Re: 1966 C10 Father Son Build

In parallel to playing in the shop on my battery box, I continued to work on the patch panels. Like I mentioned before, not the best fit. The rear cab support was so bad, I basically had to cut it apart and piece it back together with some metal I fabbed up myself. The bottom piece I will keep and put new side pieces and flanges.



It looks easy, but this took two hours of trimming and making cardboard templates to get it all to line up. I also have the outer rocker panel fit up.

Notice the gaps to the a and b pillar. I am not to worried about these, I am pretty sure i will be able to get the metal to form into place.





Before I weld any more, y plan is to fit the doors back up and make sure my gaps look good.

I also picked up a brake booster and master cylinder off craigslist and ordered Captain Fabs bracket. I can not say enough about how helpful he has been in pointing me in the right direction on the booster and master cylinder. It is guys like him that make these forums so helpful and fun to be a part of!
