Today I have,and I am still in the process of stripping the cab.I have the carpet and all out but still need to get the a/c and gauges and all out.Maybe even the windows.Whether I use the cab or not,it still needs the goodies out

1969k10stepside · 03-28-2007, 06:17 PM

Well,I just forked up some money and bought a different shortbed for it thats in way better shape.Now just have to head to northern Indiana to get it this weekend

1969k10stepside · 03-28-2007, 08:56 PM

Here is pics of the $350 bed I bought,payed more for it than I did the entire shortbed 4x4

Has some surface rust on the side but the blaster should take care of it.Now the other short fleet bed is getting parted out...

I wouldn't sand blast the side. Sand the heck out of it with some 80 grit on the DA.

Then use some steel wool and navel jelly on any rust that is still there.

1969k10stepside · 03-30-2007, 12:07 AM

What ever I do....I will start this weekend.Going to make the 500 mile there and back trip to get it Saturday and hopefully will make a rolling stand and start working on it this Sat. night or Sunday

RACINJASON22 · 03-30-2007, 12:30 AM

If your old bed got the nickname cheese-grater what would you call mine? Meat-Grinder? Nice find for $350 on the bed. Now find me one for that price

1969k10stepside · 03-30-2007, 11:43 PM

Ebay can be your friend.Thats where I bought the bed,and Im sure there is more around....
Tomorrow after the 10 hour round trip,I expect to be home around 4 so I will have some pics then of the bed

1969k10stepside · 03-31-2007, 09:07 PM

Well,Im back home,with a new short fleet bed.........and the motor is also nearly done.Just need to install crank,heads,and intake,carb,ect

1969k10stepside · 04-01-2007, 08:33 PM

Today I did,and I still am in the process of unbolting the new bed so I can blast it.Will have some pics shortly....

1969k10stepside · 04-02-2007, 10:35 PM

$625 later and my motor is back home(well,In the shop next to the new bed).Now just to get it back together.....The only thing left to buy is a carb and distributor.The cam,pistons,crank,rods,gaskets,and everything else is scattered about and ready to go in

1969k10stepside · 04-04-2007, 09:18 PM

Tonight I have managed to get half the new bed unbolted.Now Im going to go work on the motor.Friday,the old bed comes off.....

1969k10stepside · 04-05-2007, 05:18 PM

Here is pics of the bed,they were from before the bed was dissassembled.The bed is upside down,so you may need to look upide down to see it properly

Well,I hate rusty bolts.On the brite side,I did manage to get one wheel tub off.Tomorrow I have 3 bolts to unbolt and then the passenger side bed panel comes off.Hopefully as soon as I get some primer I can blast the wheel tub and primer it

1969k10stepside · 04-08-2007, 04:31 PM

Today,well I managed to clean and paint the V8 motor crossmember.I also cleaned and painted the ultra rare 205 T case skidplate......did some more work on the bed and Im going to finish stripping the cab.Im going to use the drivers side bed side off the old bed on the new bed since its in a little better shape.

JAKES 68GMC · 04-08-2007, 04:37 PM

Where did you get your cam? It's and RV one, right? What brand is it? how much did it cost??

estig70 · 04-09-2007, 04:26 PM

Man this is one heck of a build, nice detailed write up. I have recently started on a 70 short step 4x4 and I am shaking in my seat right now just itching to get back into it. Need some nice rear fenders, know where I can get some? Keep up the good work!!!

I'd have to look,I havent even been to the shop since Sunday

I just bought it where I had the machine work done on the block.Dont know the individual price of the cam,it was all together for one price

Thanks,and I cant help you on the sides,I only have fleetside parts.Maybe some day I will make my way down there in mine when it runs.....

1969k10stepside · 04-11-2007, 10:26 PM

Tonight with some extra time I had I managed to get the crank in the block.Also managed to get the cam in.The rings are now on the pistons.Next chance I have,the lifters,pistons,and everything else are going on.Hopefully the motor will be done up to the point that I install the carb and distributor by Sunday

JAKES 68GMC · 04-12-2007, 05:52 PM

Did you find out what brand the cam was?

1969k10stepside · 04-12-2007, 11:53 PM

I looked and had forgot by the time I got inside

I will look again tomorrow....

68c-10 · 04-13-2007, 10:04 AM

Nice work! I am glad you saved that truck from the crusher. It will really be a sharp one when you are done. I love the look of the lift and the 35's

1969k10stepside · 04-14-2007, 07:17 PM

Thanks...so far today I managed to get the other wheel tub off.I have to do some grinding and the drivers side bed panel comes off.The tailgate is off.
I also managed to get some more motor work done.....But,the day isnt over yet.

msgross · 04-14-2007, 07:20 PM

your hardcore...all I did was cut down a tree, put up two new swings for the kids today!

I'm hoping to finely start making some progress this week, I took leave all week just to work on the truck! Then the Colonel calls me in on Friday afternoon and tells me that I have to run the Emergency ops center Sunday night (7pm-7am) so Monday is half shot now.

don't forget our lovely pics... did you get the camera fixed?

1969k10stepside · 04-14-2007, 08:40 PM

Well,now 2 pistons are in permanently......and the bed panel is off.Now all the bed parts are sitting in the bed thats on the truck.
And...
Nope,I havent got the camera back yet.I hope to have it back in time to show the pretty 350 all painted orange with all the goodies.Also hope to get it back before I get the bed together so I can do a FAQ thread.And also so I can show the bed in primer.....
BTW,Mike,you have a pm regarding cab mounts.
