Lookin good Jon, You need to do that grille thing we talked about.

RunninLo · 05-10-2008, 02:48 AM

Jon,
hey if you're interested in doing discs up front I still have that front end you saw. Also found stock height spindles in the back of the burb if you aren't into the drop ones.. Also have a later model 10 bolt 5 lug rear if you're thinking or need to do a 5 lug. Always up for some horse trading too. LMK. I've been trying to swing by but it's usually after work and I think you're already off to work. Sun/Mon I'll try again.
Josh

Cool! That C-60 grille looks awesome!!!

**scotts62** · 05-10-2008, 02:24 PM

LOL i stopped at this house yesturday while i was out running around for work to ask if a 61 was for sale, there was only cab and front end no bed or rearend, engine/trans and zero interior and not even glass, just a bare shell! and they wanted 500 firm

So yes very nice score for you!

FRENCHBLUE72 · 05-12-2008, 11:41 PM

Looking good keep up the good work....

jonzcustomshop · 05-29-2008, 04:34 PM

well, here is a pic of the front together...
I have been driving this for a week now, and it works great. I got the original cowl extension for the right side, and it still had the original antenna on it!
I plugged it in , and I have am radio!
soon I will replace the passenger bedside, and kdrodworks hooked me up with a NICE tailgate.
after that it will be done for a while: while I work on my other projects.

dallas77 · 05-29-2008, 05:45 PM

Looking Good Nice find!

Iron-Butt · 05-29-2008, 08:40 PM

looks great, nice truck.

jonzcustomshop · 04-14-2009, 03:26 PM

little update:new passenger door (no dents or rust!!), and new hood, no dents!
still working on replacing the bedsides, rear cross sill, ans gate.
walmart discontinued the spray paint that I used on the fenders,that was similar to the rest of the truck,so now I have to find another close color to paint this new stuff

jchav62 · 04-14-2009, 04:50 PM

Lookin' good!!

joe231 · 04-14-2009, 07:49 PM

Nice!!

kdrodworks316 · 04-14-2009, 09:35 PM

I got a full mix rack of paint, I will bring you some color chips and mix it up for you....

Joey~AP · 04-15-2009, 08:29 AM

Lookin good, Jon!

jonzcustomshop · 04-15-2009, 08:55 AM

here is the info lilred66 sent me... but I have no way to spray, other than rattle can.
Green, Light - Chevrolet RPO Color #503
DuPont #4728-L
Rinshed-Mason #A-1844
Ditzler #43523

I found the following information:

Green, Light - Chevrolet RPO Color #503
DuPont #4728-L
Rinshed-Mason #A-1844
Ditzler #43523

I would take a panel to your local auto paint store for color matching, along with this information. Due to the age and weathering of the sheet metal, you may not be able to match it, but these are the colors I pulled from the Chevrolet Truck Data Book.

RunninLo · 04-16-2009, 06:46 PM

I've got a nice SATA gun and a couple of others too I'm sure one of them would work on your truck jon.

Josh

jonzcustomshop · 12-02-2009, 07:43 PM

well, I did something to this besides drive it!
here is the old crashed up box and gate:
the right has the obvious damage, and the left was damaged in 2 spots, it was compressed from the telephone pole hit on the gate, and was also bent up from another collision with the step bumper.
the gate and rear sill were wiped out by the telephone pole hit.

jonzcustomshop · 12-02-2009, 07:47 PM

now for all the new parts:
a 60-62 bedside right, a 63 bedside left , a 66 rear cross sill, and a good gate (thanks KD)
I also put a different step bumper on it, since I tore up my other one trying to pull a tree out of the ground

( I will be more careful with this one)

jonzcustomshop · 12-02-2009, 07:55 PM

so here's a couple things I ran into with using different year bedsides:
the 65 has an extra hole right at the front for the front bed panel.
the 62 has the second cross brace in a different spot(see red marks), so I will have to drill and fill there.

at one point some one installed an air gate on the right bedside- thus the 6 extra holes- so sometime I will have to fill all those in.

... and the neat metal sculpture created by welding every broken bed bolt to the next to facillitate thier removal!

jonzcustomshop · 12-02-2009, 07:59 PM

I had to give up my good hood for my wifes '63,and I had been wanting to try a gmc hood anyway, so here is the new front look for now...
I am not sure if I like it or not.. we'll see if it grows on me

joe231 · 12-02-2009, 08:00 PM

Nice work Jon!!!
Looking good!!
You ought to keep that sculpture.
