Re: 1976 CCSB Duramax Project #trucknamedsue

The steering column finally came in. Beware ordering from IDIDIT. It will take WEEEEKS. but it does look nice when it comes in.


planning out my steering wheel angle sensor-


got the brake position sensor mounted in. studied the stock setup from the 2014 and mimicked it.

machined a pin for the brake arm.




welded to a plate to bolt to the arm.




everything fit up-




welded-


in the truck, clears the column and brake arm well.




and it works-


then I started working on the front fenders. I wanted to knock out some body work to keep it from piling up at the end.

I decided it was best to pull the fenders apart and take the skins off. Then I can fully blast and prime every surface and fix all the damage much easier.

separated-


nasty inside, and lots of damage.








fixed-


inside of the inner/outer, primed and blacked out with weld thru on the edges.




back together- took about 3 hrs to take apart, 3 hours to put back together, about 2 hours to fix all the damage plus blast and prime work. So no small feat.


I'm currently working on the passenger fender. Got it ripped apart and ready for blasting. And I'll be working on body work for the drivers.


Hope yall enjoy
