Re: 69 GMC "Ol' Blue"

tell you what mjensen, I just found your build thread and its been very helpful to me cause my cab is a DISASTER! ALL my cab supports are demolished by rust. If i didint know that my truck was supposed to have cab supports i wouldnt have been able to see where the need to be thats how bad they are rusted out. Also my cab corners and rocker and floor panel are junk. So i got a feeling that i'll feel like i'll be makin a career from the cab corners down on the cab as well. BUT your thread is a nice thing to read an i really like your progress, taking your time and doing it right!

Thanks LeatherMan! I've seen some threads on here that just amaze me to no end what they're able to do with the rust repairs. A really great thread that I came across was "Project Jezebel" by sgaylord, he has done some serious repairs on that cab and it turned out great (http://67-72chevytrucks.com/vboard/s...d.php?t=342284)

Re: 69 GMC "Ol' Blue"

I did do a little work today (real little), and you experienced folks can't laugh

I had to build a brace to go around the rear cab support from some poor measuring on my part. I also made a very scary cut for the cab corner.

First scary cut because people will be able to see it
