Sorry for my late response. I’m doing some work on the cab tomorrow and I will measure these up for you.

I’m not quite sure if my cab qualifies for the restoration forum since I haven’t decided what I plan to do internally.

Well I hate to make excuses but things have been a bit hectic in Houston lately. Currently my biggest problem is the weather. It seems like every day that I set aside some time to work on the cab it rains. Unfortunately I don’t have the garage space to work on the cab so my driveway is my work area. I don’t want to jinx it but I plan to bring the cab over to my friend’s house tomorrow to countersink the screws and set everything in place with wood glue and clamps. I will also be fabricating a new base. Hopefully I will be able to update with some new pics tomorrow.

Well I got some work into today as planned. Fabricated a new base and fixed the gap on the right side of the cabinet.

1. Cab all loaded up in the truck bed; notice the gap.

2. Decided to clamp it down before we removed the base.

3. The sophisticated base removal technique.

4. The Cab’s base removed.

5. The new fabricated pieces for the replacement base with the old base pieces.

6. One of the L sections of the base clamped down while the glue dried.

7. Had to sand some of the interior cabinet paint off so the glue would adhere.

8. Just a random shot of the cab before things started getting glued into place.

Today’s work continued...

9. This was actually kind of tricky because we had to glue the piece in hammer it down and roll the cab so we could apply the clamps.

10. The two L pieces being glued together to form the base.

11. This is probably the best pic of the screws after they were counter sunk. Not the greatest but you get the idea.

12. All the L brackets applied to the base piece.

13. The base piece reattached to the cabinet.

14. The cabinet back up on its feet with the new base.

I say for for the full restore. All of the parts are available. Get the DK2 Kit as well. But keep it origianl DK. Then buy a copy of The King Of Kong and be a proud DK owner.

And mame the AD cab.
