Running them through the molder to size them

Re: 68 project
 

I don't blame you. I've been running mine for about a year now and couldn't remember for sure. I had to find something with some pics to be sure it didn't have a clip or something. :lol:

I take it the wood is for your bed? What kind of wood is it?

Re: 68 project
 

Yes it is, black walnut.

Re: 68 project
 

Hmmm, I think I really like the walnut. :mm:

Re: 68 project
 

me too.

Re: 68 project
 

Walnut is really nice.

Re: 68 project
 

Sweet, new grill ring bolts came in, I had a fun time removing the old ones. :waah:

Re: 68 project
 

My willwood calipers came in yesterday. Pretty straight forward install. Your wood bed looks great keep up the progress!

Re: 68 project
 

Thats good to know Jason, thanks for the feedback.

Re: 68 project
 

Removed the front sheetmetal today and cleaned up the cowl area and por 15 it before inner cowl install I may lay on another coat once that dries.

Re: 68 project
 

Also started getting the axles setup under the k10. :mm:

Re: 68 project
 

That looks really good.

Re: 68 project
 

Thanks, there is still a good bit of work left to reach my June goal but I think it is doable :chevy:

Re: 68 project
 

Wife booted me out today :lol: so I was able to get my tail gate blasted and trim holes welded up :mm: some progress is always a gain :chevy:

Re: 68 project
 

thats goin 2 B a beautiful bed !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Re: 68 project
 

Thank you , hopefully the rest of the truck is too :lol:

Re: 68 project
 

Boyd tank is ordered should be here the end of next week along with rear shock relocators :metal:

Re: 68 project
 

Lookin good!

I didn't realize you had the whole cowl off!!!

Re: 68 project
 

It was on when you were at the shop but I only had temporary screws holding it into place, :lol: I wanted under the cowl to be protected with something that would hold up so I cleaned it up good and brushed it with por 15 good and heavy. :smoke: Plus I am going to modify a drain to come out under the cab to prevent getting clogged and running down into the inner side of the fender.

Re: 68 project
 

That's a great idea!

Re: 68 project
 

Thanks I will post pics of it when I get it done, I never could understand the engineering behind some of this :lol:

Re: 68 project
 

Hopefully tomorrow will be a big day for "Project 68". I plan to sandblast some more parts which include the cross braces for the bed and get a coat of POR-15 on those and finish up the other tub and work on the gate some more. Seeing it is going to be warm tomorrow I can shoot some primer on the bedsides also :chevy:

Stay tuned for some update photos tomorrow :mm:

Re: 68 project
 

Cross sills are blasted and ready to por :mm:

Re: 68 project
 

Also laying down some primer :metal:

Re: 68 project
 

Rear tank is order so time to plug this hole up. :smoke:

Re: 68 project
 

Welded up and final skimmed, ready to sand and prime out . :mm:

Re: 68 project
 

The green panel corner :lol: :5150:

Re: 68 project
 

as advertised ......nice days work:) whats missing in the green panel corner hmmm a tailgate and a tub :) just busting, nice work on the fuel tank shave great progress

Re: 68 project
 

:lol: I know right I did get some grinding done on the gate and a skim coat on the other tub though. So they were not totally forgotten ;)

Re: 68 project
 

Making progress. Cool stuff.

Re: 68 project
 

Slowly but surely, the bed strips and bed bolt kits will be here Monday and the boyd rear tank will also be here next week from Azperformance :chevy:

Re: 68 project
 

Nice work, keep it up.

Re: 68 project
 

Man, you're rolling!!!

Re: 68 project
 

The tailgate needs a little more work than I expected but it will be a survivor, sand blasting tends to open up things that could nt be seen before :chevy:

Hopefully in about three weeks the bed will be completed and ready to bolt down permanently but there is still a good bit of work it is the small things you tend to forget that slow you down, I will have to get my fuel lines and brake lines bent and mounted before reinstalling any of the body. I will be removing the cab here before long so I can finish up the body work on it and get it painted and ready for permanent install.

Re: 68 project
 

Yeah I had 20 hours body work on the inside and outside of my tailgate. Wish I would have bought a new one. But not now. All original.

Looking good man. Love the wood floor.

Re: 68 project
 

That sounds reasonable :lol: I will probably have at least that into mine also if not more.

Re: 68 project
 

Bed skids came in today was able to get those primed and the last coat on my cross members for the bed :metal: Rear shock relocators also came in along with the bolt kit for the bed, tank is in Greensboro now so should be delivered tomorrow. :mm:

Re: 68 project
 

Looking good!

Re: 68 project
 

you putting the tank under the bed with filler cap in bed floor or how you doing that? Just curious. Trying to get mental pic. How are stencils coming along?
