excellent work !

NICK51 · 07-21-2011, 03:55 PM

how is the rear fender patch you made work with the fender supports? Just curious because I"m about to patch my rear fenders too..

Nsanehotrodz · 07-27-2011, 10:00 PM

Thanks guys I'm working on the how-to for the fender repair, it should be ready this week. We installed the Heidts front suspension, 4-link in the rear, everything else on the frame is custom built. I try to do each build different to change things up a bit and keep it interesting. Here are a few more pics...

Looks great!

Those gaps from the factory are something, aren't they. The tops of my doors near the front of the cab are actually kinda squared off, like the skins were folded over a piece at a time. I like how you're fixing it, vs. adding material to the door, very nice.

Yeah if I added metal to the door it would look crazy, by doing it this way the door keeps the same shape all the way around the top. The other side is not as bad as this side. I'll post more pics next week.

Here are a few more pics, we'll have the finished product Monday. The new drivers door should be here by Tuesday with the tailgate hinges running boards and filler panels. Most of the truck will be in primer within the next couple of weeks. DeWayne

Do you have any more pics of how the inner fenders attach to the firewall/body?

I didn't get a chance to get pics before we disassembled the front end. I'll get pics when we re-assemble the truck. DeWayne

Tuned55 · 08-04-2011, 08:39 PM

Nice work as usual Dewayne. You probably don't have a clue what you have taught me with all your post. Thanks!

ratty 46 · 08-04-2011, 09:54 PM

Are you going to correct the beltline raised area also or leave it alone?

Yeah that will be corrected. The entire back of the cab is being reworked, it should be finished tomorrow. We finished the hidden latch today and fitted the tailgate. More pics tomorrow.

Are you building new pieces to weld in around the door or adding material to existing pieces?

I am building new panels. It was fairly rusty around the driprail so I replaced all of the metal.

I rolled the completed frame out of the shop yesterday and wrapped a trap around it. I'm bumping some final dents and prepping for paint. I hope to have it on the raod real soon. Everything takes longer that I have in mind. I'm working in my shop full time now so with any luck I'll be on track.

Sounds like your having fun! Did you get that small dent out of the roof?

nebdrummer · 08-06-2011, 10:32 PM

Why do you have to post pictures like this?? MAN!!!! now im gonna get the itch to go crazy on mine now that im toying with it again. That door gap looks great!

BigDan3131 · 08-07-2011, 05:19 AM

So the owner is the one who wanted a 4 bar style rearend?

For anyone else, a 4 bar is NOT a 4 link setup. The 4 bar style is a street rodder thing and a true 4 link has multiple holes in the brackets to allow for greater adjustability and you can get them with poly bushing for a softer feel and the spherical rod ends for race.

Thanks for clearing that up.

Looks like you shaved the drip rail.

Do the doors on these trucks leak if you dont have the rail? want to take mine off but not if its going to leak.

I am actually having fun. As far as the small dent I've just about got it bumped out I needed a brake from all the metal bumping on this cab

I'll let you know when we wash it

. If all of the weatherstripping is in the right place it shouldn't leak.

Sounds like your almost ready for paint. Be sure to post plenty of pics.

Nsanehotrodz · 08-09-2011, 08:18 PM

More pics from this week. We fit the bed, running boards and filler panels. Only a few minor adjustments

and we're almost ready for epoxy. The passenger side will be finished tomorrow.
