Re: 69 K10 From the Field
Started on getting the rocker installed this morning by getting out the engine hoist to use as a method for hanging the door so I could adjust the rocker for a proper fit. After about four tries I got the door mounted back in the old location that I marked before taking off. Got the rocker mounted and one screw at each end for temporary mounting. then worked both corners with a pick hammer to get it to fit closer to the body locations needed. Drilled a few spot holes and began welding. Next on to grinding the welds, and filler work on rocker and cab trim holes that i also got welded this morning.
While filler was drying I removed the back window. The window opening looked almost brand new on the sides and top, and had three location where there was a little pitting of rust. i will grind out those locations and just spot weld and grind to fix.
Man cant tell you how happy I am with this cart I built last summer. It is so easy to move around in the shop depending on where I need lighting or even roll it out on the driveway when the weather is right. One really big plus for this cart is the working height for me. I can sit on a chair and work rockers or when standing everything is at the right height for me to work comfortably.
