Re: Project 78 High Sierra
Next time make an event out of it. Invite a few friends, buy some burgers/hot dogs and offer to feed and fellowship in exchange for a little bit of help getting the shop done.

Re: Project 78 High Sierra
Drove the truck to work yesterday and the exhaust hangers broke! So i ended up dragging it around part way to work...What part I dont know because I didnt notice until i got there.... Eitherway, I had a clothes hanger and a Fence tie that held it up until i got her home. Bought new hangers to install over the weekend...Sheesh...Rust Buckets

Re: Project 78 High Sierra
This build has actually inspired me to start fixing up my old 76 C20 so keep up the good work.

Re: Project 78 High Sierra
Well did a few things on the workshop to get it ready for plywood next week. Simple stuff like additional cement anchor screws and adding an inside corner 2x4 to connect inner plywood/drywall to.
Then on to the truck....Went and go some fastener for the door panels but was out of luck so i could only install one door panel and order the other fastener set. Had to modify the window cranks to make them fit but i got them to...Dont like how they hold on so im adding holes to these stupid cranks to make them more solid otherwise they just wobble a bit...stupid stupid design Also whats up with aftermarket door lock pins? 1/2" of screw and bam...your done...So now i have a 1/4" of screw showing at the bottom when unlocked? WTF!!!?!!! Now im going to have to cut off a 1/2" of that lock piece to make them fit nicely sheesh....Garbage

Re: Project 78 High Sierra
I was looking at a set of window cranks like those on Ebay but not so sure i want them now they had them in plain, red and blue. Looked cool but if they wobble it will just drive me nuts.

Re: Project 78 High Sierra
I just got back from Auto-zone. I bought a pair of door lock knobs and the package says if they don't fit they want you to actually cut the factory door lock rod down 1/4 of a inch at a time till they fit!!!!!
Hopefully the ones I got are long enough.

Re: Project 78 High Sierra
The ones I bought fit well, they are made of metal with a little bit of wood trim. When unlocked the bottom is still below the door panel.

Re: Project 78 High Sierra
These are replacing the ones I got from Classic industries. They were more expensive, made of plastic, were not threaded correctly, were to short and broke two days later.....
