Re: 198Plus build
It might have been cheaper to find another parts truck, or cab. We're lucky here in California. Not too many rust buckets out here.

Re: 198Plus build
Can you body wax the rust on the inside of the braces that you can't get to or shoot POR up in there?

Re: 198Plus build
My friend that owns a body shop for 35 years said he uses diesel fuel to spray the rust where he can't get to.

Re: 198Plus build
Nice shot Alan
As we know,when the support rots out (and/or the floor) the small tube that surrounds the mounting bolt is usually rotted too. That piece doesn't come with the replacement support nor the floor section. Can you post up some dimensions on this tube,ie length, diameter and wall thickness,also I assume it's welded to the support? I have never seen this part in any calalogs Thanks T

Re: 198Plus build
Looks great. Have a magnet sign made so you can take it off your truck when you don't want it. Just use it when your parked in front of your shop. Should be an attention getter.

Re: 198Plus build
I advised Ronnie that we should go ahead and cut out the metal that had already been replaced. That was a good idea. Because the drivers side wasn't welded to the cab support.
Here it the driver side patch that was removed. Notice the spot welds, not good. Here's the double floor on the drivers side. Still something going on on the Left kick panel to fire wall. Did some more digging and found this. The passenger side was welded better. I believe I got all the patch work out on the passenger side. The sand blaster might reveal something on the pinch weld. It is loaded with filler. I ground some of the filler on the A post gutter. I knew there would be issues after seeing it covered up. They need to be drilled off and replaced. I have to look to see if they are available. Both side are the same. More decisions to be made in the next post...........

Re: 198Plus build
Firewall decisions................Need to determine which holes to weld up. Here are some pics for Ronnie to edit and circle which ones he wants filled.
Rt side Lt side What about these extra holes somebody added? I know the clutch rod goes thru one of these but what is the other? Maybe the speedometer cable goes in the smaller one. Here are some of my recommendations. Double check me Ronnie. Referrence pics of mine.

Re: 198Plus build
Thank you Alan
I have my floor piece and support so shouldn't be too hard to get the right length. as for wall thickness I'll just go overkill, 1"x .125w T

Re: 198Plus build
When I went to the metal yard I ask for 18 guage so I think it is. I've never measured it.

Re: 198Plus build
to the guys asking why you have alan do yours , when you own a body shop, I understand....I know quite a few body shop owners(including alan!), that have to put thier projects on a back burner, to cater to thier customers...
smart thing having someone else get yours done!

Ronnie, I can't find any new gutters for the A post. They might be available somewhere, but I can't find them. I will try to replicate them. Don't worry I'm not gonna charge you for the labor to figure out how to make them. If they turn out nice I will step up my membership here and sell them to others that need them. Did you get your estimating system in yet? If not, you need at least a set of crash books to give you an idea of what to charge. Are any of those insurance jobs? That restoration will need more than one quarter panel.
