Well, whereshould I start. Finshed sanding the rear fender where the bondo was applied. Primed it so the rust will not form on it till I get time to prime the whole truck with K2 primer. Here is a picture of one of my little herpers.

Then I welded the end caps on the bed sides. Still need to do a little magic so they can be primed. I am going to sand blast them first. Then a slight bondo to cover all my sins.

Here is a picture of the door after I finshed welding bondo and primed. All dome with it.

I need someone to tell me where the center bed rail on a 1968 stepside shorty goes. I installed the others and the center will stick up above the rest of the bed rails. I put a 6 ft. level across the bed rails and the center want work. Am I doing something wrong. Or maybe over looking something or over thinking it.

[gdavis]

Today, I finshed welding up the end caps on the bed sides. All done with that small project. Except sand blasting them and a small bit of bondo on the end caps. Then I wire wheeled the drivers side bed side. Going to sand blast them when I return from Dennis Truck Parts. In St. Petersburg, Fl. He has a lot of my parts in so I am going to pick them up tomorrow. Let you know what I have tomorrow Night.

For a wood stepside bed You should have a total of 4 cross sills, 1 bed reinforcement strip and 1 rear cross sill, refer to page 31 of the online LMC Truck catalog for a picture and parts listing.

On page 31 on LMC it shows 5 4 bed rails and 1 center piece. Where do the center piece fit.

Today I went and picked up some of my parts in Pineallas Part, Fl. I was a little disappointed. The price he has on the item is not what I had to pay. He charged me for his shipping. There should not be any shipping if I pick them up. Well I only got a few items, so now I am going to serchfor another dealer.

radiator core support used
rear door pillar
floor pan section
radiator mounts with bolts
cab mounts with bolts
outer rocker
inter fender

So, when I returned I sarted working on the core support. It had a few pin holes on the bottom. I welded another plate over the bottom . I Prime it and paint it black.t probably would not have made any difference but now I know. Going to sand blast it tomorrow If I have time.
Also A picture of my adophed boys play? working? They seem to have fun so what is the difference.

Hmm that looks like the 69-72 core support mounting kit to me. I thought you were keeping the 67-68 front end?

I called Dennis today about the core support hardware and he is sending me the right one. Thanks for see that my friend.

Today, I installed the rear door pillar. The floor pan section. Boy what a job the floor was. I cut the floor out before I got the panel and it was to large. A lesson learned. Don't cut the section out before you have the panels. So I had to add some metal to the front and rear of the panel. The pillar went on without a hitch. I went to harbor Frieght the other day and I picked up the wrong cutting wheels. So tomorrow I will have to buy them local. They are the same price but they seem to last longer.

I hear ya on that one. "Have panel before you cut".
I cut cab in half before other cab section was present.

Thanks, I learned something on the floor. Don't cut untill you get the panels. I did and it was to small for the hole I cut. I had to add some on two sides.

[gdavis]

The floor section took me about 6 hours. I don't want to do that any more. It was a bear. My own fault anyway it is done.
Then I wire wheeled the pass bed side and the core support.

[gdavis]

Tomorrow I will maybe sand blast them and paint the core support black. and prime the bed side.
