Re: 1968
 

nice progress on the firewall

Re: 1968
 

Today, I finshed te firewall. It came out ok There is still a little to work out. I am going to let my brother-in-law do the fine tuning on the body work.
I als mounted the cab on my 1972 frame. I will be making it a rollin chassis. It will be easier to move around. And also to mount the painted cab on my 67 frame. Roll it out and roll the 67 frame under the cab.

Re: 1968
 

I posted a picture of something and maybe you can tell me what it is.

Re: 1968
 

What work is left to do on the cab?

Re: 1968
 

I have no idea what the item is in the pic. Could it be a heater/cooling addition part?
What part of the truck or location did it come off of?
I would guess that Xeen might know. He has a lot more knowledge on '68 than me.

Re: 1968
 

Today, I took a load of metal I removed from the 1972 frame to the salvage yard. It was looking a bit like a junk yard with parts here and metal there. So now I can move around and the boys are not playing with sharp and rusty parts. also started to clean up the A frames to go back on the 72 frame. It looks like I have two projects going on.

Re: 1968
 

and here is the picture of both frames. The one on the left is my working frame in progress.

Re: 1968
 

I mounted the cab on the 72 frame so I could work on it and not get the 68 frame scratched or mess up. Not like the dust is not going to get on it. I think I could have my good frame in my neighbor's yard and it would get the dust from my sanding and grinding.

Re: 1968
 

who knows i just might make me another project after I get the 68 done.

Re: 1968
 

Today, is Sunday. I just finshed sand blasting and painting the front springs on the 72 frame.I am cleaning up the 72 frame while waiting for parts. It also got cold here so I took in a few plants so they want get burned. Stag horns

Re: 1968
 

I have a question about getting a tital for a 67. Is there any thing to this story. I was told I could get a builders tital. Just wanted to know before I start in on building my 67.
I have atital for my 68. But I would like to build another one. This time a 67 when i am finshed with the 68

Re: 1968
 

TodayI moved the nginehoist that I builted. out of 4x6x10. So I could put the floor on my work area. I got my list of the parts I am going to get and I will be going south to St. Petersburg Fl.
Soon.

Re: 1968
 

How much spring do I have to cut off the front springs to get it down 2 inches,

Re: 1968
 

You could cut the front springs but I don't know if you can get exactly 2" because they thread into the control arms a specific way, and you can't cut the back springs at all because they narrow at both ends for the retainers..

Re: 1968
 

The reason i a asking aboutthe springs is. One was broke on the top and I was think of letting the 72 frame down a little. Or I might get another spring to replace it and keep it stock level. What do u think.

Re: 1968
