Re: 62ish parts from 1960-2000
I was trying to decide between a spacer and modifying the mounts. Thanks for the pictures. Other than being a little tall they fit nice. The bottoms lay perfect. As for the hoist lift. I have some ideas for version 2.0 if you want to modify yours

Re: 62ish parts from 1960-2000
I have some half inch plate I could use for spacers

Re: 62ish parts from 1960-2000
I know its probably not what you want to do (spacing it), but its the fastest and cheapest solution I can see short of mods to the mount.
And we'll talk cherry picker 2.0 next time I catch up with you.

Re: 62ish parts from 1960-2000
Dropped my motor off at a friends for rebuild and pulled the cab off to put some serious effort into rust repair.

Re: 62ish parts from 1960-2000
If you want it. It has three pellet gun holes in it and some major wiper scratches. Oh and it is delaminating.

Re: 62ish parts from 1960-2000
I was just messing with you. Nice offer though, but seems to be the same condition as the one in my fleetside so I'll pass. I'll have to purchase a new one if I can't find a solid original locally.

Re: 62ish parts from 1960-2000
I took the roof panel off today for some roof repair and insulation. I found out where the squirrel was hiding years ago.

Re: 62ish parts from 1960-2000
Thanks for the bottom of the cab. I have been trying to get out into the garage, but I have been flying nights for the past two weeks. I am supposed to have a long weekend for fathers day so hopefully I can get outside and obliterate some rust. I want to make a good dent into the top of the cab repair this weekend so I can paint and sound proof it next month. Then weld it back on. I played with some thin steel with the TIG welder last weekend. It is so controlled. It should make the job a breeze.

Re: 62ish parts from 1960-2000
Nice. Waiting to see some updates on the roof section.

Re: 62ish parts from 1960-2000
Started working on the roof this morning before it got to hot. I sanded and removed the heavy rust and hit the rest with some rust converter. I will definitely be doing so metal replacement on the sides but the front and back edges should be ok. You can see how many spot welds are on these things.

Re: 62ish parts from 1960-2000
Looks like a solid donor. And let the fun begin. Looking forward to seeing the finish! !

Re: 62ish parts from 1960-2000
I got to enjoy a rare 70 morning. I got some great work done before the monsoon started. Flipped my cab on its back with the help of my boys. We are removing some or the undercoating so I can decide where to cut for the replacement floor.

Re: 62ish parts from 1960-2000
I have been super busy at work so not a whole lot of progress this summer, but I am getting some things done. Last weekend I tore down my 5.3 for rebuild. It is definitely not a 120k motor more like 220k. It didn't have any real damage just wear and some water in the cylinders. There are no pits though so those should clean up.

Re: 62ish parts from 1960-2000
I have also been working on cleaning up my 5.3 a little on the outside. It is still going to look fairly modern just smoothed off some. I do have a surprise for the coil pack relocation that some people may like. I am in the middle of shaving the truck intake. I love the way these look without all the stupid casting tabs in them

Re: 62ish parts from 1960-2000
Oh I did score this camper from a guy who just wanted it off his 66 so he could pull the bed. All the glass is there but the bubble windows need replaced. It fits perfect on a short bed and is tall enough that it matches the cab.

Working on the cab this afternoon. Patching little holes where the stupid squirrel lived.

Re: 62ish parts from 1960-2000
Here is some of my work from this weekend. I cut out the center because it was to thin to clean up. I have part of an extra cab I have been cutting pieces for patches out of. I found a section with a really close contour and started tacking it in. It is tuff to weld to this old metal, but the side you can see looks pretty good before grinding. I took off this week so I have some small goal with sheet metal.

Re: 62ish parts from 1960-2000
Final getting back to my truck. I have spent a lot of time on other projects but a recent purchase for this truck has really motivated me. A company released the upper cab skin last month and I was the second person to purchase one.

Re: 62ish parts from 1960-2000
Putting some Al's liner heat and noise reducer paint down before putting the new top skin on. After it cures I am going to put a little isulation in and weld the top back on. Then on to floor pans.

Re: 62ish parts from 1960-2000
The first part with paint on it. Test run on the cow panel. It is a little darker than I wanted but I like it.
