it is just you young guys whining about feeling old, mind you some are old at 50 while others are young at 65. then again the mind does play tricks on us sometimes
it sure is nice not to have all that heat that I hear you fellows are having down south

You know that feeling when a big gulp of coffee comes out your nose?

4dranch · 08-28-2009, 01:30 PM

Is that anything like a liquid burp....??

Worked on the LT bedside only, patching rust and pulling dents. I had a hard time getting the pull pins to stick. I was using an extension cord so I eliminated the cord and it worked better, but still had some trouble.

Didn't really want to go up this high, but the metal was pretty thin from corrosion. I felt better by eliminating it.

What did you use for the replacement lip, and how did you make the holes? I have to replace the entire length of mine on both sides and need all the help I can get

Muleman100 · 08-28-2009, 04:17 PM

How do plan on making the square holes for the carriage bolts?

padresag · 08-28-2009, 05:41 PM

you can buy the replacement edges from that place that supplies bed kits and other things

I only had a few to drill and shape with a small file. Like Ron says below Mar-k in OK has the inner panel patch panels.

you can drill and file as Alan says or if you have quite a few just drill and use a jig saw with a fine metal cutting blade to clean the corners out

ron

Strodder · 08-28-2009, 10:18 PM

I have a square file that would work perfectly.

198plus · 08-29-2009, 12:02 AM

Alan, getting the truck loaded on trailer.......See ya in BUMPKINVILLE in the morning

Alan's Classic · 08-29-2009, 03:06 PM

Ronnie just left my house after we put his cab mounts and bed on.

ruffrida2005 · 08-29-2009, 03:50 PM

will you be doing any more work on the truck. What all was done to his frame and suspension

I told Ronnie to have the guy that did the doors fix them and get them fitting the cab the way he wants. Then he said he is bringing it back to me to get the front sheet metal on. I really don't like going behind someone else's work. I don't know what is under the primer.

I've got to finish up the cab. The bed needs some more work still.

Ronnie will have to tell you about the frame etc.

Strodder · 08-29-2009, 04:25 PM

Looks good sitting on the trailer. It's going to be a nice straight truck.

198plus · 08-29-2009, 07:31 PM

Alan......Just wanted to tell you thanks.......I really, really, really, appreciate all that you have done for me !!!!!!! Can't wait till you finish my truck

1964C10 · 08-29-2009, 08:34 PM

That is one straight truck Alan! Which makes me think of a question, how do you guys wash between the end of the bed and the cab? I cant even get my hand in between there to put any kind of pressure on whatever I might use to wash it?

Thanks!! As far as washing it I couldn't tell you. I have not washed one in 20 years. I got mine home and tore it apart right away.
