Re: A 15 year old's project. Rusty 62 stepside
So I made a relief cut and bent it then filled the open area with new metal. It fits pretty good now

Re: A 15 year old's project. Rusty 62 stepside
With lots of modifications to the cab support I finally got it welded in. The next step is to patch the floor above the support.

Re: A 15 year old's project. Rusty 62 stepside
Just A thought .When you get the hood make sure you get the latch parts.And the center support that has the catch portion.They are different and can be hard to find.

Re: A 15 year old's project. Rusty 62 stepside
Did some work on the alternator brackets today. Used the bottom bracket from the generator that bolts to the block and drilled two new holes so the alternator could move forward and Line up with the pulleys. Then I welded on a tab in the middle with a hole drilled in it and left a little space so I can shim it to sit in the right spot.

Did some work on the cab corner today. Instead of buying a new cab corner I'll be repairing the old one. Here the rust on the old one, about 1-2" of it is completely gone |

Re: A 15 year old's project. Rusty 62 stepside
And here's the new patch panel just being held up. I bent it to match the rest of the cab. All bends were made using just a vise and hammer

Re: A 15 year old's project. Rusty 62 stepside
Beauty! A break press is ideal, but a hammer or swing wrench, as I like to call it around the shop, will do just fine hahaha. Great job, looking forward to seeing that cab corner come together

Re: A 15 year old's project. Rusty 62 stepside
Nice going. Where I live there are not many people here building stuff. Just buying new. I am trying to get my son into building a truck for himself. He is only 13 so we have a few years to get it done. I have an extra short bed truck for him. Nice thing is I have some rust free parts including a cab and doors so it makes it easy.
