember, approximately, there is a formed section welded in between the two high points of two cabs.
The form (rounded) section is straight from the front cab section to the back section and curved left to right. I have invested hundreds of hours in trying to come up with a less complicated solution for a crewcab for this model. As it is, some slack-jaw used a heavy object to bash in the back of the cab, just above the rear window. A suggestion was made, "This was to make room for a safety bar install."
The factory build is more complicated than a simple description can adequately describe.
The floor has a formed and welded in section. My cab is a three door. This was done to give more stability to the cab for mining and forestry rough driving. The door behind the driver is welded in. The roll-up window works.
I have had thoughts of converting the cab to a 4 door. This may as difficult as adding hinges and a door catch system, I have many sets. This crewcab arrived with both door styles. The later doors had taller side openings. The body lines of both door styles match. I wonder if the later "S" doors might fit?????????
One of the must do situations, on this crewcab, is to repair the damage above the rear window. I have a few rear cab sections with the twindows. At first look, this appears easy enough. The cab is double wall enclosed at the back. However the fix is done, the cab will have to be taken apart, and rewelded. This is where I think a two window change, as a cab section, will make the repair a little easier,
not easy. If I get far enough for paint, I will have a Tremclad (Rustoleum) plain colour.
