Brilliant Charlie, quite the engineering feat, I haven’t given up on you Charlie, just haven’t had a lot of time to watch videos lately, keep up the good work, talk soon friend
That is quite an elaborate system to remove the cab. I have a 37 Chev PU and I remove the cab by myself many times. I simply made a frame that fit against the top of the door openings out of lumber with a solid piece across the center. I use my engine hoist to lift it. I picked it a few times to find the center of gravity and marked that spot. now I can go in and pick it in a minute. A rolling frame to set it on would be nice but if I do make one, it won't be more than 12" high.
Hey, I get what you're saying. I had that as an option but I went with what was easiest and best for me at the time with the space available. I feel like it works pretty well.
@@EnglishCharlie I'm guessing I have a bit more room to work in. My garage is 28'x34'. we do park our daily drivers in it but I can move mine out to make more space to work. But at the end of the day I bring it back in. I have plenty of room in front of the 37 for the cab. I have a 8'x20' car hauling trailer that I'm presently using to store parts I don't need around taking up space.
@@adubbelde1 yes indeed we do what we have to! Something else that occured to me is I didn't have any timber or chop saw for it at the unit so adapting that table and using the hydraulic lift worked super well. I like the sound of your pick up I do like the earlier ones.
@@EnglishCharlie Thanks. I fell in love with the 37 when I was in High School. A week after I graduated I was visiting an Aunt and Uncle on a farm in Eastern South Dakota. I looked out in the pasture and there sat a 37. I worked with my cousin and we got it running (this was 1968). We drove it though the clutch was slipping badly and it didn't run that well. I wanted it then but it was to be my cousins. Unfortunately he was killed by a sleeping truck driver a decade later. It took a while but after another decade my Aunt asked if I still wanted it. I've had it since 87. I was working on it with my father and he died suddenly and I lost interest. Lots of other life things got in my way but I'm now taking it to the finish line.
The nearest McDonalds is an hour away. Probably for the best :). We're going to Las Vegas Nevada on the 21st. We leave very early in the morning so we like to stop for breakfast. There are no good options that are close unless we go a little out of our way. The next large town we hit is Caspar Wyoming and that's over 3 hours away.
Luke is cracking on nicely with the body work, proud dad. The lift went really smoothly.
Thanks Charlie, yep, went well!

Thanks for such kind words! Speak soon!
@@EnglishCharlie yes Charlie I will be watching your latest video tomorrow morning

@@adubbelde1 that's quite the story to go with that truck, understandable how is gone! I'd love to see a picture of it.
Good to see Luke involved buddy!
He loved it! Thanks for your help!
Looking good! Nice Progress.
