It has .030/.035 solid wire grooves and a groove for .035 flux core . Nothing for .024

I vowed to do something everyday on it even if it’s small . My wife thinks I’m crazy when she saw me doing body work on the finger guard . But it was heavily pitted . Easier than 5 coats of high build primer probably cheaper too

That's going to be the most premium low-optioned step side on the planet! :lol:

Re: What did you do to your truck today.The 3rd chapter

Took the grill apart today don’t think I can salvage the fog lights took the rings off and the housings are rotted. But everything came apart without braking clips or bolts . Never had molding clip nuts just come off the turn signals the same just a little PB and they came right off . Was going to buy a new grill emblem then thought it’s nice enough to rechrome but it cleaned up nice . Any suggestions as to the color red I should use to repaint it ?

That's the sweetest finger guard I've ever seen. I would be popping my hood just to show complete strangers a finger guard like that, if I had one.
:chevy:

Re: What did you do to your truck today.The 3rd chapter

When was the last time you saw an oem inner fender with zero rust .

Re: What did you do to your truck today.The 3rd chapter
 

i'm pretty lucky,i have 2 but i know they're few and far between.

Re: What did you do to your truck today.The 3rd chapter

Re: What did you do to your truck today.The 3rd chapter
 

A truly rust free passenger side is certainly hard to find :)

Re: What did you do to your truck today.The 3rd chapter
 

Yesterday me and a friend used my Burb and took my newly built SBC to the shop so it can be installed in its new home, my C10.

Re: What did you do to your truck today.The 3rd chapter

Re: What did you do to your truck today.The 3rd chapter
 

Not since back when people called them ''Fender Skirts.''

Re: What did you do to your truck today.The 3rd chapter
 

One of mine, drivers side at front, needed a small patch. Took to a shop and it was fixed properly.

Re: What did you do to your truck today.The 3rd chapter
 

Definitely not easy to find
These came off an Arizona suburban that the owner lowered and put tubes on
We used to call them inner skirts

Re: What did you do to your truck today.The 3rd chapter
 

That's my next project not this truck but my Anniversary truck engine is very tired
They did a great job

Re: What did you do to your truck today.The 3rd chapter
 

Raining today so I repainted the grille bowtie I think the color is to red and shiny compared to the fender emblem . I used satin paint maybe flat would be better

Re: What did you do to your truck today.The 3rd chapter
 

The ''Red'' color of the Sixties Bowtie was more of a Tomato red than Crayola Red. Redder than Chevy Engine Orange or Hugger Orange but not as red as fresh blood. [The same color was used on the cover of the '67 Chevy Truck Owners Manual.]
Your new paint looks pretty much like they did when brand new. [At least as far as one can tell on a computer. In person, in full sunlight, it may be more obvious.]
Red is a color that tends to fade from Sun exposure.

Keep what you got and move on. If it bugs you, use the same color on your other badges, so they all match.

You guys are doin some great work

Re: What did you do to your truck today.The 3rd chapter
 

I dont think it will be to noticable as they arent close to each other on the truck. I was going to buy a new one but I think it will be fine on the truck . And it’s an OEM piece

Re: What did you do to your truck today.The 3rd chapter

I'm not sure if its just the picture angle but why is the wheel so far ahead and not centered in the opening ???
