Ok windshield is staying in then lol. if it cracks it cracks while the floor is cut out, but sounds like i dont wanna spend a day wrastlin with it. Rear has to come out for sure as the cab will be on its back.
and no mine is not a slider, dont know how to start with it tbh.
yesterday sold my tailgate for 100 bucks, and might be sellin my bed for 150 to the same guy. He had an 06 crewcab so i peeped at the rear cab mounts. Looks if i modify the underside seat rail a little bit shouldnt be an issue to place hte cab mounts there. Just gotta double check my heights so the cab doens tend up tilted forward or something.
As i mentioned earlier I am building a subframe for the cab floor. The point of this is because, well..theyre not much left to even weld on to. I replaced 2 years ago the driver side rocker panel with a nice sheetmetal C channel, and fabbed nbew A B and C pillars, so I will do the same to the other side. Theis C channel will be welded to my subframe as well which will be the main frame of the cab. 6 plates mounted on the inside where the bodymount bolts will go thru. 3 sets of cross ribs, and 2 sets of fore-aft ribs. using 1x1 square tube for this, dont remeber how thick but its nothing crazy, doesnt need to be beefed like the flatbed.
The rear area under the glass is toast, so thats getting all cut out about 6 inches under the rear glass. using a flat bar to tie the new and old sheet metal together, and that will probably tie into my subframe too.
I know my seatbelt brakcets are probably holding onto a thread of rust, so those will be welded to the frame as well.
Using L channel to made the new seat rail brackets. Firewall is actually clean surprisingly. and damn, the whoel AC condenser and heater box is TOO damn big. Looks so much better without that thing in the engine bay.
here is my technical drawing of my subframe.

After i remove the rear glass I will attempt to sandblast the underbelly of the cab. Hoping the home depot medium grit mason sand and the HF 50lb hopper work well.
Need to do an oil change on my DD and pressure wash the driveway first as i merked it yesterday.
