Nice, love that truck! I'm still plugging away on mine. I almost have the cab ready for paint, but it's been rough. I will look up that...
Hey that looks really good. Maybe I will try to make my own repair panel. I haven't done any more dimples than a share with one bend, but this...
Was this about what yours looked like? It seems like they tried to use an epoxy under the bondo. [ATTACH]
Yeah seems like a fairly easy spot to rust. I was hoping to find a repair panel and not have to try to fab something. I'll get in there on the...
Went through the products, just not seeing it there either. How would you describe this area best?[ATTACH]
Hey, doing rust removal on my truck project. I am having trouble finding repair panels for the cab. The only spots I need them on are the lower...
Hey, checked out the suspension and it is square. The welds aren't the prettiest I've seen though. I need to look into switching it from a 4 lug...
Thanks guys for the info. Yeah this is my first build alone. I used to work with my dad a lot on all his cars, but haven't tried to do it all...
Alright, got a chance to take some pictures of the truck and suspension. I do have all the body parts in the front, but they are off for derusting...
Hey, yeah my genera plan for it, right now, is to get it functional without cutting too many corners. That's already looking like a big goal....
I don't have the original engine or transmission. It came with a kind of stripped 350 sbc that is bolted on and held up with a 2x4 board....
Damn, it looked like it was further forward. Did some rough measurements and it looks like it will be about 5-7" too far forward of where it needs...
Looks like the Engine Rear Support and Second Crossmember have been removed to put this one on. It sits slightly forward of the seat....
Hey thanks for those. That gets me some dimensions I was hoping to have. I did notice that my frame seems to be different on some of the cross...
So looking at Jim Carter's site, I found these 3 items: http://www.oldchevytrucks.com/cart/product.asp?prodid=CB247&i=|||||...
Thanks guys, this is a huge help! Was completely stumped about how this was supposed to go together. I will order those pieces from Jim Carter...
Thanks so much for the info. I will start looking for a thinner piece of rubber to replace that. I went through my parts boxes and couldn't find...
Here's some with the flash and a little circle on the rubber shims. So yeah, this is the area the cab mounts to the frame, about 6" where your...
OK, I'll snap some better ones. Maybe I'll see if my phone can circle the area too.
So this is one of the things I've noticed while working on the floorboards. There are some rubber shims where the cab meets the rail. Honestly,...
Hey, awesome truck! Looks like yours came together well. What all have you done to it? The big problem with mine is that I have many parts off...
Just started my project, a 1938 Chevrolet Pickup. I don't have a lot of information on it and can't seem to find anyone who has one locally (small...
Hi, I've been a lurker for awhile now. There's some really good information here, so I finally decided to register. I just picked up my huge...
