I think she is going to come around sooner or later. George

Re: 1968
 

Today, I did the other side of the bed walls with cariage bolts. I was going to use the same length for the front panel. But as I installed them I noticed that they were a little to close to the back of the cab. So, tomorrow I will go the Ace hardware and get some 3/4 inch long. I hope to get some 1''x1'' square tubibng next time I go to the welding shop. Then I can start building my raise floor 4 1/2''. I like the way it looked in a article that I read some time ago.

Truck is looking great George, I really like the Kubota Orange color. The bed looks super straight and shiny.

Re: 1968

Re: 1968

Re: 1968
 

thanks man and same to you keep it coming.

Re: 1968
 

check back every once in a while. I do try and do something even if it is wrong.

Re: 1968
 

Well, I got the front panel cartiage bolts installed. The bolts were too long. I had to cut the bolts off so they did not get in the way if I wanted to wash between the bed and cab in the future.

Looking very nice, George! It's looking really good now, with the parts all coming together. You're an inspiration to do a little bit each day, eventually it all gets done.

Re: 1968
 

Thanks. I am waiting on weather to paint the cab. It has been raining a lot down here in Fl.

Re: 1968
 

Today I recieved some more parts. Two brake lines that run from the master cly to the port valve. I tried to use advance auto brake lines. But they did not bend like the oem. so now I will replace the ones I bent.
(2) door seals. How I need a seal for the rear glass. (large) If any of you guys have one that you didn't use plz contact me.

Re: 1968
