Re: My build so far
We started replacing the floor pans this week. Hoping to have some pictures posted this weekend.

Re: My build so far
I need some pics to see if I could have done things differently. Glad your making progress.

Re: My build so far
Looks like a great start! My blaster used soda and another type of media for the tough/rotted parts so I didn't get to see a pure soda job. I love seeing these old girls being fixed up.

Hopefully going to get my cab back home after getting the floor sheetmetal replaced in a couple of days. I thought I would roll the frame outside and wash off the dust and then I started taking pictures. You know one thing after another. Here are a few to keep me motivated.

Re: My build so far
Hey Greg I see your making great progress at that rate you will be finished before me. But I'm still making progress on mine.

Made some progress on the cab, got all the patch panel installed. The only thing left is the floor pans. A few more welds and the dash will be in place. I'll try to post better pictures later.

Re: My build so far
I noticed you welded in your rockers and cab corners without fitting them to your doors. I hope your doors fit. After fitting my new rockers, I had to start over when I fitted my doors. Even though it seems like the new rockers fit like a glove, I had to drop both sides down about 3/8" to fit the doors correctly. Looks good though, hope it fits.

Re: My build so far
Today I had a some free time so me, my son Evan, and my brother-in-law rode up to Alan's house. It is amazing how much time and effort has went into his truck. The pictures does not do the it justice. While there I picked a set of side cowl panels. I also got to meet Shannon (sdailey) and got a pair of door panels for Evan '68 swb project. It was good talking both of you and hope we didn't take up too much of your Saturday.

Re: My build so far
Hey glad to see you making some great progress. It is coming along you'll be driving it before long.
I haven't done much to mine lately I have been laid up with bum leg and foot for the last three weeks hopefully Ill be back on it in a few more days. Keep up the good work |
Re: My build so far
Looking good Greg. I wish I could hurry up and get my patch panels replaced. My drip rail is going to cause us some problems, it's not any good metal to weld to when you cut out the old rusted out one. Your truck is coming along pretty good. Later.

Re: My build so far
Well Greg, I already gave the other cab to my cousin and he has it already at his house. Yeah the '68 cab is a better cab. But I wanted a true '72 so I kept the '72 for me.

The truck is still in dad's garage, we haven't worked on it for about 2 weeks now. He was sick, then he got well, then he had a siding job, now I been sick this week. Maybe we can get out there this weekend some.

I picked up a 4.8 engine for my son's '68 project today. even if we decide to go a different route I couldn't pass up a LS engine for $75.00. Right now his truck is sitting on a '72 swb frame, thanks to Jeff(trucknut). I took the cab off of a lwb 68 truck and got the front end from Jeff. The bed will have to wait until later.

Re: My build so far
Nice score!!

Re: My build so far
No doubt....can't go wrong for that price. What all parts are interchangeable with the 5.3 or 6.0?

Re: My build so far
Greg, where did you luck up and find that 4.8 for 75 bills? I knew where I could have gotten a 5.3 w/36,000 miles awhile back for $700.00. I would like to go that route, but I would like to go carb instead of EFI.

Re: My build so far
I found a 5.3 from an 08 sub that I am goin to use.. I have to wait for the yard to relese it. If i do mine befor you do yours I will write a how to on it.. I email it to you when the time comes.. Im not sure how it differ because its a flex fuel 320 hp.
