Nice job on the cab repairs. I got to do that little trick with the welded nut on the inside of a peice of sheet metal also. Keep up the nice work!

Coming along nicely ! Still going with the gold color ? not sure what the actual name of the color is. Ive seen this one on one of the 60-66 FB pages.
I like it a lot.

Filling pin holes and pulling dents.

[Alan's Classic]

Removed broken mirrir bolt. Working door gaps. The door and cab coner wasn't even. Found a big dent I some how over looked. I was able to hammer and dolly it out. I spilt the metal and put it where I wanted it.

[daverod]

I thought about flaring it myself but I think I will let our local hose and tubing business make it up. I have been watching your build for awhile and awsome work.

Alan is great to work with. I would like to help more living a hour away limits that pretty well. But then again I stay out of his way and let the master work is magic.

I've herd the same thing and will let you know how it turns out.

[flips72]

looking good greg, what brand pump are you running? i have to get together with you and alan and check these trucks out in person, again great work.

[truknut]

Yeah Greg, I would like to see ya'll. My truck hasn't changed since you dropped the springs off. But feel free to drop in anytime.

The process of putting the rib in the floor. This will hold true for most patches.

First I cut out the new piece then taped it where I wanted it. Then I screwed it in place. I use a thin 1/16" cutoff wheel and cut out around it. I cut slits in the end to form the taper. Then used magnets to hold it in place while i tacked it.

You could also cut out the bad place then put it on the new patch and do it that way. Which the way I mostly do it, but I had such a small piece to work with I did it this way that is pictured.

[Alan's Classic]

I used a small screw driver to even the pieces up as i tacked it. Then welded by skipping around to keep the heat from wrapping the metal. Then ground the welds flat.
