Re: 1977 Silverado Crew Cab.
Just after I posted about the bolt, my battery tray showed up! Good quality! Bolted all up just fine!
 Battery in, yes I know I need to cables and bolts.  Can't find my hold down, but a distributor hold down works perfect in the mean time!  Got rid of a bunch of the po wiring garbage...  And slowly getting a little cleaner in the engine compartment!

Re: 1977 Silverado Crew Cab.
Just emailed a guy that has a cheap 6.0 on Craigslist. If he says good things, I'll be picking it up this weekend!

Re: 1977 Silverado Crew Cab.
So the driver rear door needs replaced but the passenger rear is perfect. I got that pair of rear doors off a 91 burb so I just wanted to take the factory tinted glass from the burb door and put it in the passenger side. So I did that today after work and luckily, it worked perfectly! The rear doors are exactly the same and since the old glass is thicker than the new glass (clear for clear) but these are tinted, they are the same thickness so no mix and matching of window seals and felts will be required! Very happy with how it turned out/worked out.

Re: 1977 Silverado Crew Cab.
I was bored today so I gave the crew a test fit in the garage. I think I'll just barely be able to get away with painting it in there.

Re: 1977 Silverado Crew Cab.
That door where the post is is going to be replaced and painted separate from the truck but at the same time as the truck.
Anyway, I have begun the disassembly process. Got basically all the trim pulled and everything stripped to the point where the truck is still usable. Then I started removing paint in what I knew would be trouble areas. At this point it's looking like about half the driver side bed side is covered in about a 1/4" of bondo. And the c pillar and into the door jamb...

Re: 1977 Silverado Crew Cab.
Got the passenger bed side pretty well stripped and ordered some more stripping discs.

Re: 1977 Silverado Crew Cab.
The whole bed side would take one disc. I'm using the 3m 18424 discs. They are fairly cheap and work pretty quick! I want to say that whole bedside probably took around 30-45 min to strip. I am getting them off eBay for I think $8 a piece plus $5 Shipping but if you order over a certain dollar amount they offer free shipping. I think the store I'm getting them from is like zoro tools or something.

Re: 1977 Silverado Crew Cab.
Thanks! My stripping discs should be in today. So I'll get more work done on that. Still looking for a new driver side bedside. Ordering my primers from SPI tomorrow! HOPEFULLY going to spray a first round of epoxy next weekend, but we'll see how it all goes. My plan as of now is to get it all painted by the end of September.

Re: 1977 Silverado Crew Cab.
Went out and put on another hour and a half or so today.
Here is my dust pile so far.      Also found more bondo in this door so I'm deciding if I should use it or my other perfect one.

Re: 1977 Silverado Crew Cab.
Nice work! I am planning to do the same to my 88' crew after I get the 6.0L/4L80E swapped in there next spring. I guess your PO didn't understand the term "skim coat" of bondo!

Re: 1977 Silverado Crew Cab.
Wow man. You are really putting in work. I bought some stripping disc and paint remover and am going to see if I can get this much done. It's just so damn hot in Vegas...

Re: 1977 Silverado Crew Cab.
Got one of the new rear doors stripped and got the rest of the driver side stripped. Except I'm still on the hunt for a new driver side bedside! If I don't find one soon I'll have to just fix this one :doah:

Re: 1977 Silverado Crew Cab.
Man. You must hit this project right after work everyday. It would take me about a few weeks if not a month to get that far

Re: 1977 Silverado Crew Cab.
Looking good! The epoxy will be a breeze to spray on. I haven't had any problem with it wanting to run or anything, so its a fun way to learn your way around your spray gun, and how to clean the gun, etc.
