Re: Project 1972
How do the tabco panels compare thickness wise to the original sheet metal?

They are as thick as original. Not like some cheap ones.

Re: Project 1972
I finished sanding the top and fixing and welding where the rust was around the windshield. I sprayed some black epoxy primer. Tomorrow I am going to reseal the drip rails and get it ready for some 2k gray primer.

Today I repaired this rusted spot by the sunvisor.

I pieced together this sprayer and good or bad I sprayed some por15 in the upper roof area through the sunvisor holes. I got por15 leaking out everywhere.
I forgot to ask then lost track of this post, where did you purchase the gun at? did it come with the bottle of POR 15?

Re: Project 1972
Today I sealed the drip rails. I did not have the duel caulk gun so I just push out equal amounts with a screwdriver and mixed it on a mixing board. I used a paint stick to put it in place then used my finger with a glove on to smooth it out. This stuff flowed out real nice.

Re: Project 1972
I worked on my glove box cover. I cleaned it with an sos pad and all of the finish came off except where the emblem was. I installed some oak vinyl wrap to it. I am working on the instrument cluster now. I had to cut off some of the peeling corners and smooth it with body filler. I painted the edges and tomorrow I am going to try my hand again with the vinyl wrap.

Re: Project 1972
I did it! It wasn't as hard as I thought it would be. The vinyl I am using is from R/vinyl it is a premium vehicle wrap.

Installed the new windshield. Precision gasket and a $100.00 windshield from a local glass place. I used 3m strip caulk. Me and my wife installed it today.

Hey thanks. This truck is more than I was hoping to find. I wasn't sure about the color but it is growing on me.

I had a 76 with a 454 that was painted with the same scheme. Seems they called the green on that model "Springtime Green". Loved that truck! Lwb, sliding back window, tool box, big mud slingers out back, big block, thought I was "the man".
