So, a few months ago I was driving along, minding my own business, when this 1950 Chevy 1.5 ton dump followed me home. It actually ran pretty well and drove OK, except that the cab floor was so rusty that the forward cab mounts didn't do anything. The cab had sunk down so that the pedals were hard to operate as they drug on the toeboard. The cab tilted one way or the other as you went around curves ... pretty un-nerving...

So, I got new floorpans, new front cab support mounts, a bunch of sheet metal and went to work. I jacked up the cab and went to work.

During the first weekend, I got everything solid. The captions tell the story:

During the next weekend, I finished things up ... and this thing is like a new truck: it's quiet and solid. My goal is not a restoration ... just a good, useable dump truck. For that purpose, I think it came out really well:

Hopefully this is helpful to someone...
