Re: Daddyjeep Hauler - 85 K30 crew cab short bed
I actually spent a little time on the truck today finally. I ran out of mig wire so i didn't get nearly as much done as i wanted. I started by finally making a shelf for my HF tool cart so i can hang the welder off the side instead of underneath.
http://i15.photobucket.com/albums/a3...008_185010.jpg Since I didn't have much wire I only got the one filler piece welded in for the rear rocker. http://i15.photobucket.com/albums/a3...008_185028.jpg I then spent an hour or two grinding down welds from the last time i did some work. The rockers are ready for body work with the exception of the last filler piece around the B pillar. http://i15.photobucket.com/albums/a3...185043_001.jpg |

Re: Daddyjeep Hauler - 85 K30 crew cab short bed
Thanks guys. I just wish I had more done. Too many projects keep getting in the way. I cooked at the dirt track race last weekend and of course didn't make nearly as much money as I wanted to. I have to help one of my kids put a clutch in his Jeep tomorrow night. Then I can get back to the truck.
This is a pretty bad picture, but a really cool truck. [IMG]http://i15.photobucket.com/albums/a3...014_184315.jpg[/IMG] We had a really cool old race car parked beside the tent. [IMG]http://i15.photobucket.com/albums/a3...015_130210.jpg[/IMG] |
Re: Daddyjeep Hauler - 85 K30 crew cab short bed
I drug home another project over the weekend. This one cost me $0...so far. I have some rust issues to deal with on the tongue ans some crappy welds to clean up and reinforce. Then I have to cut the I beams off the floor and put a proper deck on it. It will serve my needs after a little TLC.

Re: Daddyjeep Hauler - 85 K30 crew cab short bed
Sorry to hear about not making as much as you'd like to. It seems to go that way a lot and makes it rough. Nice free new project though! That is a sweet wedge back too!

Re: Daddyjeep Hauler - 85 K30 crew cab short bed
I like the free part of the project. Are you planning on mounting your smoker to it?

Re: Daddyjeep Hauler - 85 K30 crew cab short bed
I got the trailer stripped of the rotted floor boards and I beams for where the tires go. The guy who originall built the trailer did some decent welds, but the last guy who modified it needs his welder taken away. Most of his welds were chiseled off. I need to get me some diamond plate and build me some proper floors.
[IMG]http://i15.photobucket.com/albums/a3...028_231913.jpg[/IMG] I even got back to work on the truck. I finished modifying the rocker for the rear door and patched the last piece of floor behind the B pillar. I just need to burn in the cab corner and start body work.

And, cab corner welded in. I have to knock down the welds, but I had a productive day. I even carved pumpkins with the kids.

Re: Daddyjeep Hauler - 85 K30 crew cab short bed
Well, Another weekend with no work on the truck. We did get my son's Sousaphone finished up and ready for him to Play at Pearl Harbor next month. Now we need to build a new case for it so it fits on the plane.

Re: Daddyjeep Hauler - 85 K30 crew cab short bed
I like that look, it definitely will stand out in the crowd. Oh, the truck is looking good too. :metal:

Re: Daddyjeep Hauler - 85 K30 crew cab short bed
Wow! Way to color inside the lines!

Re: Daddyjeep Hauler - 85 K30 crew cab short bed
Nice metal work, but that sousaphone looks awesome! That is a really awesome thing for your son to get to play at Pearl Harbor. So awesome! Congrats to him.

Re: Daddyjeep Hauler - 85 K30 crew cab short bed
How did your cut driveshatft work out? Did you drive it far enough to notice any vibrations? Did you balance it yourself?
