Re: What did you do to your truck today?
GMR-Performance,
You need to get the front door checks off a Square body Jeep Cherokee. They're a direct bolt in and and fairly plentiful at the local Pick N Pulls etc. To get the checks off the Cherokee you only need a small hammer and a punch to drive out the roll pin (same size that's on your truck) a small knife to cut the plastic moisture shield behind the door panel, a flat blade & phillips screw driver and a 10 MM wrench (box wrench or 1/4" drive ratchet) if the Cherokee has roll up windows just grab the handles and yank - they pull right off no clips or anything. Here's a link to check it all out: http://67-72chevytrucks.com/vboard/s...d.php?t=446066 |

Although the NOS checks continue to work perfectly, I would have preferred the Jeep parts instead but wasn't aware of that option at the time. |

That's what I love about this forum. I have learned so much from here & everyone is so willing to share their knowledge. I haven't figures out a darn thing on these trucks but I remember what others have figured out. I save it all to my "Truck Ideas" folder and it is jammed full of neat useful information.

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
Very true it is great to get so many ideas and opinions on what they did or tried and how it ended up.
I am going to try to find a jeep set as well. I am there and would rather do it right the first time.. But hey Mark you know me if it's not right , make it right at all costs HA HA 4 years in this monster once done al I have to do is put one small ding in a panel so I can get that over with LMAO!!! I sat in the vehicle today when the wife went into the store, watched people ding others doors and fenders.. glad I can still walk from the other side of the parking lot... |

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
I finally get to post in this thread again. Yesterday I cut my frame in half and today I started to weld it back together until I ran out of wire. Feels good to get back on it.

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
Got the rest of asphalt undercoat off my front inner fenders. What a pain. Soaked with ATF. Sat for a week, scraped with a HF Oscillating Multifunction Power Tool. Got most of it off. Soaked with Liquid Wrench Penetrating Oil let it sit for 2 days. O'reilly's had it half price. Not much good for anything else. Scraped again with a HF Oscillating Multifunction Power Tool and putty knife. Pressure washed. Scrubbed with de-greaser. The guy that put it on around 1964 liked it heavy. Too tired to post pics. Tomorrow. Gonna take a nap.
Can't find my "before" pics. Here's after:

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
Picked up some goodies from the painter today!!!! HE took back the fenders to redo the front section, we made a mistake and brought the black out too far. Will get those back next week and I can bolt up the front clip.
The next batch will be the Bumpers, Barbell and Hood.

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
Got pulled over the other night in the snow storm for having no tail lights. Fortunately I didn't get a ticket, but this morning I finally got a chance to take her back out to the shop. Got one more thing on the fix-it list once the weather clears.

I had the same issue long ago with a 57 Chevy sedan I was building. The PO applied about 1/4" of undercoater in the trunk! Took almost a month of evenings with a wire wheel and scrapers to get all the gooey mess off. ![]() ![]() |

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
Today I disassembled the front clip again, this time into individual pieces. Will start making new radiator support soon, as well as making the hood flip pieces. Ordered the pieces to make the rear quarter patches and a set of front fenders. Mostly sheet metal work now,most everything else has been mocked up. I need to really get going to be able to get this thing on the road this summer.

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
I got the 67-72 sport bumper mounted. While I was hesitant about straying from the stock bumper, I'm sure glad I did. Nothing like some shiny chrome to take your mind off of the lack of progress in other areas.

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
The bumper looks great MisterC. That's the one I'm going to use except painted. I like them better than the 60-66 sport bumpers. It gets the license plate out of the way of the tailgate.
