Re: 1969 Short Wide
Looks like fun. I need to do the same job soon.
Looks like your TIG welding left things pretty clean. Nice work.

Re: 1969 Short Wide
Great job Mike, your cab looks alot like my cab when I started. It was basically rusted in the same exact spots.

Re: 1969 Short Wide
Nice work! What's your process for cleaning up your welds?

Re: 1969 Short Wide
Thanks Gringo,
I start with a 36 grit 3M then go to 60 grit same disc. (these aren't cheap but work good with Mig welds) After that I'll use the DA with a 3M 120 grit to find the low spots and blend it. I still need to go back with hammer and dolly on some low areas but it's pretty dang close on most areas. |

Re: 1969 Short Wide
Thanks for the complement. Don't kid yourself; I know you can handle it. I try to learn something new every day. That's why my build is a compilation of what I see on this board. I never would have done half the things on mine if it wasn't for this board.

Re: 1969 Short Wide
Excellent rust removal on the cab!
I think that scrap yard panel is off of one of our air conditioners, I've made a few (thousands) of those.

Re: 1969 Short Wide
Thanks for the complement. Yep, it was from a scrap yard over on eastern. I wish I would have had more cash with me at the time when I bought this a few years ago. It cost me $12 for two pieces. I guess you know it's coated?aluminized and powdercoated or similar? I would like to get some more. There was two thickness. Both are great for making patches.

Re: 1969 Short Wide
More on the drivers side. It took some serious time to get to this point. The work is pretty straight forward and I test fit the door three times during the rocker install. Not convinced it's perfect but I think I can make it work. We'll see
Por-15 coating on all the areas that don't get welded. Using my spot welder instead of the mig. |

Re: 1969 Short Wide
Made a patch to fill the gas tank hole.
Tig welded it in: Well, Here is what the passenger side looks like, Amazing both cab corners were really not bad at all but the rear supports were trashed and it rusted from the inside out. More to come this week...... |
