Hi from Australia

Post by 67ozikingcab »

Hi Guys, have been checking your site out for awhile lots of great info. This is my 67 king cab work truck (aftermarket cab and chassis extension by canopy industries in Sydney, from new I think). It has F350 running gear Dana 70 etc and I've recently had the 302c rebuilt and stroked to 351. Lots more to do body etc pretty rough..

:wel: from northern California! I assume that conversion was done when the truck was new? More pictures would be appreciated. Thought I would be the first to ask for the pictures, because it is stand protocol on this site to ask.....

Thanks for the welcome here's another pic I'll get a few more through the week.. You'll notice the dodgy bog job on the cab extension - no welds all riveted then filled. Thats my next job... At this angle tray looks short but truck overall is about 6200mm long so around 20'.

Here's some interior pics. all the lining has been stripped hopefully won't be too long until I can put it back together. The cab extension (believed to be from new) is only stiched every foot with the window surrounds pop riveted in. So now we're about to cut the rear windows out fold up a new section of panel and weld back in. Then finish the join over the roof.
