Cab
Got into the cab this week, cleaned it out and removed the windshield.
Found some rust in the frame. ![]() ![]() The rust is on the inside/top of the windshield frame just under the drivers visor. Its still very solid on the other side of it, thankfully. |

Been Awhile
This project has kinda stalled.
![]() Time and funds both ran off together, go figure. ![]() Anyway, here's a pic of the floor repair. This project is getting temporarily mothballed once I get the cab in primer. I need to get going on the blazer tub and have it ready for spring. Last edited by vtblazer; 01-11-2005 at 08:00 AM. |

That was a sweet truck before you started the rocker job but that's how it alway's goes... How does the truck sound with the muffler's mounted way back under the bed or is it just quiet????

I'm guessing that it is pretty quiet considering that there are 2 mufflers per pipe.

With welding in the rocker there -- Are you leaving it as just tacked in, or did you go around again a couple times and fill the whole thing in?

More Stuff Done
The biggest repair so far has been the windshield frame repair. Fortunetly I had a donor frame to cut up and use as a patch. It's been cut and fit now and is ready to weld.
Rust? What rust, I don't see no stinkin' rust!! (yeah right) The entire bed is almost completed, just need's to be blocked out. Still need to sand down the hood and both doors. FRENCHBLUE72, yeah, it's quite...now ![]() Russel, the rockers we're left that way, it's the same way the factory did it. Trying to make it look original.

I assume you didn't find that truck around here. I can't even find something like that for sale in CT, let alone price.

I know how that goes - luckily my project is past the money part, but getting free time has been difficult lately. After this weekend I surely will have more time - I better!

Stock/Factory/Original
This truck when I got it was very complete and original, so I figure it deserves to continue on the same way, stock. CPNE is grinning right now.
![]() Two tone med olive/white with a tiny twist, nothing major but not exactly the way the factory did it either. Very similar to the pic below but with the correct rear caps. |

That truck is going to be killer. Looks like there is almost enough room in the back to haul the sweat you poured building it. Nice work!!!
