I recommend you try Tabco and specify only USA made parts. They actually use taiwan parts when they run out of their own. I am considering buying the passenger side pan from them. Glutten for punishment. Honestly, I have always wanted a 70 CST with all the chrome and goodies like my 3/4 ton. Now I will have one Besides, I need the practice because I have 2 Camaros with lots of rust. Quote:

Mike I am worried about your health... 2 Camaros with that type of rust is too much for any one person... Since I consider you a great friend I am willing to take one of them off of your hands... as a favor to you... :-)

Re: 1969 Short Wide
No wonder we haven't heard from you! Would it have been easier to swap roofs? I admire your tenacity and skills Mike.

Re: 1969 Short Wide
Good work Mike. I'm not one for the shaved drip rails myself. That's why I sold my other cab, but those that dig that look, rock on!
Keep it up, you will be driving that thing in no time. Steve

Re: 1969 Short Wide
Thanks Drew, I would love to have an Arizona truck at this point. It's really not as bad as it looks. Just a little time consuming. It is winter, and I don't have a lot going on. The fact is, the old cab would have taken a bunch of time to get it ready for paint. Where's that build thread? I haven't found it yet?

Re: 1969 Short Wide
Thanks for the complement. Don't kid yourself; I know you can handle it. I try to learn something new every day. That's why my build is a compilation of what I see on this board. I never would have done half the things on mine if it wasn't for this board.

Re: 1969 Short Wide
I forgot about that on the Tabco stuff. It's been a little while since I've purchased any parts from them. It looks like the Camaro list is quite long. Cough, cough.

Re: 1969 Short Wide
Looks like fun. I need to do the same job soon.
Looks like your TIG welding left things pretty clean. Nice work.

Re: 1969 Short Wide
Nice work! What's your process for cleaning up your welds?

Re: 1969 Short Wide
Thanks Gringo,
I start with a 36 grit 3M then go to 60 grit same disc. (these aren't cheap but work good with Mig welds) After that I'll use the DA with a 3M 120 grit to find the low spots and blend it. I still need to go back with hammer and dolly on some low areas but it's pretty dang close on most areas. |

Re: 1969 Short Wide
Excellent rust removal on the cab!
I think that scrap yard panel is off of one of our air conditioners, I've made a few (thousands) of those.
