Re: '69 Longbed Daily Driver - Project

, i've been considering a small step notch. nothing crazy, just enough so that i can get the truck to sit level when aired out, or so that the rear bags bottom out. Either way, I want to find a steel floor for my bed and raise it 4 inches or so. Right now the wood over my pumpkin bubbles up when i air it out.

Oh, and i do have my list of body work items for this winter finalized. These are in order of how i plan to do them:
  1. 68 Clip
  2. Get Driver door to hang right - sticks out at the bottom a 3/8"
  3. Shave rear cab seams
  4. Cab corners
  5. Patch panel on driver side rear wheel well
  6. Shave gas filler
  7. Shave stake holes
  8. New front windshield
  9. Rear roll pan - Maybe a front pan too.
  10. Shave door handles
  11. Shave door locks
  12. Remote hood release
  13. Shrink drip rail - no one will probably notice this one, but i think the factory drip rails are to big, so i want to remove it and take out about 1/2" and put it back on.
  14. Paint - Same red as it is now, but with clear coat

Since this all will be the first body work I have ever done, I will do my best to keep this thread updated with pics.

We'll see how much of this i get done by next May 31st. I don't plan to park the truck until mid October, or the first snow... which ever comes first. Nice thing is, the truck will be in my garage this year, not 2 hours away like it was last winter.
