1967 Chevy C10 Buildup - Wiper Cowl

4. What steps did you take to get the original cab ready to have the rood removed?

5. Taking a look at Dale cutting out the B-pillar pocket from the C1500, what other pieces were used from the newer cab to make the transformation complete?

6. After resting the newer roof on the '67 cab, did anything pop up that surprised you, or did the install go pretty smoothly? For instance, I noticed on the base of the newer A-pillar and the '67 cab didn't line up perfectly because of the mounting holes for the doors.

7. The B-pillar looks like it rolled off the factory assembly line mounted to the older cab.

8. Was it as easy as it looks out back?

9. What mods did you have do for the back cab wall?

10. Taking a look at the '90 roof on the '67 cab, it sure looks like they belong together, with the exception of the wiper cowl—there's a big, unnatural gap there. How are you going to remedy that?

11. Why did you opt to keep the roof its factory dimension rather than cutting it to fit the '67 C10 doors/floor? How much did you have to add to the doors to use the factory '90 glass and weatherstripping?

12. Wow, it sure looks awesome with the doors stretched and bolted in place. Were you surprised at how well the final combo looked together?

We also had to create a track system in the C10 cab so that when we stretched it 5 inches it would still stay square.

We pretty much used everything from the bottom of the windows up: 4 stock windows, moldings, and interior pieces.

For as intense of a modification as this was, it was surprisingly simple. Obviously some areas did not go together completely perfect, but most of the door jam areas were pretty smooth.

Man, you're making me give up all my secrets, just kidding. The rear section of the '67 cab is 1-inch longer than the rear section of the '90, so we cut the rear part of the '67 cab to fit.

The rear part of the '67 cab also tapers horizontally, so when we sectioned 1-inch out of it we also had to stretch the back wall 1/4-inch to fit it properly.

The radius on each rounded corner (of each cab) was different, so we pie-cut into each one of them to make the rounds match.

The gap look to be so big because the window is pushed down into the cowl. The roof section is actually 2 1/2 inches lower than the stock '67 cab giving it a chopped look. The hood sits pretty tall compared to the wiper gutter. After building the wiper cowl, it made the gap not so obnoxious.

If you have ever driven an older truck, you would know just how uncomfortable it is. You can’t cruise if you're not comfortable. Stretching the cab 5 inches added lots of additional room to the stock cab and allowed us to use all of the stock '90 glass. This is a full-blown custom truck, but if you happen to crack a window from a rock chip, it will only cost about $200 to replace it—not $1,500 for a custom piece. With the cab being stretched 5 inches, the door also had to get stretched. Typically when we chop a top, we like to shorten the bed to correct the overall proportions of the vehicle. We took 6 inches out of the front of the bed and used that material to stretch the doors. The wheelbase of the truck remained stock.

After stretching the doors, it gave the truck a real sleek look; it looked like long doors off of a two-door coupe. The cab came out beautifully— better than what I had imagined and better than the rendering.
