Re: Project '86
 

Do you have any pics of the pinch weld removal process? I'm interested in maybe doing this but I haven't seen anyone else's pics or explanation. Was it difficult? I know removing the pinch weld was the most difficult area of the firewall for me.

Your truck is coming out AAAAAAWWSOME. You are a man of many Talants.:metal:

Re: Project '86
 

I actually just rolled it under. Next time I have the cab off I need to do some clean up on it because it wasn't that easy to do on the ground and it could use a bit more straightening in some areas. Some parts of it were pretty stiff so I cut a few vertical slots so I was bending smaller pieces in those areas. If you do decide to actually cut it off then just cut a small amount at a time and tack it together. If you cut the whole thing off at once you will have a mess.

Trimmed the bottom off the driver side fender and started working on the fender lip. Finally had to give my buddy's wheels back so I am back on the 15's.

so did you only go suicide on the pass. side

Re: Project '86
 

ohh yea i just seen that ..whats up with that?

Re: Project '86
 

I am going to suicide the drivers side as well. Just haven't gotten to it yet.

Re: Project '86
 

i see you said you welded the cab mounts back on. Why were they removed in the first place? Was it to move them lower?

Re: Project '86
 

They are riveted on from the factory. In order to get the 2x4 tubing to lay flat in the frame I had to remove all the rivets. I could have drilled holes and bolted them back on but welding is easier. They were put back in the stock locations.

Re: Project '86
 

ahh thats what i thought. I didnt think they had to be moved to lay the rocker. Lookin clean bro. Cant wait to start on mine. Keep it up

Yea, I would park stuff out front when trying to sell it. You probably saw my '74 Nova, my bagged extended cab, or the 2 door tahoe.:D

Going to mount the air tanks and start plumbing today if the rain holds off so hopefully I will have updates by the weekend.

Re: Project '86
 

Sweet shirt..

Re: Project '86
 

Kicked around a lot of ideas as to where to mount my tanks and finally decided the only place they would really fit is behind the rear wheels. Might need to make some shields to block anything coming off the rear wheels but that won't be hard.
