Cab looks like a good start and looks like you're honing in on your list.

no moa · 11-17-2011, 01:53 PM

Thanks. I'm happy with it. One thing I do have trouble with is that the doors are 71. Will my 72 door panels fit with our to much modification? I know there is an extra hole for the vent window. But is there one for panel also? I havent had time to pull the panels.

VA72C10 · 11-17-2011, 03:06 PM

yes, the 72 panels will fit...you just will need the 72 window and door regulators.

no moa · 11-17-2011, 03:26 PM

I that a couple of those.

It's kind of funny to, my 69 wrecker, and the 67 I bought for parts, both have 72 drivers doors with the little vent window hole. Guess drivers doors are replaced often in Maine. Lol

Thank you. I've come to a halt untill i get passed xmas, and to kids with birthdays in Jan and Feb.

After that, and i get the rest of the parts i need for the frame, it will be frame reassembly time.

DARIO1 · 11-28-2011, 10:40 PM

I through your progress on your truck, nice job so far. Luckily you didn't get it running and drive it around, it almost looks like either someone started and never finished but they put in a few bolts and threw it together to sell it off? I think it will turn out pretty nice though.
I haven't even pulled mine apart until I find a cab for it but that is all that needs to be replaced. Surprisingly it is in good shape all around except for the cab, partial resto but incomplete. We should get in contact to see what parts we have and I know of parts from a contact around Bangor. Thanks

You can tell the frame was tampered with because the frame looks to me to have been grinded. Great lookin truck though

no moa · 12-06-2011, 03:06 AM

Frame was shortened by previous owner. As you can see its now plated for strength.

no moa · 12-07-2011, 03:20 PM

Rivets.

I'm going to start the reassembly once the 70 is stripped out, should i remove the rivets and go to Grade 8 bolts for the leaf spring mounts where they attach to the frame? I'm going to use new Grade 8 for the front frame to front end section, and some new Grade 8 long bolts for the leaf springs. and use some good grade 5 for my auto crossmember.

The rivets look good, just wondering if i should grind them out and change them?

no moa · 12-23-2011, 01:42 PM

Got the 70 GMC springs apart last night, they are 1 less leaf than my 72, but they are in beautiful texas shape. So if i can find new bushings i'll be good to go.

no moa · 12-23-2011, 01:43 PM

Got next week off, so i cleared a spot at work (more room) brought the frame in, washed it, cleaned it and onto the next step.

no moa · 12-29-2011, 03:15 PM

had a couple days to do some work.
