DRTYRAT30 · 01-01-2012, 09:20 PM

Been gone awhile, working a lot of hours at my work and helping build some local cars for friends. But my New Years resolution is to get this thing in color and use my new Truck in the background to trailer my 63' down to So-Cal & Pheonix this year for some shows. And drive it around to local shows here.

This bed had 26 holes to weld up from P/O's tie down hooks hidden with bondo.

My new Chevy in the back.

Both lower fenders have small rust holes filled with bondo, I have already patch them since these pictures. Both doors have a few small holes also that i will be welding/patching up soon also.

Beds not done just welded in a inner frame and cut down stock fender wells and installed. sheeted it with some sealed wood but will trim it out with some Bamboo after its painted inside.

I hate body&paint work wish i would of found a clean patina or painted truck to start with, i would be done already....

Well i hope to start moving fast again now so should be posting up more progress pics.

Thanks, Jesse

DRTYRAT30 · 07-07-2010, 08:21 PM

I'm going to have to tell the wife to stop taking pics below the knees of me, i'm getting picked apart on the shop attire. Besides its the only way i can get my white legs tan welding

Thanks for the concern and truck comments

very cool build can't wait to see more on it

Preacherman5555 · 07-09-2010, 02:02 PM

That 54 is sweet. very nice work my friend.

ratty 46 · 07-09-2010, 06:34 PM

Ahhhhhhh ... don't wory about the footwear .... My favorite welding shoes are a pair of "CROC" flip-flops. I've got more burns in my ankle foot area from slag & aluminum that I care to count. Now ... it hits my foot & bounces off. Very little damage.

Keep up the good work.

Do it, if you don't its like buying new shoes and using your old laces. They are top notch products, you won't be disappointed. Perfect fit & finish

**Dieselwrencher** · 07-20-2010, 03:02 PM

Very nice! That looks too nice to put sheet metal around.

DRTYRAT30 · 07-23-2010, 09:53 PM

Converted the stock column steering shaft to a 3/4 DD. It turned out great with no slop and a tight fit.

I'm running a 3/4DD-3/4DD to 3/4DD-9/16 26spl. on the FR1503 manual rack.

DRTYRAT30 · 07-30-2010, 07:39 PM

I got the steering all hooked up and motor mounts in. Pushed the truck out turned it around and pushed it back in for the rear now.

ratty 46 · 07-30-2010, 10:23 PM

Ah .... the ass-end. If it turns out as well & as clean as the front .... I building one of these too!!

You guessing on the steering right now or have you mocked up a block, head & exhaust??

Nice job so far.
