The dash is all original as well as the gauges,I will have an overhead consul for radios and aux switches stereo etc.

Its been a while since I have had time to work on the truck but I have had time to do more research on the best plan to move foreword on some of the head scratches. 1.Spray foam interior structure (Home Depot sells a spray foam kit) 2.Covering spray foam interior panels (Light gauge raised...

All the glass is custom cut safety laminate glass with the side and rear pieces smoke and windshield green tint.I regret not making the corners a larger radius so the rubbers would fit easier.The windshield glass is the same size as the rear windows so If I have a spare windshield it will fit...

The cab steel is 1/8.I used it because it is more supportive to bolt items to and doesn't warp as bad as lighter metals with welding and cutting.

All of the Peterbilt doors are the same or similar as I recall. It takes a lot of work to remove them from the old cab and the cab is pretty much destroyed afterward but in the long run used ones are cheaper if you price all the individual pieces.

Managed to get the doors in on my last days off from my money making job. Thanks everyone for your moral support.

Drivers side air pipe with extension. I'm good for another couple feet of fording depth.:D

That's funny :-D actually its none of those things nor is it an old style key hole for the door lock. It's the marker light hole.I scored some OEM marker lights.

Busy days off from my regular job.With a lot of help got the cab and picker all blasted off. We installed the spare tire and tow bar on the roof. Got the cab primed with Endura inside and out and then got the Olive drab on all the new stuff.Next days off paint all the accessories and install...

Thank you Csm Davis

Anyone have a good idea what seats would be nice in here.Thinking I want air ride.Also what would be a good aux heater system or would a combo ac/heat system be available. One last question what would be a good wiper system to install preferably 24v.

The door frames are a great idea I think but man what a job to remove them and pretty much wrecks the Pete cab doing so.I later found out you can buy them for $600.00 each new.I parted out the Pete so the door frames and doors ended up being free.

You are correct they are Pete doors complete with mirrors. Thanks for your interest.

Making great progress with the cab.Things are falling together just as the should. Not much at this point can be a problem. lots of welding fitting and assembly left. I have some creative ideas to add that will make people ask questions.

Well its finally time to build the 5 Ton het. Got the cab all stripped down today and started the frame structure. Got a good plan together and now just time and welding to complete.
