Attempt at door repair, these door bottoms are crappy. I got these years ago hopefully they have started stamping them better. :smoke:

Seam sealed the whole inside of cab and most of the outside, sprayed most of the inside with dupli color paintable undercoat. Real close to finishing all the body work on the cab also should be able to prime it out this week and hopefully color coat it. :mm:

Ordered my 6" Hotchkiss drop springs for the back, hoping this puts me where I want to be. Should be here for the weekend. Work is wide open right now so not to sure I will hit the goals I had in mind for this week. :mm:

Actually they are 4" springs that are on it right now, I have a set of stocks here at the house if you are interested in either one I would sell them to you :chevy:

cknfrmr 03-22-2017 07:04 PM

Re: 68 project
 
stock is probably better for me. I don't know enough of the specs to know the difference. to know what is better for my situation. probably swing by the shop Saturday if your gonna be there. want to see the firewall and back of cab.

It is not real low, I can still stand a drill up under it. :lol:

cknfrmr 03-24-2017 08:10 PM

Re: 68 project
 
lol. that's the bed side. I was there when we did the floor jack test on the front. if the bed sides scrap after putting the new springs on you forgot to tighten the front passenger side bolt.

GR8-68 03-24-2017 08:30 PM

Re: 68 project
 
It isnt low enough to scrape :lol:
