Drivers side rockers went pretty well. Everything lines up pretty good except were the doors meet at the b-pillar. There is about a 1/2" gap as compared to the passengers at about 1/4" strong. Jon i got my rear cab supports in and they fit pretty well under the b-pillar. Possibly cut the front cab support off the frame and tuck it under and weld it on the new frame. Then weld the cab support to the inside of the rocker and the front to back floor support.

Re: 1961 Crew Max
This truck is a terrible idea. Once all the body work is done it should be thrown away...into my garage!!:lol:
Seriously though, amazing work! |
Re: 1961 Crew Max
Another great truck being saved. Lots of great work your doing, I envy craftsman like you whose talent shows through.

Little progress this week. got the sbw panel out to swap for a bbw. Got the gas filler area fixed to accept a patch piece. Also noticed the door hinges on my 53 suburban are looking pretty good for a swap on the back doors. They sit flush with the pillar on the inside edge and fold into the pillar. There might just be enough room on the b-pillar to accept this. Going to do some measuring to confirm before i go cuttin away.

Got the big back window panel. It was nice to get the entire roof piece to reverse drill the spot welds. No big holes in the panel to deal with. Overall fit is pretty good. Just tacked for now so i can sand blast behind it and paint it. Also removed door windows.

Re: 1961 Crew Max
Looking good! Love them Big Back Windows. I will probably do the same to my 66 Crew.

Re: 1961 Crew Max
Can't wait to see what you do with engine and trans harness. What are you leaning towards?
|
Re: 1961 Crew Max
Great metal repairs!

Re: 1961 Crew Max
Nice work on the back window. Looks good!

Re: 1961 Crew Max
This is the company i will probably use for stand alone. The guy that builds the harness was a gm engineer for like 20 years. Great knowledge and will design it how you want. He said turn around time was about a week. Also takes the ecm and sends it to get flashed from a buddy.

Re: 1961 Crew Max
So got the motor and trans out of the d-max. Cut the cab off the frame to make it easier. This thing is big and heavy. My pour little cherry picker just about gave up on me.

Man that is going to be Sweet.

Re: 1961 Crew Max
Check out this guy. He cut his pan so he could get his engine lower in the frame. This may help you out with hood clearance issues.
http://www.norcal1320.com/forums/sho...1198095&page=8 I think he ended up going with a completely new sheet metal pan later on. |

Made a little progress through the weekend. had a friend bend up some pieces to replace the floor section between the doors. this piece also connects the b-pillar to the floor. lots of trimming to get it all to fit. going to wait on the middle till we fit the d-max. next comes the fun part of closing in the rockers.
