Re: Fixin Dixie - 66 Short Bed Fleetside
A few more hours of tinkering. I went ahead and welded up the other side just to be sure. Also I bought some square nuts that were nickel plated I think, so I took the sanding disc and ground the coating off all round then welded them in place. I have painted them with POR15 2 coats after I took this pic. Once it dries Ill start tacking it in, probably tomorrow.
On the front passenger pillar I remembered Vinceg had suggested welding the nuts to the patch panel that doesnt come with them. It was in a separate thread I had started when I was going to start making repairs to the cab and wanted advice. Here is a link to that thread. http://67-72chevytrucks.com/vboard/s...d.php?t=718071 Here is Vinceg's suggestion: Quote:
A couple of the bolts are missing (or deteriorated-cant remember) so I bought a few at home depot and cut them down and used the grinder to chew up that end post to help it guide into the panel from behind easier. The original bolts I clamped into a vise and wire wheeled the crud off to be able to reuse them. More later... |
