Re: Brave or crazy? crewcab build
started by taking off the clip, then Im going to start the rust repair on the passenger side. it just needs inner outer rockers, lower a pillar, kick panel and some floor patches. I will start there and work my way back. look how bad the door gaps are from the factory.

Re: Brave or crazy? crewcab build
So true Paul, I think a bit part of the hold up was my fault.

Re: Brave or crazy? crewcab build
Found a truck I couldn't pass up it's a 67 big window short step randomly mounted on a 56 chevy truck frame? I'm not going to keep it, trying to flip it quick but if that dosen't happen i'll just part it. It's kind of a shame about the frame because the body's is really nice.

Re: Brave or crazy? crewcab build
Makes a fella wonder how the decision was made to put that body on that older frame, doesn't it?

Re: Brave or crazy? crewcab build
I have been squeezeing in some time on my truck as well I gave up on the original 3rd door looks like it was hit at some point. Luckily I have spare one and it fit much better. I will post better pics later.
