120" extra cab

Well, finally got a start on the other cab donated by Vern, for my 120, its become my spare time project, so it may not happen as rapid as the rest of them

I've started to extend the cab by 4"s the idea is enough room to fit my lanky body in, comfortable enough to drive it, no more, in other words, how they should of been built to start with

I make it look easy, but the old man will finish off the roof, I just get it to the almost finished stage, he does the "real" body work, I make'em go, he makes them look pretty

Sounds like a good arrangement.
The roof has put me off doing mine Make sure you get some pics of the skin graft. Will make a good machine when done.
