Front emblem turned out great so I did the horn button.

Metaldoc · 04-11-2016, 08:43 PM

It's to bad my cig. lighter broke so on the hunt for one. A/C controls done and the rest of the under dash wiring. Shifter back out to paint and now to set the shifter rods and reverse switch. Not sure about my sticker on the ash tray, I might put it on the glove box door.

The rad was in good condition but looked like they installed it with a fork lift. 2 1/2 hours and it looks new again. Cleaned up the shop and got it ready to fit the box on so I can mount a gas filler tube. Rear tank to original cab post filler hole, should be fun. It's nice to open the shop doors.

Nice detail with the radiator. Fin straightening and paint? Your truck is looking great metal doc.

Metaldoc · 04-16-2016, 01:35 PM

The box is on and it looks right at home on there. Starting to come together and man is it a long truck. I love it that way.

Just curious, did you buy this truck off of Ebay and did it come from KS?

This truck came Wichita KS but I bought it from a guy in Ontario Canada. If you know the old owner Let him know his truck lives on. It had a Harley plate on the front when I got it and exterior is the same as it was when I bought it. One of the owners was the president of the first Mennonite church. Larry B. I bought it 3 years ago

I thought I recognized it. I sold it to the guy in Canada. He bought it off of Ebay from me. I am in Wichita. Glad to see the truck is in good hands and it looks like you're doing a good job with the restoration.

Metaldoc · 04-18-2016, 05:23 PM

This was the picture of it in the ad I bought it from .

Metaldoc · 04-18-2016, 07:57 PM

Well I started making the fuel filler from the original cab location to rear tank. I think it might just work.

dakattack7 · 04-19-2016, 01:06 AM

Thanks I'm lovin it myself and it will be done soon, waiting on parts.

Woa!!! Never thought of that. That's the only reason I have not moved my tank was the filler door issue.

The notch in the frame does that need/ wil you reinforce that or leave as is? I assume there's no real load there so not necessary?

Great job on your build!!!!

Very little force on the frame there and haven't cut more than 40% of the side height. I have never seen this done yet and the look I want. There is a hole through the cab now so it's on. Build it.
Thanks Derek

Metaldoc · 04-19-2016, 09:45 PM

It's a one piece unit, slides in the holes perfect. looks like factory but with rear tank. No way fumes are coming out of that. Just needs to be cleaned up and painted.

**Canuckvetter** · 04-20-2016, 12:14 AM

Nice progress Derek. Truck is looking killer.

Thanks I'm waiting on parts to get interior finished up, should be here this week. It's getting there.

downbytheriver · 04-20-2016, 12:28 PM

Awesome!

Metaldoc · 04-20-2016, 03:31 PM

Filler and air vent tubes made and painted. Put a coat of stone guard on it to blend in and stone hitting the pipe noise.

Metaldoc · 04-20-2016, 03:36 PM

Just got my axles in 500$ without studs, bearings, seals or 5 bolt drums. Canadian shopping sucks.

Metaldoc · 04-20-2016, 05:03 PM

Cab filler neck done now to find fuel line to fit it. I coaled it with stone guard to match my cab interior that I sprayed in for deadener.

Metaldoc · 04-22-2016, 03:13 PM

Got all the studs in the new axles. Painted them and the new 72 drums.
