Re: Project: Recycle
I picked up a couple of parts @ the Pate swap meet this weekend that were needed. I got the BBW sheet metal needed to get the conversion process under way.
I got the bulk of a rear cab section & whittled it down to a more manageable size. From there it was the drill, pry, & split routine (over & over.... & over again  ). A couple hours later I was done.I hope to get started on removing the small window sheet metal this week & my buddy has cleared a spot in his shop to get some fresh interior color sprayed....

I suppose I am just a pervert from way back, but BBW means something completely different to me.

Re: Project: Recycle
I'm just saying if you do a google search on BBW you will find what I'm more familiar with and it doesn't mention old truck windows anywhere.

Re: Project: Recycle
Hhmm.... Is it just me, or does TX seem to know an awful lot about this 'other' BBW definition?? For some people, "way back" means last week when the bar closed on Sat night

Re: Project: Recycle
Wow, totally the wrong (or maybe perfect) time to open up this thread for a read.
SCOTI, very nice work so far, with so much attention to detail the end result is sure to be stunning. Subscribed for the ride.

Re: Project: Recycle
I got a little more done tonight but didn't take any pics.
I wanted to add some reinforcement plates for the R&P notches which requires some 're-work' the pass side front frame rail where the OE idler arm mounts on 67-72 frames (earlier frames don't have the dimples for the idler arm). My plan is to sandwhich the original portion of the frame immediately surrounding the notch between 2pcs of .1875" steel. This requires the frame to be as flat as possible so those 'dimples' had to go. I removed that portion of the frame & replaced it w/some flat steel (I used a section of the scrap frame for the flat piece). While re-working the area, I re-shaped the area on the top of the frame rail where it curved 'up' (I believe this was OE for fuel pump clearance on 292's & 396's). I flattened the top portion of the frame to be symmetrical w/the driver side. I also trimmed the rails up a little for a nice clean edge when transitioning from the upper a-arm/bag mount to the radiator core support area of the frame rails. I got the outside portion of the rail cleaned up after the welds were cooled; still need to do the inside. I also made my templates for the plates that will sandwhich the notches. I'll get some pics up tomorrow.....

Re: Project: Recycle
Hey Scoti... crazy question, but what steel/scrap yard are you using? I have always used Garland Steel, but man..last time I left with 64lbs of drop steel, I paid like $60. Alum would have probably been more.

Re: Project: Recycle
Alright.... A little more progress.
Friday I got the truck loaded up & got it moved over to a friends shop. He'll be letting me utilize some shop space to do the small to big back window conversion. We'll also be painting the interior while it's there & his glass guy will pop in some fresh front/rear glass. I still had a couple of things that needed to be finished on the frame. I needed to weld in some .500" solid rod on the rear bend of the rear c-notches. With the insight of Lakeroadster, the rear bend was determined to be the 'weak-point' of the re-worked c-notches. The solid rod will help re-inforce this possible stress point. While I had the frame flipped to do the rear, I also finished welding the bottom edge of the R&P c-notches in front. I'm in the process of making re-inforcement plates to help strengthen the frame area adjacent to the R&P notches & will try to get those finished up in the next couple of days. Pics of the solid rod welded to the rear bend of the rear c-notches....

The front notches are what 'everyone else' is installing w/their Dropmember installs. I decided I would prefer the frame around the notched area to be re-inforced. That's about it. I meant to take a couple of pics from where I smoothed the side of the frame rail & 'removed' the curved portion on the top of the frame but forgot....

Re: Project: Recycle
That is certainly going to be a stout notch! I'm interested in seeing the finished product.
As for the BBW conversion, I'm still pondering mine and am anxious to see step by step progress pics on yours. Don't forget to take the pics...
