Gee I guess I'll chime in late since it's almost the weekend again.
Spent friday ripping up concrete in the shop. Still havent been able to really use the new lift we got back in December since the floor was too questionable for safety. Ripped up one section that was test drilled and found to be a whoppibng 2". Figured the other section would be about the same, it ended up being 6" which was perfect but we dident know until it was too late. Spent saturday pouring and finsihing the new concrete which is nice and thick now (overkill) with 5/8 rebar supports. The lift aint going no where.
Today I got a new/used box for the 76 from a 86 4x4. The box is in good shape with only a few surface rust spots here and there and the corners around the wheel wells are just starting to go so it's very saveable. The best part is it has the factory paint still on it and has absolutly NO BONDO!
no filler yet anyway.
The tailgate is perfect and the aluminum end peice doesent have a scratch on it. The floor is 100% better then mine but most trucks havent seen the abuse the 76 has. Now I just need to figure out how I'm going to pay the guy I got it from since taxes killed me and I havent had any real work in two weeks.
Common, AC season get here already!
Oh if anyone is looking for a super clean cab/front clip with no rust keep an eye peeled on ebay. The guy I got the bed from is going to list it all since he's using the frame/engine for a 47 chevy truck street rod monster truck 4x4project rolling on 44's. I'm going to get some pics up on the site when were done with it since I'm going to end up getting suckerd into helping.
Note: I'm not selling any of the parts mentioned above per site regulations. Just giving you all a heads up on some good stuff.
