Re: Johns66 15 year project.........

Here are the latest pictures of what is in primer. No work on the truck this week.

Drive the hour 1 1/2 hours from Waco to Austin to see my daughter. She had jaw surgery to close up some cracks she has from her cleft palet. Dell Children's doctor did the surgery, they pulled bone from her hip. She is home now and doing well. My wife stayed with her the two days she was there.

I am happy that your daughter got through her surgery okay and is home and doing fine. Kids and family always comes first, truck is coming along nice.

Got the front of the tailgate stripped, now in process of sanding.

Outside panel is decent inside panel looks like someone beat it with a ball pean hammer.

Now to sand, sand and sand, then repeat.

Re: Johns66 15 year project.........

It's been a busy few months sent oldest daughter to Dallas Baptist University in last fall. Moved my oldest son back to Dallas and middle son to Houston.

See picture of another bedside stripped going to epoxy.

Started putting a skim coat of filler on the doors last week.

I have to say that 3M 01131 is great filler. Does not clog the sandpaper and feathers nicely.

I am planning on going to the swap meet in Dallas in April and taking all my extra doors grill surrounds and bedsides.

Re: Johns66 15 year project.........

Got the 87 cross member bolted on and the Captainfab power steering bracket on.

A mechanic at work helped me get the Detroit Tru Trac with the new 3:73 gears installed.

Purchased a Mar K tailgate and had the back of the fenders, grill surround and cowl media blasted.

Getting ready to sand the cab and mock up the body panels. Also bought LMC bedsides when I found out the originals were full of bondo and just too worn out.

Re: Johns66 15 year project.........

Progress on the floor and kick panel rust repair. Not perfect but I will be putting down sound deadening and carpet. Have to finish the welding next weekend.

Thinking about welding the joint where the upper and lower firewall meet.

Re: Johns66 15 year project.........

Glad to see you are still at it.

I've had my '65 for almost 39 years. Started on getting it road worthy in 2010 after sitting around since 1998, then life got in the way again. Got it LS swapped in 2016/2017 but the trans went out. Sat again till 2021 when I put in a different LS combo and started down the road worthy goal again. This month, l got it inspected to tile/register it (never had it titled in Texas when I moved back here from Florida in 2002). Now it sits in my driveway because it kills batteries...

Re: Johns66 15 year project.........

The painters talked me out of a white top because the paint is a pearl tricoat.

Thanks to all on this board for the awesome info over the years that helped me get to where I am.
