Re: 1970 VA Longbed Project
Thanks, welcome to the board and I am excited to have it done. It's going to be a sweet longbed and I've noticed at shows that longbeds are coming up in popularity.

Re: 1970 VA Longbed Project
Here's the pictures as promised of the progress on the cab...
These holes are for me to stick my feet through and warm them up next to the headers

Re: 1970 VA Longbed Project
You'll notice the line around the top. Going to "borrow" Rokcrln's angled cap idea. Not doing the wall the same obviously and smoothed the top hump out of it. Plus, I actually saw that angled cap idea before and Nuke did an angled cap on his firewall. (Do I sound like I'm rationalizing stealing ideas? )
The firewall will be completely smooth with only the steering column coming through. Using an eliminator style accellerator pedal, brake pedal/booster mounted to the framerails, aftermarket wiring harness hidden and moved w/ no bulkhead, A/C lines run through the cowl area, and all other misc holes filled in for a very smooth look.

Re: 1970 VA Longbed Project
Thanks and you're welcome. I am just glad he's making progress while I've been tied up with other responsibilities. Gotta make money to pay for it and also help family out before the truck

I'll tell Jason. I have a small custom shop "Pops Chop Shop" helping me with the metal fab/welding. I'm doing everything else from teardown/cleanup/frame and suspension painting/suspension install/wiring/interior, etc... He's doing the metal work; and helping with assembly, body work and paint. And providing invaluable help when I get stuck on something or need an extra hand.

Re: 1970 VA Longbed Project
been checking out your pics from over in Mechanicsville. One day I"l have the $$ to get someone to do the rust repair my cab needs, then mine might be worth doing some other work too. Progress looks great so far.
Pete

Thanks guys. Glad I have help to keep the project moving! Quote:
Thanks for checking it out. I do all the work around my house and try to do what I can on my vehicles, but certain things make more sense to have someone else do. Just buying and learning the welder and body tools would cost more than I will end up paying for the work I'm having done. Then I'd have countless hours doing the work. This way, we both work on it, the project moves along faster, and also I have some time some weekends/evenings to do side jobs to fund the project and work still progresses without me.

Re: 1970 VA Longbed Project
Yeah, I told him what a good deal it was. I'm actually wanting to do cherry wood and smooth strips w/ hidden mounting so no bolt holes....
