Once we got the passenger rocker off we had a surprise. the pillars both front and rear were toast. so placed another parts order today at Top Banana.

Re: My Daughters First Truck
Wow I thought my floor was hammered but wow! I rebuilt one whole side of mine before I ordered the parts or the other side. I would suggest getting parts from classic parts. The LMC parts I got we're horrible...

4d,
Have you found that the parts/panels you get from top banana fit and finish are pretty good??? |

Re: My Daughters First Truck
A lot of the same things I need to do to mine, except I've got a big hole under my gas peddle, too. Nice work, keep the pictures coming, I've got to figure all this out before the time and money come so I don't squander them.

Re: My Daughters First Truck
Nice! I would suggest welding in a bar Inbetween the door jams. It's obviously too late for this side but it helps to keep everything lined up. Once you cut the floor you lose all the integrity and the whole structure moves around. I only figured this out after I did one of my sides, I got it to line back up fairly good but its much easier if you weld in some braces. Once you weld the floor in then you just cut the braces back out. Hope that helps!

Re: My Daughters First Truck
Looks good guys. When Jed pulled his seat today I was relieved that the floor had 0% rust. We will probably need your help when he is ready to do rockers though.

I don't normally wander out of the '47-'59 zone, but somehow I stumbled upon this thread. I'm 18 and must say it is absolutely AWESOME to see another teenager who is interested in old GM iron. I live in the Memphis area, currently rebuilding a '56 stepside. Too cool!!!!

Re: My Daughters First Truck
Glad you're back 4dranch! I've been watching this tread since I'm 18 and trying to find money to build, and gain the knowledge throughout the process. It motivates me to keep going knowing that other kids out there are doing the same. Keep it up!

Re: My Daughters First Truck
Very Nice David!! I was thinking about you the other day. Hadn't seen any post in a while. Then I checked your profile and saw that you were on that day. ;)
