Re: My 1970 GMC Project
You might as well just cut the cab in half and extend it 4" for more room while you're at it.

Re: My 1970 GMC Project
Metal work is looking great man. Are you waiting to have all the metal work done before spraying your primer?

Re: My 1970 GMC Project
Thanks! I will probably prime areas as I finish them. I think ill do half the cab once it is ready and the other half later.

Re: My 1970 GMC Project
Well its not alot of progress but I have one of the splices welded up and ground down. I dont have any play by play pictures, just the finished one. I mean it is probably a good thing, you guys must be sick of seeing the same thing over and over.

Re: My 1970 GMC Project
Well it seems that every time I have a day set to get out into the shop, it just doesn't work out. So progress has been slow for sure but I promise there is a reason. Life is going to change come May so I have really been busy in the house getting the rest of the renovations done in the bedrooms. I went a little over the top painting in the baby's room but it turned out awesome! I have saturday set aside though so I can get back on track. If all goes to plan, the passenger rocker will finally be welded in by the end of the day.

Re: My 1970 GMC Project
Thanks man! I just finished up baseboards in the room today. Now we just have to fill it up with furniture. As for the truck, the rocker should be installed Wednesday evening.

Re: My 1970 GMC Project
Well would you look at that. I managed to sneak out in the shop last night and finish the prep on the rocker. I didn't like the way they made the front of the rocker with the lapped metal and large hole which is extremely in accessible so I cut that all up and welded it in nice and flush. The only thing left to do before I weld the rocker in is spray the weld through and hang the door for proper alignment. I plan to have it done tonight!

Re: My 1970 GMC Project
No progress on the truck to report but I have been cleaning my shop. I got myself a bolt bin which will be nice. Now I won't have to spend half my evenings looking for bolts and such. I also got a bunch of stuff off the floor by building a recycling/garbage center. That should greatly improve cleanup time in the future. I also found myself a computer monitor that I have hooked up as a small TV in there now. I am still doing a major deep clean at the moment so probably won't have any progress for another week or so but it sure feels good to have a clean shop.

Re: My 1970 GMC Project
Hey right on man! I wasn't aware that they can be flipped. No clue how though. I have my bolt bin all filled up now. Just about done with the deep clean. Just the toolbox left to sort out now.

Re: My 1970 GMC Project
Update on passenger side rocker. I ground down all my plug welds and the difficult to grind seam at the back edge tonight. I also started to weld the door seam the rest of the way. Couple more evenings on this side and I should be able to jump over and start the driver side rust repair.
