Re: '67 stepside project
Finally received the Vintage Air kit from MCB Matt
I got the low mount LS bracket hoping I could keep the compressor down low... It fits perfectly...with room to spare...! clean compact accessory drive system...this has been a trouble free swap...so far...

Re: '67 stepside project
Hey that could be my bed at the moment. Mine is green and standing on end too while I removed all the bad metal. The spot weld cutter is worth it's weight.

Re: '67 stepside project
Ha! Seems stepside beds are in vouge right now!
Tongue and groove with copious amounts of carriage bolts were in mine as well. I ground the heads off most of mine and drove them out. Makes the cross sills look like swiss cheese.

Re: '67 stepside project
I ended up buying some new bed pieces after I discovered a lot of rust through
I have the bed on a quick built dolly so I can start getting it assembled and squared up..ordered the wood today I welded the stake pocket back on that was out of place...looks like it's gonna end up a fairly good fit....

Re: '67 stepside project
Very nice! Where did you get your bed kit? I got mine from Mar K back in March and have just now got the bed front, tailgate and rear cross sill ready for epoxy primer. Too many other things been distracting me.

Re: '67 stepside project
A little forward progress.
SOKY had the bed wood in stock...got it in 2 days I'm determined to make this reproduction stuff work. The rear cross sill..it seems important that it fits correctly.. a little trim here a few slotted holes there and it's getting closer.

Re: '67 stepside project
A little more progress on the cab...peeling back more layers of rotted sheet metal...I hate spot welds!
I'd bet most trucks look like this in this area most of the roof is solid...have a patch for the front section repair piece looks like a decent fit would like to find some good cut outs for the corners

New rear panel arrived today...I was excited until I discovered that it was the wrong one
Box was labeled 67 small window...panel was large window.... ALWAYS check for shipping damage.....and incorrect part...

Re: '67 stepside project
Cut out enough rotten sheet metal to check the new roof panel...
Really happy with the fit so far....lines up nice to the new front header piece.

Re: '67 stepside project
And I thought I was doing some complex body work on my truck...I do not envy you having to go through all this. You are definitely an inspiration, I will certainly follow this thread.
