Very neat. Mine would look like a broken 2x2.

Re: A 15 year old's project. Rusty 62 stepside
Welded in the inner fender that I made and did some other body work. Once I get my rocker in and grind down some of the welds, it will look like new. I also have plans to soon make some custom door sill plates.

Re: A 15 year old's project. Rusty 62 stepside
Looking good, I see the Infamous green paint under that orange, they must have painted over half of these trucks built that green..

Re: A 15 year old's project. Rusty 62 stepside
Tell me about it. I was on a road trip and pulled over to take a look at a truck I spotted, a stepside longbox that was orange with the same turquoise underneath. It wasn't a 62, but pretty darn close.

Good job on the inner rocker. Made it yourself and saved some money.

Re: A 15 year old's project. Rusty 62 stepside
thank you very much! I owe all my knowledge to my dad since I starting helping him restore his two cars when I was only a couple years old.

Re: A 15 year old's project. Rusty 62 stepside
Finished up the welding on the bumper. It's a front bumper that I got for next to nothing. I shortened it 18 1/4'' in the centre and welded strips on the back side for strength and filled all the bolt holes with weld. This should make some of the factory guys scratch their heads
