Well I was not happy with my door gap between the doors so I fixed it.
First the rear edge of the front door was not perfectly straight it had dips in it
so I fixed that first. Then the gap was a little big I set it a 1/4 but it was to much so I welded all the way down the front edge of the rear door.
Then I ground it down and used a file to finish it. The gap is 3/16 now and after primer and paint it should be perfect.

Looks great

mcbassin · 01-05-2014, 02:30 PM

Very nice work on the gaps. I know how time consuming that can be, but worth it.

oilyrag80 · 01-05-2014, 07:23 PM

I built a panel to hold one of my speakers needed to get this done before I started body work. Its just 16ga sheet cut to fit then tacked in, I'll hit it with some seam sealer and it will be painted with the rest of the cab.

tHANKS! I like ls motors but good gas mileage and lots of power is very overrated!

I'm going for a stock look, if thats possible with this truck.

oilyrag80 · 01-25-2014, 11:36 PM

I;m never going to get this truck done if I keep dragging more home!

It was just a good deal i'm going to use 1 or 2 things but the rest is getting parted.

**67cheby** · 01-07-2014, 03:57 PM

swamp rat · 01-26-2014, 08:49 PM

Yea it's a half ton and it's all 5 lug as well. I thought about selling the whole thing but I need a few things and a buddy needs the cab so its coming apart so other trucks can live on

I saw this pop up on ebay this morning:

http://www.ebay.com/itm/Chevrolet-Ot...-/261385940152

Looks familiar...but it's not...and not quite the same level of craftsmanship....

Yea I saw that looks like they split a truck cab in half then added the b pillars
from a suburban. Also looks like they shaved the drip rail just above the windsheild but nowhere else. I like it. It looks great and a good deal for the amount of work put into it.

oilyrag80 · 02-18-2014, 10:30 PM

Not much to update been collecting some parts for the crew cab
and parting out the 68 I picked up. Good thing I got some help from my little buddy.

jbclassix · 02-18-2014, 11:27 PM

Best help in the world right there!

Feels like forever since we saw some progress. Hope you have more time soon. I'm totally enjoying following this project of yours.

oilyrag80 · 03-29-2014, 09:30 PM
