Bed is looking great!

**cmabolt** · 08-31-2015, 08:49 PM

Yup bed is looking good. I bet your counting the days till cab day?!

BTW, you asked about color for your emblems that need repainting.
I used 1 sot pinstriped paint and here are the colors. I used orange, but I think stock is chevy red on the emblems. Both are circled in this image.

DWilbur · 09-01-2015, 02:55 AM

I'm worried that the cab wont fit in the garage after I put on the frame I don't feel comfortable leaving it out side. I found some 17" wheels cheep that I'm going to pick up and see if a 45R on 17" wheel will get it in the garage. We will see if a few week. I need the 17" wheels so I can put my front brake calipers on the 16" wheel I have are not big enough.
Thanks for the color chart I will check it out.

DWilbur · 09-01-2015, 10:12 PM

I checked in to the paint and their is a art store not far from me that caries the paint. I will check them out this week end.

**cmabolt** · 09-03-2015, 08:59 AM

I did the same thing, but the store that was supposed to have it didn't ended up buying it online from summit. BTW, you will have much better results if you use the 1 shot hardener as well. See my build for hardener part numbers. It definitely helped it flow better and dried much faster.

Good luck! Can't wait to see'm all new looking and shiny

Chris

DWilbur · 09-03-2015, 09:23 PM

I remember your comment on the hardener. I will get some.

**Dieselwrencher** · 09-04-2015, 06:06 PM

The bed looks great!

DWilbur · 09-08-2015, 06:58 PM

I did not get much done on the crew cab this week end. Ended up working on my 1998 flat bed Saturday and Sunday so I can drive it to work. It did pass smog test. I'm giving my company truck back this week as it's not comfortable to drive and the AC smell SH**. it's a 2013 Ford F150 the seat is like sitting on a bolder.
I final got my fender badging Friday. looks purdy dam cool I think. the Cheyenne 30 I got from Paul's GMC. the LSX was from Amazon and the 5.3L was from Newegg.

**First c10** · 09-09-2015, 12:25 AM

Looking good!!! I want to get some of the lsx badges. Can you post part numbers of the lsx and 5.3L?

DWilbur · 09-09-2015, 12:41 AM

In my previous post I said I got the LSX badges from Amazon. In fact they came from Ebay. I don't have part number for them. I did a google search for LSX emblem and 1 for 5.3L to find them. when I get home from work Tuesday I will see what info I can give you to order them.

Thanks for the info....they look sharp!

DWilbur · 09-09-2015, 10:40 PM

The local store to get the 1 shot paint requires you to be a member and I don't have the required info to join. so I checked out Summit and they don't sell the hardener 4007. so I tried Eastwood and the cost to touch up 1 emblem would be about $70.00. so I Went to Tower Hobbies and ordered some Model Master paint witch I'm familiar with and ordered 5 different red paints for $16.50 if they don't match I can mix and match. thinning with good lacquer thinner will make this paint dry fast and dull the finish witch will help match the color.

**Dieselwrencher** · 09-10-2015, 09:00 PM

Nice badges!

DWilbur · 09-16-2015, 06:18 PM

I spent some time after work mixing up some paint to fix one of my Cheyenne 30 emblems and it worked out real good. I mixed 1/4 ounce of red 1/4 ounce of brown and about 1 ounce of yellow to match the color. the scratch was in side the zero about 1/4" square scratch. now its gone.

**cmabolt** · 09-17-2015, 12:10 PM

Nice work! Those LS badges are really gonna look nice. I like the direction you went.

Chris

DWilbur · 09-17-2015, 10:24 PM

Thanks Chris
I'm trying to save money for painting at this point. The badges cost me $90.00 for the LSX and 5.3L. forget what the Cheyenne 30 cost I think about $80.00. Having some custom ones made would have been a lot more. I should be getting my cab back in about 2 weeks. set up seats steering wheel and master cylinder then find a place to get the paint done.

Mr. D · 09-17-2015, 10:47 PM

Dave, we may have already discussed this but I don't remember. What Burban parts do you left? Just wondering if there's anything I might be able to use and could buy from you.
Also, was Cesar helpful at all?

DWilbur · 09-18-2015, 04:20 PM

Mr.D I don't have much of anything left from the 69 burb. I do have the 04 burb but I need my cab back to see what I'm going to use out of it. need to test fit some things. you did mention you wanted the core support from the 04.

DWilbur · 09-18-2015, 04:22 PM

I have not talked to Cesar yet waiting for all my part to come back first.

my67chevytruck · 10-05-2015, 03:22 PM

nice Build!

Mr. D · 10-06-2015, 05:05 PM

I don't think I can use the core support out of the 04. As much as I think it's a cool idea and it might help in some ways, it is dimensionally way different and would require more fab than its worth.
Do you have any inside door handles from a 72 by chance?
Also, would you be interested in helping me weld up a sunroof hole in my suburban's roof for a price? I already know that I will struggle with this task given my limited welding skills. (No hurry).

I think I have some interior door handles just have to find them. I can help you with welding the roof. do you have a mig welder. or I can bring mine.

DWilbur · 10-06-2015, 10:35 PM

I ordered the track bar and related part from Ruff Stuff last week hope to receive the parts end of this week. I was checking out a thread on this site and with cross over steering it was recommended by Ryan to install a track bar to keep the cross over steering from pushing the from end side to side even with leaf springs. So I'm going to install one.

DWilbur · 10-14-2015, 11:41 AM

I received my parts from Ruff Stuff Friday last week. all looked good except for the tubing. they shipped 4 1' pieces in stead of a 4' piece. I called them and the shipped me a 4' piece right away free of charge and received it on Monday. Big thanks to Ruff Stuff for taking care of me. Friday I stopped by my nephews shop to see if we can install transmission #3 in my car. After lunch we found some low profile tires walking by a tire shop for free so I can put my 17" wheel on and get the cab to fit in the garage. With the 17" wheel I can install my brake calipers on the front.
