Re: Beth's tribute truck.
Very nice work! I'm getting ready to put a complete floor in one of my cabs. What brand is that cab support? It looks really nice. Is it galvanized coated or bare?

Re: Beth's tribute truck.
Does Dynacorn make Rocker Boxes for 69-72 K/5 Blazer/Jimmy types, too?

Re: Beth's tribute truck.
Yes they do. But they are not set up with weld through primer.

Re: Beth's tribute truck.
Thanks, Wes. I'll keep that in mind. Even though my '71 Jimmy's a California truck, some PO must've lived on the Beach, and the next PO went bondo crazy. It's got under-paint bubbles all over.

Re: Beth's tribute truck.
Nice work! That lower inner cowl piece always sucks to do because one way or another you get showered with sparks.

Re: Beth's tribute truck.
I was looking at the gas cap and its tight location in the truck box. Can you explane and or show me how you access the cap to remove it. I don't want to put the gas filler neck in the bed box and am always look for some ideas. For now I am going with a step side box.

Re: Beth's tribute truck.
The marker light is hinged. I reach into the hole behind the marker light and unscrew the lid. WES

Re: Beth's tribute truck.
I have quite a large hand is it easy to get your hand in there and turn the cap or is it a tight fit?

Re: Beth's tribute truck.
My hands are large. Removing the gas cap is pretty easy.

What looked like one rust bubble turned into a major surgery.

Re: Beth's tribute truck.
I sure hope so. I didn't get anything done over the Thanksgiving weekend but did a little today. Started to shave the right bedside steak pockets and shaving more unnecessary holes in the floor.

Re: Beth's tribute truck.
Well I hope today marks the last day for metalworking the truck. I hope to get the interior, jambs, firewall and inside of the bed painted and placed on the chassis permanently. Here is some more of the metalworking that was done. I didn't like the seam on the interior roof panel on the right side so it was cut and made better. Realy didn't find any rust so that was good. I also finished shaving the steak pockets on the right bedside.
