Re: What Did You Do With Your Truck Today ?

Made a templet and cut out my first kickpanel for the drivers side. Had to use a cutting wheel as the air cutter broke the blade on contact with the sheet metal. It won't cut 18 ga. like the said it would.... Big suprise HF tools. At any rate came out pretty good, work on the floor panel tonight. Thinking of making it in one piece instaead of two. Since I need to go up the fire wall about 10" or so. any thoughts?

Re: What Did You Do With Your Truck Today ?

I do bodywork for a living and I bring in parts from my project (51 Chevy 1/2 ton) to work on during lunch break, after work etc...Finished the bodywork and priming of one of the fenders!! I fixed the worst one first, so hopefully the next 3 won't seem so bad...

I had all my extra trim pieces for sale such as 2-1/2 sets of SS windshield trim, SS door trim inside & out, 3 sets of headliner bows, lower fender repair patches, front valance, etc...all kinds of small stuff. All used parts.
One guy is picking it ALL up and paying me what I was asking, $560, no haggling. I would have taken $3-400 but I like his style.
Woo Hoo, here comes my new MIG welder!

Well for the last couple days I've been adapting the bed wood from a 50 panel truck that my buddy doesn't want. I'm hoping to finish my bed today. He's doing a full on resto. 15yr project

Re: What Did You Do With Your Truck Today ?

This last weekend we installed a plywood bed floor and a hinged bed cover. Its not fancy but its clean and I am happy with it. I left the gas cap slightly elevated for now because I think I will put a rubber mat over the wood.
