Xpickup your fab work is awesome. I'm glad you have posted so much of your fab work. It helps me execute some of the forming I am trying to do. I am self-taught and do a lot a reading from guys like you to better myself and my skills so keep up the good work.

Re: 1948 Chevy / S10
 

wickid demon, Thank you. I am also self taught. The internet and youtube are great sources. I am always happy to show/answer how I do things. And it is great if someone can learn from me. It is a great forum and there are a lot of great people on here.

This thing is sweet! Love the smooth running boards! I dig your work for sure!

Selfbuiltrods, thank you

We'll it has been a while since I have done anything on this truck. Billy is working on the body work now on his truck. I put the power windows in his doors this weekend and fixed some rust holes that were under the window molding. I also had to rebuild the rear fender corner because it was messed up. So here are some pictures.

looking good as always, glad to see you back on it. what the plan with covering the door back up? keep stock look or just sheet it and upholster it?

Re: 1948 Chevy / S10
 

99 to life, I am sure it will get some sort of custom door panel over the opening.I always like to cut a large opening in the door when I put power windows in. Billy cut the opening in for me and then boxed it in with 1/2 x 1/2 box tube. Makes it 10x easier to work in the doors rather then small hole.

Shannon, nice work, the large holes makes it soooooo much easier....Jim

Re: 1948 Chevy / S10
 

Nice truck, can't wait to see more!

Re: 1948 Chevy / S10
 

oldman3, yes, tell me about it. I do it to make it the easiest. Plus you can clean the inside of the door also.

slydogg76, It will be nice once it is all done. It is a friend of mine, I will try to post some more as he does what he is doing. I did a good bit of fab work on it and he is finishing it.

Re: 1948 Chevy / S10
 

Anybody have pictures of door panels that cover that larger opening? I would like to see that before I cut the opening to install power windows in my 1952 GMC. I'm working on the bed now but power windows will be soon or at least this winter. Thanks :gmc2:

Re: 1948 Chevy / S10
 

They would have to be custom made. I made my own door panels and they cover from top of the door to the bottom. Not a big deal. I used power windows from Nu-relics. http://www.nu-relics.com/

Not cheap but made very good and you dont need to cut the door up to install them.

Just another option.

Hi Guys, Been super crazy since May so I have not been on. My mother decided to leave my father and have been dealing with that. I have seen him more in the past couple months than I have my married life which is a good thing. Then my mother in law has been in the hospital a lot and now is in a home. So the whole summer/fall have been draining as hell. Then the tranny on my lowered dually went out. Took to a tranny shop because of a warranty and they fixed it and busted up my passenger side widened rear fender so that has to be reglassed. Messed up the exhaust and cracked the cap while it was there. I now know why I do my own work!

I did get the dog truck and the wash tank done and some panels put in Ken's 1965 Mustang fastback. He dropped that off when he picked up the dog truck. He picked it up on Sunday and I just pulled the panel truck in to finally get the side glass and a few other things done. So bare with me and I will post on my build. I will try to get on a little more, just been crazy/draining lately.
