Rebuild of AT4114

Floor fabbing and welding look very neat. Also look at finding where water was getting in to keep things as dry as you can. Even with best paint on there damp floors under mat/carpet will rust in no time

Bryant,
Are you staying with the bench seat or are you fitting bucket seats? I got the seat bases out of the original cab and had them welded in beside the existing ones to make it easy to fit bucket seats. Mate that is a top job. Looking forward to seeing the end result.

Cheers. Mac.

Bryant, hartop's got a good point. What's it like under the dash, around the vents? (while you can still flip the cab around....)

Jarrod.

PS: nice detail with the floormat retainers at the sides of the floorpans - not many still have those.

Hi Mac I'm staying with the bench seat but your bucket seat mounting job is a top idea it looks like its been factory fitted can't wait until my cab looks as nice as yours hi hardtop both yourself and jarrod are correct the majority of the water leaks are from dried out seam sealer that runs the length of the plenum chamber I will be cleaning out the old sealer cleaning up the joins rust profing and re seam sealing the whole show thanks for your positive feedback chaps regards Bryant

Another small update the floor pans are done apart from spot welding the mat retainers to both door openings once the red oxide apoxy has dried I will be spraying the pans in body Shultz and a top coat of body colour , The underside will be painted and the cab will be put back on the chassis before winter hopefully cheers Bryant

no more flinstone's floor Bryant, what paint are you using acrylic or enamel. top job nice and neat.

Yer Boris no more pedal power for the paint finish I'm using 2 PAC inside and out thanks for the words of encouragement mate cheers Bryant

Quick update I've managed with some help to tip the cab on end so I can clean up the welds and smooth the joins out with some fiberglass filler ready for a coat of epoxy gloss black also I've repaired the rust issue at the base of the drivers side bottom door hinge area as it was full of mud and the drain hole was blocked plan is to get the cab back on the chassis within the next 2 weeks cheers Bryant

g day Bryant, how's the rest of your cab for rust. I stripped back my roof last week, had a inch of bog in the back corners, looks like the face of the moon, someone has flogged the sh$t out of it with a ballpein. my arms are copping a flogging with hammer and dolly.cheers boris.

Hey Boris the rest of the cab is 95% rust free apart from the RH rear cab corner but it's only minor . I looked at a lot of dodges before I brought my first and most were complete rust buckets . I see your in QBN I'm in your neck of the woods I've got a few mates local that are rebuilding AT4s & D5ns will have to catch up one day and talk dodge cheers Bryant
