I finally was able to get to a point to get the '50 cab (or so I was told) out of the trailer and in the shop to start working on it. The PO before my brother-in-law used it on a “rat rod” and cut a hole front to back for the driveline. I needed to get this secured and level, then patch it up. I was going to need to raise the floor under the seat anyways for driveline clearance for the kit. So got that done.
After doing that, I got a toe board patch and used what I needed for the passengers side. There was an inch of brazing on the inner kick panel, so cut out the rot and made a patch to fit (not that fun). Patched the seat frame, front and back, and welded the a piece from the toe board patch panel to replace the trans tunnel mount lip that was cut out. Not pictured in the rear can brace was cut and I caved that back to support the rear of the cab (not my best work).
The trans tunnel I got didn’t have a flange on it for the firewall and upper toe board so I made one. I also made a flange on the firewall and drilled it for 1/4 bolts to make it removable. Took more work but should be helpful in the future. Need to get that cleaned up and nuts welded on the firewall flange to make it easier for removing and installing.
