Project "Schrum" 1959 Gmc 100

[SCHRUMGMC]

Alright everyone

I’m taking apart the inside of the cab so the rust repair
can begin.

I literally have everything to fix this truck

Mid June is when the cabs being sent off

[Denee007]

So, how do you send off a cab? You sure are hanging in there! Keep up the great work, and hey, post a few pics when you can
dne'

[SCHRUMGMC]

We are putting the cab on a trailer and sending it to where it’s being fixed at

[Denee007]

OK! looking good!

[SCHRUMGMC]

Some more progress on my old truck

[SCHRUMGMC]

Update: the cabs top is coming off and being replaced either today or later this week. Very excited for the progression on this truck

[Denee007]

I'm excited for your progression too! Looking great!

[SCHRUMGMC]

They’re getting ready to cut the top off and replace it with the new top I have


Got most of the rotted metal out

[Indian113]

Glad to see your working on your truck, so far SO Good!

[SCHRUMGMC]

Sure is great to be back
My trucks going to be that light green some day

Right now I am just focused on the rust

[dug224]

Man, that's some serious metal work. Shaping up!

[Denee007]

Just curious, but when putting the top on, do you have the windshield and back glass handy, or how do you make sure the glass will fit?

My 59 really isn't in the best of shape even though it has a nice paint job. But the front top windshield frame was down a bit in the front (not noticeable), I'm talking a tad and the glass wouldn't go in the normal way. Just make sure the clearances are right

Trust me this man knows what he is doing lol

He’s going to measure clearances and gaps to make sure they’ll mock up right

Will update this Friday with some more photos

[SCHRUMGMC]

The old rotted roof is off and the new roof is being prepared
to be put on the cab

I am very happy to see the doors are being hung before the roof is welded back on. that would be unfortunate if it went back together and the doors didn't fit.
big job coming along nicely. keep the pics coming.

Thanks, the truck means a lot to me and seeing the major progress inspires me to continue to work on it

Once the cab is finished the fenders and bed is next to have rust repaired

[SCHRUMGMC]

More progress on the truck

The cab roof is done

He’s finishing up with the cab and then it’s on to the doors
Because the man I paid 1,800 bucks to fix the doors, front fenders and bed screwed
everything up four years ago and Ted is having to repair the doors where the other guy screwed things up

[SCHRUMGMC]

This is what the previous so called repair man did 4 years ago

Yall see what’s wrong here?

The guy who thought he was a welder/fabricator
put new metal on top of old metal




::::::UPDATE::::::
But I’ll have more updates today as my friend is going
Over to the mans house who is repairing all of the rust

[SCHRUMGMC]

Another update

The cab is almost finished some more progress photos
Soon

[SCHRUMGMC]

Cab is done and the doors fit perfectly.

Roof was replaced
Both steps
Both cab corners
Dash in places

And a lot more was replaced

The cab is solid and so are the doors

Now the trucks bed and fenders can be repaired and the truck will be rust free

I’ll upload a video to YouTube so yall can see the doors shutting and how good they close

Yep. The cabs pretty much solid now

[SCHRUMGMC]

The trucks bed is being rust repaired right now and should be done in the next 2 weeks or so

For now I am putting primer on the bare metal places where rust was replaced on the cab

I’ll update with some photos when the bed makes some major progress

I have nearly everything for this truck and having wiring being made to fit my GMC
and will be plug and play.. very eager to get it

Here are some primer photos of the cab

[Indian113]

Keep up the good work, it's really taking shape.
