Post Project '67 Rebirth

Started working on my truck today as I wanted to get the leaking in cab fuel tank out and see what I have to work with. This does a couple of things, one it lets me see how much rust has tackled the inside of the cab and see the exitint of the affected area. And two it lets me see what I have to do to either fix the fuel tank or plan on adding one under the bed.

Personally the idea of having a bit more space behind the seat is attractive. As I believe the in cab fuel tank is like what 19 gallons vs. a 21 gallon you can get in the convertion kit from LMC.

Well here are a few pictures of what I found.


Passenger Side cab corner showing the ground because of leaking fuel tank which promoted the rust issue.


Passenger Side with new cab corner sheet metal just sitting there for mock up. Needs floor pan sheet metal as well.

Okay I can replace bolt on panels like fenders and such, but repairing massive rusted out pieces like these are more than I can do. So what options are left for me since I can't work on it myself.

What would you guys do?
