Re: my 65 fleetside build
Wow, you must have a huge driveway......that figures out to be about 6118 sq ft. A good crew can do that in a day....might be a long day, depending on the temperature.

Re: my 65 fleetside build
yeah captainfab, its 100ft long and 60x32 between the shop and the house and 16ft wide at the road, then i am pouring a 38x32 beside the shop,probably wont happen tommorrow though,calling for snow just my luck. i did get the driver door stripped tonight and of course its not what i was hoping for but i guess you cant expect alot from 47 year old body parts. i will try to post some pics tommorrow.

Re: my 65 fleetside build
started on the driver door today, had a terrible gap at the rear of the door, done some research in paint and body and found a great thread by the astronaut where you use a 1/8 welding rod as a filler, worked great very time consuming but well worth it. the first pic is what i started with and then the progress

Re: my 65 fleetside build
How did you go about applying the Raptor kit? Did you spray it or roll it on?

Re: my 65 fleetside build
Wow that turned out totally awesome!
Soooooo let me guess here, from the pic of the rod tacked on, to the pic showing a smooth door and filled gap you.... ... spot welded the rod probably jumping 4 to 6 inches between each tack until it was fully filled top to bottom... then you ground down your welds flush with the door skin .... then some filler? sanding? then primer? I gotta ask because the trial and error method I been using is eating up more time than is enjoyable any longer, and man your stuff looks fantastic!

Re: my 65 fleetside build
Back in your first post...your fist two pictures (one of them attached here)...Do you mind if I ask you some quesitons about your suspension?
Love those wheels, by the way! What lowering, if any, has been done on your truck in those photos? I just love the way it sits and would like to use this as a data point for when I get around to putting a truck together someday. Also...what diameter and width are those wheels, if you don't mind? Sorry if you covered this elsewhere in the thread. I was mainly looking at photos but was scanning for this info (albeit, 1/4-assedly). I did see that you plan to go lower with drop spindles...so I'm assuming you don't have drop spindles on it now. Thanks! Clem

Re: my 65 fleetside build
I'm with you Clemsparks his truck sit perfect. I am not into the slamed to the ground trucks, whats the point. But that is just an older generation view ( I'm 47)
Flips72 the work on your door gap is awsome need to tell us your process for sure. By the way I would never redo the bedside you fixed the old one really well. |
