Looking good!! Where did you get the whole new floor pan? GMC Pauls?

blkcorvair · 08-20-2011, 08:22 PM

Yep! GMC Pauls = Triplus =

Spent the last two days fabricating a dolly for the stepside bed from some 2X4's and spare Golf Car Parts from work. Cost all of $16.

Than when I tried to wrap my head around ordering new bedsides and stepside fenders I ended up with front fenders, rear bumper, tailgate chains, and hood hinges as well. Top Bannana has 10% off expiring today so just seemed right!

Make Shift Sand Blasting Booth...

blkcorvair · 09-16-2011, 09:10 PM

Quickly cut some Yellow Pine for the Bed Yesterday. Since Im going stock kept it pine. Going to Spray it with some Balck epoxy primer hopefully this weekend before the bed Re-assembly. Will be re-using the cross sills. Replacing everything else. Got $139 and Three Hours time total. Still have to block sand it. That included the $20 Fostner bit I needed for the oblong holes.
Thanks to GMC Pauls for all those great diagrams and Measurements on your website!

I like your truck, I love that color. I have a 69 stepper too.

kcfirstbuild · 10-29-2011, 07:13 PM

Was it easier to put a whole floor in Vs. new rocker panels and cab supports? I need both of them done on my truck.

My floor was rotted a ways beyond the available patch panels. I found the floor as a whole pretty easy to do after the right bracing and being very careful. If you can do Cab supports and inner/outer rockers I would try that first. Those parts are pretty inexpensive and if you find you dont like the way it comes out you could always beat the old floor out. (Thats pretty much what happened with me.)

You do great work!

oldblue1968chevy · 10-29-2011, 11:01 PM

Wow that looks so easy I could do it! Great job how hard was it and what was involved? (how many hrs how many potty words involved how much time cutting spot welds)

The Floor? Want too bad really. Bought some good spot weld cutters from my tool guy at work and took my time. I impressed myself. Best yet with the new floor inplace was easy to line up the A & B Pillar Patchs and the new rockers.

blkcorvair · 11-16-2011, 10:21 PM

1/2 ton caps are 10- 1/2" (these were 73+ caps with the yellow bowtie) After I had them blasted and powdercoated I stencil in the blue to make them correct for 69-72

VA72C10 · 11-16-2011, 10:29 PM

Very nice work!!!

So, would 12" diameter caps be 3/4 ton?
