Here are some shots of the truck in the tear down stages..
They really are pointing out the Rotted Floors,kick pan's on both sides of the cab. I also found alot of rot in the rockers (inner & outer) and all the cab braces....So I will have my fun cut out for me on the metal work :b69: |
Re: Blake's 67 GMC stepside build

Here are some updates for today...
Pic #1. drivers side inner & outer rocker,kick panel and cab brace. Pic #2. same for passenger side with the floor pan as well.. Pic #3. The drivers side inner/outer removed.. Pic #4. The floor after the pan was cut out.. Pic #5. Fitting the rocker.. Any of the under lying metal that was still solid will be coated in (Eastwood Rust Encapsulator) This stuff work's really well and you don't have to wait 24hrs for it to fully cure.. Mark... |
Re: Blake's 67 GMC stepside build

I wont bore you guys with ALL the rust repair here is the last of the floor work on passenger side.
Pic #1. This is a section that was bad so I made my own patch for this. The rest of the floor is very solid so it did not need to be replaced. Pic #2. The cab removed... Pic #3. The engine/trans out.. Pic #4. After it came back from sand blasting.. Pic #5. Shows the front end better. (this is the 73-87 components) witch were installed years ago... |
Re: Blake's 67 GMC stepside build
Nice work on the floor Mark! Blasting sure cleaned the frame. Do you do your own?
|
Re: Blake's 67 GMC stepside build
No.. I take all my stuff to a local guy and they charge about $75.00 and I have it back in a few hrs!! No mess, no fuss lol
