Kents 62 knock out knee knocker - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

j.walters · 10-07-2015, 04:15 PM

I'm posting this for my pops. What started out as a "flip truck" and a "rat build" took a quick turn. Having fallen in love with these ugly trucks It wasn't as easy to let go of. He acquired the truck in a trade and decided to build it for a fast flip. He decided to fix the rust and 200 hours later it has all new everything.

j.walters · 10-07-2015, 04:17 PM

The frame matched the cab pretty well. It was pretty nasty so it was sent out for blasting and then base and cleared

j.walters · 10-07-2015, 04:19 PM

It cleaned up a lot better than we thought

j.walters · 10-07-2015, 04:21 PM

what rot was in the frame was removed and repaired. which you will see later was then removed later haha.

j.walters · 10-07-2015, 04:23 PM

He based and cleared the frame it looks killer at this point haha

j.walters · 10-07-2015, 04:24 PM

new drop spindles for the disc brakes

j.walters · 10-07-2015, 04:27 PM

the stock dash was yanked and a 59 impala dash was then fitted into the truck. which looks like an easy fit.... well its not. But it is so worth the pain

j.walters · 10-07-2015, 04:29 PM

More of the dash swap

j.walters · 10-07-2015, 04:31 PM

The roof on the 62 had too many pin holes for his liking. lucky enough the roof that came on the bbw donor panel was rust free.

j.walters · 10-07-2015, 04:33 PM

a girls gotta run, steer, and stop. so we fitted it with an LS.

j.walters · 10-07-2015, 04:36 PM

broke out the tube bender and made a mount for the 49 chevy tank

j.walters · 10-07-2015, 04:38 PM

The underside and the firewall were cleaned up

j.walters · 10-07-2015, 04:39 PM

gas tank mounts removed and we reinforced the rear cab pan

j.walters · 10-07-2015, 04:41 PM

now that the firewall was smoothed out and the bottom as well the fun starts

j.walters · 10-07-2015, 04:42 PM

the bottom painted black and the cab got another coat of primer

j.walters · 10-07-2015, 04:44 PM

The cab is ready.

j.walters · 10-07-2015, 04:45 PM

Simple on the outside bright on the inside.

j.walters · 10-07-2015, 04:47 PM

Lil man stopped by to help out B-Pa on his truck for a bit

j.walters · 10-07-2015, 04:57 PM

a few more of the paint process

DakotaKid · 10-07-2015, 06:12 PM

Turtleman · 10-07-2015, 10:21 PM

WOW.. nice workmanship.. Nice booth... First time I've seen a dash replacement like that one

rwade · 10-07-2015, 11:14 PM

azdude1964 · 10-08-2015, 01:11 AM

I'm digging the direction your going with this truck , got a bbw 63 in the yard

rwade · 10-08-2015, 10:07 AM

What year is the frame? A 62 should've had the torsion bar front and "X frame"
And yours looks like a 63-66 frame

Wade

j.walters · 10-08-2015, 12:56 PM

Ya we switched over to a 66 frame. the X is just too much of a pain in the ass.

I will grab a few more piks of the gas tank install here in a bit.
