Re: 1968

Re: 1968
Well, I almost finshed the cab floor today. I still got a small repair on the kick panel about 6 to 8 inches. I did finsh the step for the bed though it came out real nice. There was a small place where it bolts to the side wall that was a little rusty. I replaced it with new metal. I did not want it to give when I use the step.

Re: 1968
Today I worked on the other side of the step bed walls. Had a few dents on the top rail. Welded and grind and bondo and sand and bondo and sand toget it right. I wanted to get my replacement welded today. The fan went out on the welder. It did not happen. Looking like tomorrow I think.

Re: 1968
Sorry to hear about your welder dying. Little set backs are never fun.
Bed side looks great. |

They did not even twitch in giving me a new one. So I bought a new 2 year replacement warrantee for only $ 11.77. Nothing like a little insurance. |

Re: 1968
So got my new welder today. It rained here the biggest part of the day. So I thought to myself I might as well go to Harbor Frieght. When I got back, I started working on finshing the bed side, that I started the other day. I primed it and now it is ready for fine tuning on the body work. So guys if you are looking for parts I have posted a few in the parts section.

Re: 1968
Today I Did nothing on my truck. I started to run the brakes line, but got side tracted. I boxed up the pos traction rear end to ship to to Ill. After that I just done somemore of my honey do's. I painted the dog house. The problem with that is we don't have a dog. Just a dog house. I figured I might be in it before this project is over with.
