I had plans of running this side fill door. But I don't know if it will work because of the custom side trim. I think the filler will be mounted too low to allow easy fuel flow to the tank. I'll have to study it some more. http://i369.photobucket.com/albums/o...d/DSC08460.jpg |
Re: My 1965 build thread

Re: My 1965 build thread
Trying to get an idea of where the fuel pocket will be. The chrome side moulding will be close.

I've been waiting on a warmer day so it would flow out. It turned out pretty good. http://i369.photobucket.com/albums/o...d/DSC08686.jpg http://i369.photobucket.com/albums/o...d/DSC08687.jpg http://i369.photobucket.com/albums/o...d/DSC08688.jpg Does anyone know if there are repair pieces for this area where the inside of the bed meets the wood floor? http://i369.photobucket.com/albums/o...d/DSC08683.jpg http://i369.photobucket.com/albums/o...d/DSC08684.jpg |

Re: My 1965 build thread
I think this is my first post on here? I don't know.
Anyways, just thought I'd drop a line and say that this is a very nice build man. Quality work going on here and I look forward to this thing being a rolling, finished mass. Should be good times |
Re: My 1965 build thread
What a great thread. It took me a hell of a long time to catch up. Nice work Allan. I love the 59/60 dash.

I did get out in the shop a little tonight. Thought I would post an informational post. Most of ya'll know what this tool is but some don't. Before this tool people drilled holes in dents and ran a screw in it and slide hammered it out. This stud gun is not invasive, but will leave a burn mark on the back side. Make sure you have everything clear on the back side, or you'll be roasting marshmellows. http://i369.photobucket.com/albums/o...d/DSC08701.jpg http://i369.photobucket.com/albums/o...d/DSC08702.jpg Clean the metal of paint in the area that you will put a stud. I used a few more than what is in the pic to get most of the dent out and put some tension back in the metal. It was pretty flemsy. http://i369.photobucket.com/albums/o...d/DSC08703.jpg Yes I wasn't happy with my roof, once wiped down with glass cleaner it showed some ripples. I figured I'd fix it now. The kit I have has a pull handle and slide hammer. I pulled up on the pin while hammering lightly around it on the crown of the dent. The kit also has an attachment to weld pins for some body side mouldings and for the clips that hold the chrome trim around some front and back glass. http://i369.photobucket.com/albums/o...d/DSC08704.jpg |

Re: My 1965 build thread
that's cool!!
thanks for the info......i've been wanting one for awhile now..... |
Re: My 1965 build thread
For a few projects it wouldn't be worth it. For the everyday body man it's a must..
Allan I saw a 55 dash for sale really cheap, and thought of getting it to put in my 65. At this point I just want to get it on the road. I can always do it later, but I would really like to put one like your in. |
Re: My 1965 build thread
I'm thinking of posting a build thread on mine. I'm back halfing a 73 1/2 ton short bed to the 3/4 ton long bed front of my 65, and converting it to a 1/2 ton short bed. I bought a wrecked 73, and am using everything I can off it. I don't like the coils on the 60-72 frames. That's why I'm doing this. I made a custom triangle 4-link for it that has canter lever air bag mounts. It will be an interesting build. Based on doing everything as cheap as I can. So far I have only $740.00 in both trucks.

Re: My 1965 build thread
Alan-
Just wanted to take a minute to compliment your AMAZING work. I'm another one who spent more than an hour recently catching up on your build - it's an inspiration to us average slobs. |
