Re: A 15 year old's project. Rusty 62 stepside
Picked up some stainless steel bolts for my rear fenders. Instead of buying the expensive ones from lmc, I went to a fastener supplier and told him what I was looking for and that they were for my old truck and he gave em to me for $15

Re: A 15 year old's project. Rusty 62 stepside
The fan looks good cleaned up. It probably takes about the same power as a heater blower so your alt. should be fine to drive it. Don't forget to use anti seize on the stainless bolts.

Re: A 15 year old's project. Rusty 62 stepside
Fixed all the rust in the tailgate today. this was a bit of a difficult one, I had to make the bends using my own ghetto metal brake. It consisted of two thick and long pieces of angle iron in a vise and lots of other clamps. And the steel was donated from the hood of a 73-87 truck. In the small lip I drilled holes and filled them with spot welds. I'm pretty happy with it, the welds still need to be ground down.
Here's before: |

Re: A 15 year old's project. Rusty 62 stepside
The cast aluminum base of the fan had 3 out of 4 corners cracked off and only one hole left so out came the long strand fibreglass. Turned out pretty strong. After lots of sanding and redrilling the holes it looks right again, a coat of paint and you won't even be able to see where it broke.

Re: A 15 year old's project. Rusty 62 stepside
Hello everyone, I hate to admit it but I screwed up. The panel that I just put on the tailgate didn't quite workout the way I wanted, I tried to keep as much of the original metal as possible but ended up messing up the line because some of it was new and some of it was the old metal and the bends didn't line up correctly. I wanted it to be right so out came the angle grinder with cut off wheel. I then made a new panel and made it go down the same amount all the way across. Got it welded on but still need to grind the welds down. I'm very satisfied with it now it's pretty much perfect.
The old panel ripped off |

Re: A 15 year old's project. Rusty 62 stepside
Also cut the hooks for the tailgate chains off as I'm going to eliminate the chains and use cables on the inside

In for the build. Wish my metalwork/welding skills looked like yours.

Re: A 15 year old's project. Rusty 62 stepside
the rear cab mounts/cab corner area is going to be the most challenging spot and I'm thinking of getting started on them soon but they are so rusty I don't don't what there supposed to look like. It would be great if someone could get a picture of the rear cab mounts/cab corner. Thanks
