"C" cab

Has anyone built there "C" cab body from scratch? If you did can you please send me some pix's or some plans? I am thinking on building my body. 1500.00 a pop is way out of my budget.

There is a member on the Spirit forum who built one from scratch. His screen name is: Rotten. Perhaps you could ask him for advice. You'll need to join their site to PM him. He has pics in the Gallery there.

Go to http://rotten4x4.tripod.com it is completly out of metal and would take some time to build.

mine is all steel as well.
First I built a 'cardboard' body to get the proportions right.
Then a 3/4 light gauge box frame and skin'd it with 18gauge steel, hand bent the bulkhead and made a tube frame for the roof nad covered that to look like a canvas roof.
all up cost was around 200 sorry $400 to you...

 

I am just starting to build a C-cab myself.
I was lucky enough to "acquire" a steel original cab.
its a little rough in a few spots, but then again, so am I

I'm using an older TP frame. got a little stuff for the front end. I-beam axle, econoline spindles, etc. 8.8" rear w/3.73 gears and a limited slip

Digger...That's sweet! It reminds me of Barris' Surf Woody. Very cool!

Hey tfever...Ya think we found cboy's UK counter part?

Digger it's great to see how you guys do it across the pond. That's some good lookin' work!
