Re: A 15 year old's project. Rusty 62 stepside
5 degrees, even C is this down here, definitely no painting weather.
Nice work!

Re: A 15 year old's project. Rusty 62 stepside
Thanks buddy
Thanks, it should be fine lol. This paint does fine with the cold, just takes a little longer to dry fully

Re: A 15 year old's project. Rusty 62 stepside
Yesterday I went with my dad to my favourite little goldmine and picked up a bunch of parts, my dad got a really nice 67-68 slope nose hood with the trim and all the letters, a set of really nice suburban barn doors to replace his rusty ones, two partly damaged 67-68 Chevy grilles to weld together to make one good grille plus the aluminum trim and Chrome headlight bezels. He only paid $300 for all of this. Here is the grille I just finished welding together (the wood is just screwed in to help with alignment)

And I pulled this chrome mirror from a 61 cab for my truck as the cast part is broken on mine

Re: A 15 year old's project. Rusty 62 stepside
Nice Junkyard finds.
I see you cut out that section of frame to install your ps box. Will you be welding that section back in, or do have some other idea?

Re: A 15 year old's project. Rusty 62 stepside
Thanks, yes I will be welding it back in, I just need to get some welding gas since flux core isn't going to cut it on something as important as the frame.

Re: A 15 year old's project. Rusty 62 stepside
So, will you then use longer bolts through the full width of the frame channel?

Nice parts day you guys had. Good to see you can still find trucks like ours in yards.

Re: A 15 year old's project. Rusty 62 stepside
Hey Nik, that was some good finds in the salvage yard!
I've been enjoying your build and gotta say I was really impressed when I figured out you are doing most of your work outside. Wow! Your dedication is awesome. |

Re: A 15 year old's project. Rusty 62 stepside
I got the control arms, spindles and brakes installed on both sides, the springs will go in at a later date when I can get access to a spring compressor.

Re: A 15 year old's project. Rusty 62 stepside
Before I painted my firewall I removed this little ID plate. I've been soaking it in vinegar for the past couple days and gave it a quick scrub with some steel wool, it removed all the rust and dirt very well, looks almost like new.

Re: A 15 year old's project. Rusty 62 stepside
Very nice looking work. Your idea sounds good to me since they are run with a single belt in a serpentine system.

Re: A 15 year old's project. Rusty 62 stepside
That bracket turned out great! I bet you'll be just fine running a single belt for the whole system and it looks like you've got room to mount a simple idler/tensioner pulley later if needed.
Keep it up! |
