Re: My Crewcab Shortbed
Right on Chuck!!!
I'm glad you guys decided to keep it :metal: Quote:
Start a new thread, just remember, we love pics around here :) |
Re: My Crewcab Shortbed
Yeah I'm glad I kept it too. My wife isn't too sure with the state that it's in right now but once I start painting some stuff and putting it back together she will feel better about it. She really can't complain as the truck came from trading the mustang and the mustang came from some of my other wheelin and dealin lol. Anyways I got all the hardware stripped off of the firewall. Now I just gotta get the gunk cleaned off of it and then it'll be time to scuff and paint some stuff :)

Re: My Crewcab Shortbed
Thanks pball. I went and just picked up some paint for the dash, firewall, upper back wall, jambs, and the inner doors. The color is GM Precision Red. It came on the 05 corvettes. Didn't know that when the color was picked. Asked my wife to pick a red and that's the one she picked. When I got home I Googled the paint code to show y'all the color and that's when I found out it came on the corvette lol

Re: My Crewcab Shortbed
The stripe color for the two tone is going to be Tan from the same PPG line

Re: My Crewcab Shortbed
Going to be sick Chuck! Now get out there and start scuffing and painting. All this playing on the computer is going to get you nowhere! :lol: Cant wait to see it in color!

Re: My Crewcab Shortbed
thats going to look good! going to really pop!

Re: My Crewcab Shortbed
Thanks for the compliments and encouragement guys. It helps to motivate me. I got the firewall gunk cleaned and holy crap what a PITA that was. When I restore the blue and white truck I'm gonna pay someone to do that. 3 wire wheels and a half gallon of kerosene later it looks decent I guess. Still gotta scuff it up. We'll see how it looks after I give it a good scuffing lol. Anyways I also got the floor boards ready for some paint. Once I get some paint on them I can install the power harness for the doors in the cab. I also have to drill the holes in the jambs for the harnesses in the doors. Once I get that done I can scuff and paint the jambs. I'm also going to scuff and paint the upper rear cab wall and around insid of the back window frame and windshield frame. I don't want to have to go back and paint anything in the cab. The lower back cab wall will be covered in carpet and will have bigblock73's cab corner brackets in the corners.
Tomorrow my wife and I are taking the kids to the zoo for half the day in the morning. So hopefully when we get back I can start on scuffing and painting what I already have stripped or I can get the back window and windshield out and get the doors stripped. Here's some pics of my PITA firewall. Like I said I still need to scuff and paint so it's still got some work that needs to be done to it. http://i784.photobucket.com/albums/y...e/9961840b.jpg |
Re: My Crewcab Shortbed
Another pic from the other side
btw just so y'all know, the bracket where the master cylinder is going to get painted flat black. I am NOT going to even try to get that gunk off of there. So it's going to panted black as well as the M/C and the booster and the steering shaft. The frame may also get a little freshen up while I'm in there where some minute surface rust. There goes that snowball. Quick some catch it, stop it, lay down in front of it...someone do something :lol: http://i784.photobucket.com/albums/y...e/48225a80.jpg |
Re: My Crewcab Shortbed
Keep at it Chuck! Next time I'm in Columbia, I will want to come out and see it! :metal: BTW, I pick up my extended cab 85 next Monday ;) I'll start me, my own build thread!!!!!!!! :chevy:

Re: My Crewcab Shortbed
Lol shut up lol. I hear voices in my head telling me to tear into it more. It's already almost all the way there. Laura said if I take the cab off I have to buy here a used car now to replace the clown car. Not gonna happen lol. I gotta stay on track with this one. I really don't NEED to take the cab off even though I want to so bad lol
hopefully after the zoo this morning I can get the cab scuffed and painted. I can't wait to see some paint on this thing. Laura is bugging me to get out of bed right now lol so we can go to the zoo. I guess the sooner we go to the zoo the sooner I can get back and get dirty again |
Re: My Crewcab Shortbed
It would be so easy right now to lift the cab up for a day or so... You know it would. Get the cab off to the side, brush some new black paint on the frame, put some new bushings all over the place. Sure would make it ride better. :lol:
|
Re: My Crewcab Shortbed
If I had the money for new bushings AND a place where I could lift the cab up without Laura seeing it I would but I don't lol. Nice try fellas. I wiash I could it this go around but it ain't gonna happen y'all have seen my frame and under my cab. It's nice so I'm not worried about it. The back half of the frame will get some paint becuase the beds already off though

Re: My Crewcab Shortbed
Looking good man.

Re: My Crewcab Shortbed
Chuck, That's one clean cab. Did you get it from CA:lol:

Re: My Crewcab Shortbed
I actually have been looking for a crewcab to shorten for about two years and this one just happen to pop up 5 minute drive from my house. It wasn't for sale and my neighbor told me he knew a guy so we went and looked and I struck a deal
were at the zoo right now. I can't wait to get home and start on it again |
Re: My Crewcab Shortbed
