- In this video watch as I make custom fabricated body mounts to mount the 1978 F250 Cab onto the new 2018 Ram 2500 Chassis.
You will watch the step by step process as I cut, drill, shape and, weld sheet metal into body mounts to officially mount this cab to the chassis.
Luckily the cab itself required minimal work to clearance the frame rails and the chassis was already pretty close to lining up to the existing cab mounts. With a little work we have the majority of the body installed and it is starting to look like a truck again!
Solid work! Keep it up
Thanks man! Hope everything has been going well for you! been a LONG time since we talked. You going to the 10yr?
@@barnbuiltbeaters if there is one then yes. I’m still messing with old fords so I can’t complain lol.
@TheOneStopPonyShop I've wanted to go but always out of town for Thanksgiving. Would be curious where people ended up, the jobs they are doing and, how they changed better or worse.
If you like wrenching on old Fords I know of one that needs alot of work! 😉
I commend you on the use of hand tools to fabricate the mounts. Especially the wrist breaker. Not me.
Haha it was a little sketchy! I just made sure to take my time with it. What would you have used?
@@barnbuiltbeaters My cnc plasma table.
@tjs_welding_and_fabrication guess what the next video is going to be about haha! Just waiting on metal and every so slowly 3D printing parts for it!
@barnbuiltbeaters I have some vids on building my table years back. Best thing I ever did. I use it for just about every project I do.

I will have to take a look at your vids! I am/will be building a JD Garage CNC table. Not having the budget, nor the need, for a professional table I figured this would float me by until I can upgrade in the future. I am assuming itll play a critical role in my build(s)
