Re: His name is "George" 84' C10
I'm liking the battery box. My 64 had a smallish sheet metal toolbox mounted in its bed. It had some old Gates belts, tire iron, a few bolts/screws, & a bunch of dirt
 . I thought of doing something similar & using it as my battery box since the 'patina' matches the inside of the bed perfectly. But, it's not tall enough which would require tweaking the bed wood to suit the needs…. Still undecided on mine but I like your set-up. I even used/had the same tool box for my dually before raising the bed floor. It's now used for parts storage in my shop office (it's like a coffee table in front of the futon)

Re: His name is "George" 84' C10
Busy and productive weekend. Was able to finally modify the inner fender wheel wells to allow those 295's to not hit when fully aired out. Used thin sheet metal and pop rivets and was able to bang it out in one day. Lost (2) mounting screws on each side, but still have about 5/8" clearance and retain the stock tubs. The undercoating covers everything up and as long as the water can't get in there, I'm happy.

Re: His name is "George" 84' C10
Started some work on a radiator overflow. I've collected some cool bottles over time and figured this would work perfectly, since the trucks name is George
Dusted off the ring roller and used a water jet cut star I got off of eBay as the base. Still learning the ins and outs of Tig, so will probably Bondo to clean it up and paint. |
