My 60 Chevy Shop truck build

I just bought a 60 Chevy short /narrow Pick up. It is a little rough. I Know I have a 59 Fleetside build thread in the 47-59 board. But since that is more of a high dollar build, I kind of put it on the back burners. This truck(the 60), is running a Mr Goodwrench Vortek engine with a Holly 600. Saginaw 4speed, and the original rear (super low geared, have to change). Here is what it looked like when I first got it.


The first thing I did was replace the newer hood with the proper 1960 hood.


As you can see in the second picture I already welded the rust on the doors and fenders.

next it was the rockers and floor boards. these had to be replaced with new parts.





I got one rocker installed, will update as I continue.

Re: My 60 Chevy Shop truck build

Not that fast, I've had it for about a month. I just ordered new cab corners and rear bed steps. I tried to fix the small holes in the cab corners, there was no good metal to weld to. Good thing parts a pretty cheap for these trucks.

Re: My 60 Chevy Shop truck build

Welcome to the dark side as we call it.

I see you installed the outer rocker first.....I've been doing that last. I'm curious to see how the floors and inner rockers go for you doing it this way.

Re: My 60 Chevy Shop truck build

The inner and outer are installed together (boxed in as in pic if you look closely). I installed them first to give me something to weld the floorboard to. The rockers are a direct replacement, while the floorboards have to be trimmed to fit. I don't see how you could do it the other way around. I actually completed the both sides just no pictures yet.

Re: My 60 Chevy Shop truck build

Here is the link to my fleetside build
http://67-72chevytrucks.com/vboard/s...d.php?t=348746
I finished the flood boards. I used the trim style floor pieces. I used the original mounts section and just covered it with the new parts (the mount section wasn't rusted bad) I cut off the bad metal, the coated what was left with Eastwood rust stabilizer before I tacked the patches on. Then used seam sealer to finish it up.


I found a little more rust on the hood. Welded that up and did some body work.



Got one of the fenders almost ready.

I haven't got the cab corners in yet, thats next.

Re: My 60 Chevy Shop truck build

Got a little more work done this weekend. Finally got the cab corners fixed. Welded just enough to fix the rust ( stayed with a lot of new steel that wont go to waste). Found some lead work that had been done on the passenger side.



Here is after the initial body work. Still needs the final blocking and to clean up the bottom edge.



Also found a little rust on the rear fender when I removed the stepside.

Re: My 60 Chevy Shop truck build

A little spare time after work yesterday. Got the lower rear fender (rust ) repaired


And put together the chrome grill I found on line. I found the grill and headlight bezels at a truck junk yard in MN. I replaced the headlamp adjusters on my old headlamp assemblies. I haven't decided what color to go with the center bars. Either silver (stock color) or the color I'm painting the truck.

Re: My 60 Chevy Shop truck build

Got some work done these last couple of days. I started on the area below the rear window. Boy did it have a lot of dents. 50 years of work will do it.



With this, and all the sanding and dings around the grill opening. It looks like my cab is ready. (except for the small ding I found at the center of my hood Where the chevy emblem goes)



I have the three cowl pieces sealed and ready also.

Actually this was just going to be my shop parts hauler LOL. I am leaving the Mr Good-wrench 330 hp crate engine alone. I have an 03 Cobra I run at the track. My procharged Vette isn't a slouch either. My other truck build (see sig) should be a runner (haven't done anything to the 59 for about 9 months) . I just don't have time for them all. I do most of the work myself.
