Re: '72 chevrolet c20 custom camper build "Craig"
 

got the cab corner and rocker tacked up. also got the door shutting like new

Re: '72 chevrolet c20 custom camper build "Craig"
 

Aw shucks. I was hoping you'd make the cab corner out of the barrel, too;)

Just finally got around to going through your thread here. Looks great! I really struggled with my LMC cab corners getting them to fit right, and had to do lots of hammer work on the rockers, too.

Nothing like a nice closing door. I don't know if you are doing it or not, but you can drill an alignment hole through the hinges into the a-pillar once you get it working perfectly so when you remove it later you can line it back up using the drill bit or equally sized rod. Got that idea from Mr. Duckworth for mine.

Can't get over the fact that I'm not looking at pictures of Mustard when going through your thread. Sort of surreal.

Keep it up!

Re: '72 chevrolet c20 custom camper build "Craig"
 

Nice work Dean! Its a real challenge to get everything lined up right, but you did a nice job.

Funny you mention that Nick, because I was searching my drivers side door pillar the other day for my door alignment holes and I guess I forgot to drill them in. lol

Re: '72 chevrolet c20 custom camper build "Craig"
 

alright guys, so today i was able to finish up the drivers side. im calling it finished on that side. exept finishing touches(i lost my seam sealer so that will have to wait, also i need to clean up the welds underneath but that will wait too) thrue on some rattle can etching primer to hold it over until i can put the real stuff on

Re: '72 chevrolet c20 custom camper build "Craig"
 

i cant get over how clean the frame is! i may only sandblast areas where neccecary

Re: '72 chevrolet c20 custom camper build "Craig"
 

also picked up this good old craftsman 220 3hp 30gal compressor for 50 bucks. hoping i can shoot some primer with it

Re: '72 chevrolet c20 custom camper build "Craig"
 

its a two stage

Re: '72 chevrolet c20 custom camper build "Craig"
 

now the WHOLE other side!!!:dohh: lol oh well thats all part of the fun:metal:

Re: '72 chevrolet c20 custom camper build "Craig"
 

So the first side was just a warm up.... LOL!

Nice compressor, i need a dual stage, i was stupid and listened to the ass sales guy at sears, he talked me out of it, said look at the Scfm ratings,what are you using it for? you'll be fine, Bla Bla Bla..... Long story short every time i pull a trigger on my die grinder it fires up and runs non stop...

Re: '72 chevrolet c20 custom camper build "Craig"
 

lol yup just a warm up.

yeah the dual stages are nice...especially the cast iron oil kind like this. they are MUCH quieter and last longer. what size is yours?

Re: '72 chevrolet c20 custom camper build "Craig"
 

Mine would be the very noisy discontinued model of this one, I had to pull the cover off for a recall and they sent me a new cover, guess some were over heating, it was exactly the same as the cover i took off except it had none of the compressor info on it so i threw the replacement housing in the trash and kept the old one with the info. I was amazed because i looked at the size and stroke of the piston, it was about 1.25 diameter, stroke of about 1".. cheesy as hell..

Re: '72 chevrolet c20 custom camper build "Craig"
 

Very nice progress Dean. The driver side looks really good. Half way down. Nice score on the compressor!
