just polish the driver side of the whole truck......from the left side it will be 'a nice driver' and from the right it will have the ' pantina look'.... you'll have the best of both worlds :ww:

Re: Hazel the older Sister....
 

Here's a few more pics from this weekends progress. Here's Keith getting started on the clean up. The frame on this truck is amazingly clean. In a couple of hours, he had the frame prepped...

Re: Hazel the older Sister....
 

A few more...

Even with a shop full of the very best Snap-On, Mac, Husky, and DeWalt have to offer, it still takes a LOT of effort to get those 40+ year old rivets out of the frame. This is the start of the pile that accumulated around the truck.

Re: Hazel the older Sister....
 

There are 16 holes that have to be drilled or enlarged. With a sharp bit and a Snap-On air drill, it still took a LOT of effort. It didn't help matters that it was 104 outside.

Re: Hazel the older Sister....
 

It was worth the effort in the end. With constant motivation from me and a large supply of water in the fridge, Keith made it through the day. I am determined to see this project ready for the Goodguys show in October if it kills Keith...;)

Re: Hazel the older Sister....
 

great progress guys..... Ken, glad you were able to keep keith motivated. May have to see if i can swing by the shop one day to check out the project(s) in person...

Keep up the inspiring work!

Heath

Re: Hazel the older Sister....
 

Nice progress! Wish I would've been in town to help. Man the roof! Dig it!

Re: Hazel the older Sister....
 

Well we see who really wants to get Keith's truck done....

Keith - She is looking good, I am making plans to get up to the GG show also with my boys, I know you can get it done with motivation from friends like Ken.

Re: Hazel the older Sister....
 

We'll see.... I've got a lot of stuff going on at work and I have a few trips ahead to support my job. Ken may be disappointed. :-)

Re: Hazel the older Sister....
 

Get a punch list going & I'll assist where needed.

Re: Hazel the older Sister....
 

Hey i have this same exact truck my grandfather drove for 25 years i am now restoring 67 swb big back glass, somewhere along the way we have lost the glove box lid (spid) i cant believe this happened anyway , is there any way you could send me a closeup picture or a copy of the spid label i think the only difference in our trucks is the color mine was black with red interior, i would sure appreciate it Thank you Mike Losh 1 479 599 9664

Re: Hazel the older Sister....
 

Appearently your not the only one that gets that impression. Keith has always been very generous about giving his buddies with post 72 trucks a ride in the show. This was my chance to return the favor and offer motivation and a little help.

Re: Hazel the older Sister....
 

I'll PM the spid to you in a few days when I get a chance to get back out there.

Nice words considering I treated you like an @ss today.....with that said I looked in the old mirror and didn't like the person looking back....I thought I had things back under control from a couple months ago but apparently I don't. I think I need to shelve this project and concentrate on the family for the next few months. Again, Ken I'm sorry for the words spoken this morning and I truly value your friendship and had no right to say those things.

Re: Hazel the older Sister....
 

Keith,

It takes a big person to admit when they are wrong. It's real easy to let these trucks and our projects consume us. Keep that FAITH Brotha'!

Re: Hazel the older Sister....
 

Keith & Ken are both class acts.

Keith, step back & take some time if needed. We could button up the suspension quickly to keep the truck mobile (it truely would do good as is @ GG's). If that option doesn't work . . .... I'll still be pushing forward & w/a little luck, I'll chauffer you in for once.

Re: Hazel the older Sister....
 

Anything I can help with in this direction let me know.

Re: Hazel the older Sister....
 

guys,
the truck is looking awsome. i only wish i had a smidgon of the talent & fortitude to do the same thing. as far as attitudes & friends go well i have been in the same boat (i think) & my true friends always understood & to this day are still my friends. i guess it is a texas thing... lol!! anyways while i was out there i was able to meet some very terrific guys & the truck bug is huge out there. by chance do any of you texas boys know a fella by the name of pat barnhard (spelling??) or maybe even a gerald parker ? i hung out with them while out there (dallas...well mesquite & garland areas) & was really impressed with pat's painting ability. just thought i would throw a penny or two in....

keep at it!!! & good luck...
thanks!

Re: Hazel the older Sister....
 

Keith, you are a class act yourself taking the time to put yourself out there like that here on the board. From what I see here, Ken will understand and you will be back on track in no time. We will be here for support anytime you need it.

Family first, the trucks will be around...Anyway, what you got done so far is looking good.

Re: Hazel the older Sister....
 

just checking to see if you had a chance to take a picture of the spid for me, i dont mean to bug you but this is one of the first trucks i have seen just like mine thanks MIke 1 479 599 9664

Re: Hazel the older Sister....
 

That is sweet! Now i know why i cant find one.......you buy them all!! :lol: Go ahead and drill the holes for the rear Dropmember while the beds off...it will save time later!;)

Re: Hazel the older Sister....
 

One last picture before I put it to bed for a while.......

Re: Hazel the older Sister....

Re: Hazel the older Sister....
 

You are 100% correct.........you know the numbers!

Re: Hazel the older Sister....
 

keith, Truck is looking good!
if you dont mind me asking where did you get the dolly's from. I have seen some at harbor freight, but just curious, where you picked those up from, and are those the same dollies that are supporting the jackstands in previous pics.

Thanks

Heath

Re: Hazel the older Sister....
 

Lookin' good Keith!

Re: Hazel the older Sister....
 

I picked them up at a local swap meet and they are the same ones that are supporting the jack-stands.

Re: Hazel the older Sister....
 

Thanks for the info bro...

Re: Hazel the older Sister....
 

Here you go 67cheby, sorry it took so long...and the poor quality! I tried several angles, flash on, flash off and got the same.... I'll try again with a different camara

Re: Hazel the older Sister....
 

I've been trying to figure this one out w/o publicizing anything. Tonight, for some reason ;), it hit me. Just for you, my 'latest' project now has a female name.....


























STELLA . . .......

Re: Hazel the older Sister....
 

Perfect name! ........here's a picture for you.....the pull tab tells you how old it is .... ;)

Re: Hazel the older Sister....
 

I think I too may have this can! Great name Scoti!

Re: Hazel the older Sister....
 

Here's a pic for you 2WD guys, I saw this fancy rearend at the Carlisle show last weekend. It was on a 72 truck...

Re: Hazel the older Sister....
 

I don't think we have a flat enough road to drive that on here:D

Re: Hazel the older Sister....
 

man that hurts my head thinking bout how that works, and how well it would work....?????:confused:

Re: Hazel the older Sister....
 

Looks like the shocks "lay down" when the bags "air up". I'm pretty sure that won't work.

Re: Hazel the older Sister....
 

Looks like it'll work to me.

Re: Hazel the older Sister....
 

Guy's (SCOTI/n2billet), I think Heath was able to pull the information you might need in relation to the KYB shocks. Check it out...

Re: Hazel the older Sister....
