Bob could you tell us what thickness plate you used and how it's fixed to the bed?...this has got me thinking too, a few xtra pics of the bed would be cool if possible...

I'm guessing you are referring to the pics on pg. 1 which was in 2006. We are now on pg. 181 so you may want to PM Down South Truckin in case he does not follow this thread anymore. BTW.... to the board from SC.

JeffD, that's a good looking truck. Reminds me of the one I had -- 72 Cheyenne lwb, 402 and A/C, black on black from the factory. Yours is a lot cleaner, though.

I think your truck looks TOOUUGH!

The floorand head board are 1/8" held in place by the stock holes around the edges but I replaced all the carriage bolts with polished stainless bolts . I polished each one because they didn't carry polished carriage bolts.
The sides and tailgate are 1/16" held in place with tiny SS sheet metal screws

Bob, what air conditioning system did you use? also looks like your firewall has some sort of adapter for the hose/line installation to cover the existing holes in the firewall. most I see are flat and have had filler panels welded in and smoothed.

the whole firewall was recovered in a new piece of sheetmetal
it's vintage air ,those bulk head fittings used to come with the kit this is an older build

Does this Diamond Plate go right over the old floor? Is it one piece?

Heres my baby. I'm 16 and this is my first car. Me and my dad found it with a blown motor for real cheap and couldn't resist. We bought it and swapped the blown motor with a stock 350. Original Arizona truck but the previous owner before me drove down to Boise, Idaho to pick it up and brought it back to Winnipeg. Just waiting for the snow to melt before i can drive it again!

Thanks! it is quite the survivor, rust free! The cab mounts are barely even cracked! A good starting point for anything I really want to do to it. Thanks again!

I put in pt plywood as a new floor base . there is one joint right in the middle of the diamond brite but it is so tight you hardly see it

This has been my dream truck for over 10 years. I finally broke down and drove to Omaha, Nebraska in July of 2010 to pick this truck up. It has a built 350 that is putting out about 400HP. This truck is super clean and the body is in great shape. I spent the winter putting on a 4/6 drop kit from ECE, with front disc brakes. I wanted to keep the old school style so I went with American Racing Torq Thrust wheels. I plan on spending a lot more time and money on this bad boy in the future.
