Plans and info for the project

small block, th350, and 3.73 posi- already got
raise the bed floor-maybe
shave some stuff
rear dropmember trailing arm set up
keep it simple
Now for some pics




Heres some pics of where i shaved about 50 snap buttons off



The only rust on the cab i had to fix there is still one small pin hole under the lip that i cant get to any ideas on how to fix it, doesnt have to be pretty.

i just replaced that same area lol. it wasnt easy, and it really didnt come out pretty. but at least its rust free and my carpet will cover it up. looks like you have a solid project. you gonna do all the work?

Heres the old cab that i will finish.





Cab corner didnt fit quite right, nuthn some filler wont take care of

a couple of questions, what filler should i use to put on the welds to keep moisture out of the pin holes, fiberglass right?
And who thinks i should run trim?

[mike14_07]

yup everything, maybe not paint, because i dont have a booth, and for what i would pay for a gun my dads buddy would paint it, and he is one of the best custom painters around.

Anybody know what i can use to get in there to grind this?

And there's a super small hole, probly cant see it, what can i use fill it, cant get my welder in there. i plan on putting some seam sealer in there will this suffice? probly por15, the whole floor and under the cab then raptor line it, will this do a good job of stopping and preventing rust in the future?

Nice project you have going. Yep. I have had good luck with Por-15. Just get some and follow the instructions and it will explain how much you need to do before you apply. I think it will save you alot of work you just need to clean the area. Good luck

[mike14_07]

finished the fire wall, started on my door bottoms, then threw it together to get a look. Thats my dad in the picture

[mike14_07]

Got my dropmember in. Which was way easier than i expected. still have to press in the lower ball joints tomorrow. and my bags should be in tomorrow too.




the notch cut outs arent perfect. pass. side is a bit too high like 1/16-1/8 at most.
