clemson71guy · 10-14-2007, 05:06 PM

well i wet sanded on the cab a little today and got my uncle to spray some black on the bottom of the cab(because the the bottom of the cab wont be painted red). i am goin to try to finish wet sanding it after school tomorrow and hopefully get it painted by friday. and i will try to get some pictures of it by then.

1966gmc · 10-14-2007, 05:14 PM

Looks awesome so far

Spoof · 10-14-2007, 11:14 PM

You need cross member bolts...weird they're missing. Are there some on the bottom part of the frame, there must be. If there are none on the bottom a hit from a mallet should line up the upper holes, even if there are bolts in the bottom you should try and get the tops in. It could have been a standard at one time and someone slipped in the tranny x member when they swapped to auto but couldn't reach the tops and said "f it"

clemson71guy · 10-15-2007, 02:30 PM

Spoof. yes there are bolts in the bottom...i will go get a peice of wood and a mallet and knock the crap out of it hopefully it will line up.

clemson71guy · 10-15-2007, 04:09 PM

well i tried about every thing i knew to do and it still dident budge so i guss when me and my dad take it back down to the garage to put the cab on ill take the two bottom bolts out and line it up then.

clemson71guy · 10-16-2007, 07:42 PM

well not alot of progress but i did go out to the garage and take some pictures
i got this a couple of weeks ago

This is the drivers side front fender its in pretty good shape compared to the passenger side which we cut wat was left of the un rusted metal to patch the floor on the cab which was rusted really bad

the hood is in good shape

and this is my daily driver. a 2005 yamaha yz 250

(and yea the neibors get mad when i ride it around the yard but o well)

clemson71guy · 10-16-2007, 07:45 PM

forgot one here are the seats that i am getting to go in it

PDomes7277 · 10-17-2007, 09:23 PM

clemson71guy · 10-18-2007, 09:10 PM

clemson71guy · 10-19-2007, 01:52 PM
