At a minimum, rebuild the carb. It is probably gummed up inside, valves sticking some, and those leakey gaskets..... I am not an expert with them, but those old 1bbl carbs are pretty easy to rebuild. Check around were the throttle rod(?) runs into the caarb and make sure the hole is not to wallowed out as then you may need another carb.

Glad to see you're taking the time to do it right, even if it means backtracking on previous progress. That's what the really good builders do. I think you'll feel a lot better about the end product.

Just took the welds down. I'm glad that I took the time to make the panel even and flush. The seem is super smooth and I can't even feel the seam when I run my finger across it.

Just finished the fan base. Lots of filing and sanding resulted in the the areas replaced with fibreglass looking like they were meant to be. Then threw some paint on. I'll put it all back together tomorrow and put in the new switch.
Oh yeah I also ordered new rear cab supports and they should be here tomorrow or Sunday. |

Then I started to work on the rocker panel. I got this one for free from someone that messed it up. For some reason they cut out the front section of it

Oh and today I found out that I got the wrong slip yoke. The front yoke on the driveshaft is 1350 series and the slip yoke is 1310 series. I'm aware that they make u joints with one end bigger than the other but i think I'll just sell this one and make a couple bucks and then go back to picknpull and pay 7.99 for the right one

Today I decided to look at the passenger rocker/floors. Here's what it looked like when I removed the door sill plate.

Rocker/inner rockers cut out. In the next couple of days whenever I have the time I will start on making the repair panels

Re: A 15 year old's project. Rusty 62 stepside
Looks about right. I just did my passengers side and I sympathize with the rust condition hahaha

Finished pulling out the passenger rocker today to reveal that the rust on the lower A pillar is much worse than the driver side. The patch panel is over $50 where I live and being on a budget I guess I'm going to build it. Oh well, more practice with metalworking.

Re: A 15 year old's project. Rusty 62 stepside
You really do continue to impress me.
That is a whole load of heartache you opened up there, but I am sure you will just get on and do it right, Well done. |

Removed the rusted lower door pillar to find even more rust. This is going to be a fun one. Had to use a jack to hold the pillar in place so nothing will move.

Re: A 15 year old's project. Rusty 62 stepside
Should buff out. :lol:
|
Re: A 15 year old's project. Rusty 62 stepside
Thats a lot of rust Nik, but you got the skill to fix it. Just start cutting. :chop:
