Removing the cab from my Silverado and gutting it to appease the cab swap "experts"

Рет қаралды 133,033

Жыл бұрын

Everyone that didn't watch the entire previous videos or understand how impossible it is to find a rust-free cab around me have told me it is much easier to just swap the cab. A few even accused me of not being able to handle a cab swap (apparently, they are new here). So now I will do everything that would have had to be done to swap the cab, just to paint it. Of course, we don't have to wait months for the state to retag it, but the experts didn't take that into account along with everything else. I'm starting to question if these people behind their keyboards that have never done any of this kind of work really are the experts they claim to be. LMAO The work in this video took less than 2 hours for those of you watching the clock.

I love the attention to detail. Not many people would strip the entire cab for paint. I would guess that most would simply mask off and give the standard $200 paint job. Thanks for setting a higher bar of expectations.

Why would you want (let alone _need)_ to strip the coatings that were applied in the best possible manner, at the factory? I would take the gloss off the original paint, wipe it down with solvent and spray away.

I did a heater core on one of these a while back before KZfaq tutorials were a big thing. It is possible for one person to get the HVAC assembly out with the dash and seats still in the vehicle. With the dash assembly unbolted (except the main bolts left partially screwed in on the driver side), the dash assembly will lift up and out just enough for the HVAC assembly to slide out through the floor board. I was pleasantly surprised at how easily it went.

Perhaps it will be no surprise that throttle cables, (and complex mechanical throttle linkages as an alternative), oil bath air filters, rod-brakes and a host of other almost forgotten, but largely unlamented automotive items, are not unknown to me.

It also drives me nuts when people take the easy way out and paint an engine bay that is supposed to be body color black unless that's the body color they are going with. And when they use more time and money in tape and masking than if they would just strip it down properly to begin with.
