Re: 64 StepSide - Let's the games begin
Frame is off to get sand blasted and powder coated - matte black for the frame and a chrome alloy for the cross members - trailing arms and bridge assembly - hoping the front cross member and control arms are here soon from porterbuilt - would love to get to a rolling chassis state by the end of the month but not looking good right now.

Re: 64 StepSide - Let's the games begin
Frame has been sand blasted - hopefully in the oven today being powder coated - matte black on the frame itself.

Re: 64 StepSide - Let's the games begin
Sweet! Just got mine to the media blaster a couple days ago. I have some patching to do in the floor, one door and at the bottom of both fenders...

Re: 64 StepSide - Let's the games begin
he offered off to media blast everything but the cab for $300 - seems like a pretty good deal (left the cab out because I'm just done - have half the roof inside the cab to do - everything else is already done). My doors are in good shape after picking a couple off craigslist - but not sure what I'll find the rest of the way around this thing.

Re: 64 StepSide - Let's the games begin
Seasoned walnut - I bet those look great. Do you have a build thread - I would love to see how those turned out.

Re: 64 StepSide - Let's the games begin
the porterbuilt front stuff showed up today - excited but know that I'm opening boxes and turning around and dropping everything at powder - ready for a rolling chasis - hung the driver's side door that I have been working on - finally got it to line up the way I want - going to drill some so I can repeat again later and hopefully if the weather plays along this weekend I can get some primer down on the cab and doors - need to get some progress pics up of the frame powder coated and the porterbuilt rear all mocked up.

Re: 64 StepSide - Let's the games begin
Looks to be a great build, nice job on the Porterbuilt install. Happy to see another Jersey guy on here. I'm subscribed to see how it turns out.

Re: 64 StepSide - Let's the games begin
Thanks guys - starting to get some things primed - two front fenders are done - passenger side door - have a little more paint to strip on the drivers door - but very happy with how the passenger one turned out.
Definitely not a lot of us NJ guys on here but there's a guy with a 65 stepside - I've seen him everywhere this summer 3 car shows in the 4th of july parade - he's keeping me motivated ![]()

Re: 64 StepSide - Let's the games begin
Went down to bare metal - so I'm coming back up with a self etching primer by martin senor - and then I'll use some high build primer after that and block. I can't decide on a color to save my life - change my mind just about daily at this point.

Re: 64 StepSide - Let's the games begin
Alright - so adding my new wheels and tires to the build - I also started bending new brake lines for the front - also realized that I'm going to need new brake hoses with this thing being bagged - I can get enough play in the hose going up and down but not if it's all the way up or down and the wheel needs to turn left or right... just when you feel like you are closing in on it something new pops up - oh and found a place that can shorten and balance my drive shaft - the couple places folks had recommended had gone out of business - hard economy I guess.

Re: 64 StepSide - Let's the games begin
Thanks guys... got the old girl set back over the frame - can't find the two front shims so have a couple of them on order then hopefully I can start putting this old girl back together... a lot of little modifications to linkages and stuff to deal with - the manual clutch etc... but can't tell you how much better I feel just having her sitting back on the frame - let all the air out and she lays rockers.
