so today was hot even in the shade, so all I did today was rebuild the 4 hinges, paint them with rust encapsulator from eastwood, cut my doors for the altman easy latches and install them for now just to see how they fit and look! I'll hang my doors later, the hinges need to dry first, so here is some pics |

Re: my '64 c-10 swb project with steel floor from a '70
What's your assessment of those latches? Been thinking about them but don't know about NOT being able to lock door from inside? Would like a bit more security when wife is out and about in truck. Any workarounds you have planned?

A MASSIVE THANK YOU FOR THOSE BUMPER IRONS YOU GAVE ME. YOU REALLY SAVED MY BUTT. I hope Rian and I can meet up with you in Tulsa on Thursday as well. Rian did PM you with our details. Martin. |

well I'm still alive! I just been working way too much, I have got a couple small things done! I've blasted both cowl corners, all bumper brackets, all of the wing vent stuff, e-brake handle stuff, plus the bracket that goes under the truck for the e-brakes! i'll get pics tomorrow of that stuff, I started building my own trailering arms out of 2x3 tubing an 3/16" plate! I got the idea from other forum members! here are the two threads I have put together a lil this and a lil that!
http://67-72chevytrucks.com/vboard/s...d.php?t=214975 http://67-72chevytrucks.com/vboard/s...+trailing+arms once I buy the two ballistic joints, i'll pics some more pics of them! |
Re: my '64 c-10 swb project with steel floor from a '70

ok so I have been busy with work, family and since my wife is going to have a new baby girl Tuesday the 19th. if her water don't break first, not a lot of truck time having to get the house ready for the new addition!
but I do have some stuff done I wanted to get my tci shifter up of the floor so I'm not leaning forward to shifter! so I made a bracket an took two gussets I made, tig welded them together! I think that it's different an another item I made, not of the shelf bought! I also used a plasma cutter to make some side gussets for my trailing arms an tig welded those up as well! I'm going to pie cut the very ends were the ballistic joints go to have a tampered look an not a boxed look! hope to have that finished this next week an have another update of them finished next weekend! anyways on to the pics!! first set of pics is the shifter bracket I made |
