Got lots done today
Got my seat and gas tank out to find out the mice did get to the truck

The gas spill did a number to my driveway

62stepside longbox · 10-11-2015, 09:16 PM

Made myself an inner rocker

62stepside longbox · 10-11-2015, 09:18 PM

Got the monster dent out of the corner of the cab

RANDY COX · 10-12-2015, 09:07 AM

Looking good, I see the Infamous green paint under that orange, they must have painted over half of these trucks built that green..

62stepside longbox · 10-12-2015, 09:16 PM

Welded in the inner fender that I made and did some other body work. Once I get my rocker in and grind down some of the welds, it will look like new

. I also have plans to soon make some custom door sill plates.

Good job on the inner rocker. Made it yourself and saved some money.

Tell me about it. I was on a road trip and pulled over to take a look at a truck I spotted, a stepside longbox that was orange with the same turquoise underneath. It wasn't a 62, but pretty darn close.

62stepside longbox · 10-17-2015, 02:13 AM

Got my engine back together and now I'm having starter problems. Pulled the starter out today and will bench test it tomorrow

TJ's Chevy · 10-17-2015, 10:52 AM

Great job working the metal.

Thanks tj, still have rust repair to do on every panel but the hood

62stepside longbox · 10-19-2015, 02:08 AM

Cut the rib off of the bondo covered fender and welded it on to the red gmc fender that I got. Also welded on the bottom corner patch panel. The picture looks bad but it is all squared up and has the right curve to it. A little grinding smooth and it will look like new. Looks like I have a new Franken fender

62stepside longbox · 10-19-2015, 08:46 PM

Got my radio polished up and painted and stained and cleared the knobs that I made from maple.

TJ's Chevy · 10-19-2015, 09:15 PM

Good job on the radio! Looks good.

62stepside longbox · 10-20-2015, 11:05 AM

Thanks tj, thought I would finish this to take a break from the rust

62stepside longbox · 10-26-2015, 09:08 PM

Cleaned all of my terminals and now the starter works beautifully

TJ's Chevy · 10-26-2015, 10:46 PM

Don't worry tj

i just need to rig up a temporary gas tank and I will make a video

62stepside longbox · 10-27-2015, 09:12 PM

Decided to try some simulated wood grain for the first time on the ash tray handle to match the radio knobs. Turned out pretty nice and I may do it on other pieces.

TJ's Chevy · 10-27-2015, 09:27 PM

Looks good.
