Killer score on the Porterbuilt gear! Nice work on the cab corner too. Keep up the good work.

I agree, I am not well suited for sheet metal repair!

So... (It's never good when the conversation begins with "So...")

So I am thowing in the towel on the rust repair and taking the cab up to DeWayne and his crew at Nsane Hot Rodz. Plans for the moment include blasting and priming the sheet metal, rust repair, as well as powder coat for the frame and suspension parts. I just do not have the talent or the temperment to accomplish the repairs to the level I want them done. I'd like to have a nice straight truck and I think this is the best avenue to reach that goal. While the sheet metal and frame are gone I'll work on the detailing the engine and transmission. Oh, and clean up my garage!!

slowcpe · 03-31-2015, 06:08 PM

Frame looks good. Looking at that new crossmember makes me want one even more now. Gotta draw the line somewhere.

Understand the body work deal. I'm considering your plan as a backup but going to try and give it a go first.

**GAc10boy** · 03-31-2015, 06:54 PM

Good plan, Buck! Looking forward to seeing their work.

Sounds like a good plan. You know what you want and you have to do what is best for you. I've seen some of their work. They look like they are super skilled. Looking forward to update pics.

Thanks Mike, I'm so freakin' squirrely with my plans you'll never know which direction this project will go from one day to the next! We have swapped comments on this before but there is no doubt what you did with your truck was very impressive and I wish could have done this myself for the pride of it and the cost savings. I'd love to wear the moniker "Built Not Bought" on my sleeve but I want a nice truck so based on my abilities I'm going to have to buy some of mine!

Thanks again for the encouragement, I'll try to keep up with some meaningful updates.

C10_ustacould · 04-02-2015, 11:59 PM

Loaded and ready for the trip to Nsane Hot Rodz, looking forward to meeting the crew.

Dont feel bad ... Im in talks with my local body fab guy about my body work too. Doing some custom stuff and I have no clue how to get what I want done... Sometimes you just have to let the pros do what they do

1stchevy · 04-03-2015, 04:19 AM

It's good to know ones limitations and not end up making things worse and costing yourself more time & money along the way. Nothing wrong with that at all, I applaud your attempt to even try.

**RRR18** · 04-03-2015, 07:23 PM

Thought I was watchin this one

I am now.

C10_ustacould · 04-05-2015, 10:22 PM

Well, it was a whirlwind trip to drop the truck off, 1100 miles in 22 hours to be exact. Here is a pic of my pile-o-parts in the Nsane Hot Rodz shop. (photo credit to @nsanehotrodz) I am really looking forward to seeing this old heap whipped into shape.

When we arrived home I was greeted by a box containing my Boyd Welding EFI fuel tank courtesy of Travis at Pro Performance. Many thanks to Travis and Dave for partnering to provide a group buy and a great product.

Thanks for the reminder, I'm trying to forget that day! Honestly, buying this truck was not the smartest thing I've ever done and as you can see I'm really paying for it now.

I'm hopeful the rest of my dealings in building this truck will prove to be honest with positive outcomes. I think I have a solid plan and as long as I can stay focused and adhere to it from here on out we should have a really nice truck before too long.

c10Dream'n · 04-07-2015, 09:05 AM

OH MAN, sorry to poor salt in the wound. Nonetheless the project is looking sharp.

A few more details and it will be ready for powder coat.

smbrouss70 · 04-09-2015, 12:50 AM

Nice! You do know how to put it all back together, right?

aggie91 · 04-09-2015, 10:30 AM

Nice.

Better bag up those bolts/nuts/washers before you loose something...LOL

Don't forget to remove the cab mount bushings before taking it to get coated...

FRANKENSTEINC10 · 04-09-2015, 11:22 AM

Very nice. My wife got into the habit of throwing out bags for whatever reason. so when I did my last engine swap, I used her plastic bowls.

Last night was about disassembly, tonight will be about organizing and documenting.

I was thinking about tupperware, seems like there is a bunch of it in the house. They'll clean right up after, right??

As long as you remember the golden rule...deny, deny until you die..!!

Its looking cool Buck. Nice to start from the ground up. Gonna be a nice looking set up after the powder coat.

C10_ustacould · 04-14-2015, 06:14 AM

Got the first round of pictures from DeWayne and the folks at Nsane Hot Rodz... The cab floor is like swiss cheese in places with little holes sort of all over the place, but not nearly as bad as a few of you have experienced, and a few other areas I wasn't planning for will also need attention.

It's great to see these guys jump right on your project! It looks like your repairs will be done correctly and you will have a great cab when done.
Most of these old trucks have way more rust than people think.
The blaster will find it, no doubt.
Keep the pictures coming.
