There has been more work done to this truck in a week than I believe the last ten years. I think it will like morphing into a CHevy truck and hitting the road.

Well I decided to start the floor patches and found a hole lot more. The rust was above the front body mounts on both sides and extended into the posts. Tha was not the bad part, it seams the past owner replaced both rockers and we new this. What we did not know was they removed the passinger side with an air hammer or an axe! The passinger side is cut/rusted completly thru. It will take some work but it is fixable. Here are a few pic's

Well you don't offten find a 67 truck that need four rockers replaced
![]() Then I took the drivers side apart. It is only rusted and needs the rocker and the inner panel replaced. I had a replacement inner panel but decided to built my own. The store bought one just is not quite built right. I built mine with a return lip on top were the floor panel will attach as well as a return lip on the bottom for the rocker to lock into. This is alot stronger then the original and makes for a great patch. Next I will build new floor fronts and corners for both sides. Kevin |

The last thing for the night was to remove the inner rear panels and the roof inner panel. Turns out the door extentions were built using rockers and door skins. Both rockers and door bottoms will be removed and replaced. They both have rust that is beyond stopping so out it will come. The roof section is in good shape but will need some metal working before finishing.
Kevin PS. next updates will be thursday. Last edited by Rokcrln; 08-22-2005 at 11:46 PM. |

Just an idea for you ....
You could put some kind of framework inside the gap behind those extensions and mount regulators and have roll up windows in the back.

I kind of like the windows in my 56 extended cab that use late model Chevy extended cab pop out window brackets, works good and simple to make it work. Two hinges, a lock and a window or just put a solid window and rubber, real simple. That is what the air conditioning is for, never seem to open windows, except drivers side, on my other trucks. I am going to have my grandson in the back and don't want him hanging out the window anyway.

Those sliders looks like something that would come out of a camper, or camper shell on a bed of a truck.

Well here is thursday nights work. I started by hand forming a new cab post for the drivers side ( thought I would start with the easy side). After forming and fitting I cut out the bad metal and coated it with rust encapsulator and then welded the new one in place. I left the very bottom of this one open for drainage!

Last thing fo rthe night was the drivers side kick panel. I also formed this to get all the correct folds for the door weather stripping and seals. I also added a lip on the bottom edge for the new floor to weld to.
Kevin Should have more on Saturday. Last edited by Rokcrln; 08-25-2005 at 10:45 PM. |
