Re: Crash's 72 K10
Very nice work on the firewall Mark. I wish I had your stick-to-itative energy. I would have finished my truck along time ago.

Re: Crash's 72 K10
Have installed a few rear tanks but that is by far the nicest one I have seen so far.

Re: Crash's 72 K10
Not a lot of work done this weekend.. My daughter turned 15, so we spent some time hanging out, and eating…
I did pick up a set of seats for mockup (Thanks to Tanner at B&R Auto salvage in Tulsa – Great people to work with). Not sure if I will keep these, I like the style and the bowtie emblem in the middle of the seats. The leather is nice except for the driver’s side bottom, and the cloth inserts are dirty.. I will clean them up and see what I think. The seats are powered and they work very well. I wanted to mount the seats utilizing the front seat mounting location (The raised area that the original seats mounted to). In addition, I wanted to reinforce the mounting system due to the integrated seatbelts. I was more concerned with the rear mounting system than the front. The front is naturally reinforced due to the nature of the raised area. The rear is flat with no natural support. I did use the orignal rear mounting location for two bolts on each side of the truck. In addition I was able to tie the mounts to the floor support system in two places. The area under the floor will be reinforced with plates and strapping. I will post those pictures next week after I have welded them in. I also finished the install of the fuel lines for the new gas tank. Last, but not least, the vintage air system arrived. I have not opened the boxes yet, but I will next week to fab up the mounting system for it. Not sure about the seats. I love the way the feel and look, expect for the headrest. I don’t really like the headrest in the back window look, but they are what they are, and they are safer in a rear end collision (if the floor mounts hold ).

Re: Crash's 72 K10
Thanks for the comments.. It seems like things have really slowed down since I started on the rust repair.. but now that the rust is almost gone, I will start to pick up the pace again..

Re: Crash's 72 K10
That's some nice looking seats. I think those will work out good for you. I really like the integrated seat belts too. Nice tank and V/A kit.

Re: Crash's 72 K10
Hey Mark, Very nice work on the seat mounts. They look super sturdy and well planned. That V/A kit looks good too. I see they have made a bunch of changes to it since my old unit was made. I really like the bulkhead connection. It should clean up the connections. Keep up the hard work.

Re: Crash's 72 K10
Thanks, I hope so. I really considered building a crossmember to weld under the cab, but I looked at how the factory 2005 seats were mounted, and this is just as stong in my opinion.
Have agreat day.

Re: Crash's 72 K10
My lovely wife cleaned up the seats yesterday. They look a lot better, but the fabric is worn in a few places and the leather is cracked as well. The seats are somewhat broke down on the sides, but they are used seats, so some wear is to be expected. I am still not sure this is the set for me.
Work some more on the firewall, filled in the holes for the old throttle mount and welded in the bracket that mcbassin made for me.. Once again thanks Mike. I then mounted the gas pedal to the mount. I still need to finish fabbing up the pedal. This week I will start gathering the supplies and tools need for the body work and primer for the cab. This is all foreign to me, so it might take awhile.

Re: Crash's 72 K10
Killer work on the firewall Mark. You definetly the metal fab figured out. You sure you aren't holding out? I swear you have been welding all your life man. I like how the seats turned out. You have really brought this cab out of the dumps......
Bodywork is easy compared to all that rust repair. |

Re: Crash's 72 K10
Didn’t get a lot done this weekend.. Installed the rockers, started painting the bottom of the cab (ran out of POR15), and finished up on filling the holes in the firewall.
I did buy $300 worth of epoxy primer, activator, reducer, Paint thinner, primer gun, and body filler.. I have some surface rust that I will need to re-blast and then shoot the primer. Thought I would also share an interesting event from the weekend. The wonderful little fellow below fell from the insulated ceiling in my shop Saturday. He was after some birds that had made a nest in the ceiling. He landed about a foot away from where my wife was sitting just a few minutes before. I thought about leaving him in the shop, but was afraid someone would hurt him or themselves, so I played with him for a little while and then let him go in the woods behind the house..

Re: Crash's 72 K10
Thanks.. I guess that is how metal and body work is.. You work all day on something, and you don't see the progress like you do with mechanical or electrical work.. I guess I will keep doing something every chance I get, and someday it will be done.. I hope :-)
