Re: 69 shop truck
I do have a 4' box and pan brake as well as (2) 10' brakes (one is for sale) as well as a 10' air operated shear. I build electric signs for a living since 88 and had my own shop since 95. If I can get my 10' roper witney brake sold I want to purchase a larger throat box and pan brake. I am limited to 3" deep right now.

Re: 69 shop truck
thankfully I have what is left of a floor from a 70 I parted so the only new parts costing money will be all 4 cab supports. I was able to peel the cab corner & rocker off of the patch section and get that rear cab corner section cleaned up so I can patch the very outer edge. The front floor section I cut out will have to be made from some more 16ga. The only reason I cut a full pc for the side wall is so there will be no weld down low that would need filler skim coat. I did it so that the seams can be seam sealed or covered by the door gasket. Trying to keep bodywork to bare minimum, although there will be a couple spots on the exterior that will need some once i weld the patches in. I am not going for perfect at all. Just want to slow things down a bit and get to enjoy it some.

Re: 69 shop truck
It is coming along nicely. That brake is a good piece of equipment to have if your doing any type of restoration work. I need to invest in one myself one day.

I am doing more metal work on this than I told myself I would but I figure I want my feet to stay dry if I get caught driving in the rain. I had a man stop by out of the blue this afternoon and bought my brake that was for sale so that will free back up some space in the shop. Spent most of the day today cleaning up from around the truck and got it up on stands.

Re: 69 shop truck
Finally got a chance to remove the bed today. Been too cold to work and too expensive to run the K1 heaters. Trying to find a bed in a bit better condition but needed to work on the cab corners anyway. Would like to try to get them cut and welded in tomorrow. Passenger side is original corner and still not too bad other than down real low. Drivers side has already been replaced once and needs it again.

Re: 69 shop truck
That ain't rust. That there is crust, young man. A little more time on that and you could bottle it and sell as an iron dietary supplement
I'm just going to have to stop hating rust and embrace it. Might even make me politically correct That work's all looking great there, Richard. Two thumbs up

Re: 69 shop truck
Went to spring Carlisle and picked up a few things to get this cab finished up. I had several different cab corners sitting here that were nowhere near close to actual body lines. I picked up some Key Parts cab corners and they look like they are pretty spot on. I was going to try to get that stuff going today but a marketplace find tied me up all day. I have been having trouble finding a decent back bed at a reasonable price so my attention jumped when I saw this on marketplace. I am going to cut all the heavy racks off that he had on it to shave some weight and mount it on the truck. it is supposed to be a shop truck type deal anyway so should fit in. The truck itself is a 75 K20 that is supposed to have a rebuilt low mileage 350/ 4spd/ 205 combo but it has been sitting for a couple years in the driveway. He also gave me new inner & outer fenders and a couple patch panels he purchased for it. Square body parts are more plentiful around here so if it does run I might just put it back together as a regular pickup. Even still has all 4 original hubcaps.

Re: 69 shop truck
Trying out some new Key parts patch panels and gotta say they are pretty good compared to what I have been using in the past. One issue I did find is the nut welded to the rear cab support is the wrong size for the seat belt bolt.

Re: 69 shop truck
Got some more time to work on the cab today. B pillar & cab corner from Key parts were spot on. Hoping the rocker fits as good. Made life a bit easier getting the door back on with the engine hoist & leveler. Had to put it back on so I can fit the rocker. Still have to put the front cab support on both sides as well as the rear support on the driver side.

Re: 69 shop truck

Finished up the passenger side yesterday and started back on the drivers side. On the passenger side I spliced in the front floor support and I think it ended up being a whole lot more work. Drivers side I spent the time to cut the entire thing out and replace it whole. The rear support has to be spliced regardless. I made the rear floor section earlier on and I also made a one pc section for the inner rocker area. I put all of my welding seams on both sides where I don't have to mess with any filler. Either lower moldings cover the seam or they get hid by the bed and or undercoating. Truck will never be perfect so not going to spend a lot of time on that. Still have to spot weld the front support in, finish about 6" of weld on the cab corner and one more small patch on the floor and I will be able to start getting the interior back together. Hoping to get all that done tomorrow so I can get it back on the floor and out of the way long enough to do some maintenance on my Daily driver. My 2016 GMC 2500 has a trailer brake controller issue that according to utube could be several different things so want to get in in on the concrete floor to do that. . .

Re: 69 shop truck
seam sealed, primed, 50ft paint to match the rest and undercoat underneath. Today hope to get the interior back in the truck and try to get it running again.
Also got a sticker shock at napa. bought 2 cans of 3m undercoat and one tube of seam sealer $125. .

Re: 69 shop truck
The original seat had a bad cover on it and the mounts were cracked. I was going to put different mounts on it and just live with the cover since the drivers side was in good shape. PO had a dog that had ripped the passenger side. Anyway, I did some horse trading and ended up with this seat so it will go in the truck instead. It has aftermarket lowering brackets on it that are stationary. Will give it a try but may end up putting original sliders back on it.
