Re: My '67 Fleetside C10 renew
I've been plugging away on this thing. Takes a lot of firewood to get the place warm so after work stints are kinda tough.
It's all welded back up but it's still going to take some work to get it looking good. I got one stake pocket cut out and will use material from the sections removed to make fillers. Lemme tell ya, them stake pockets are a bear to get outta there. I used the blue-tip to cut most of it out then cleaned it up. Game day today - Go Hawks!!

Re: My '67 Fleetside C10 renew
Looks awesome. I have a cherry set of long bed sides. Thinking of cutting them down and leaning the back in a bit on top. After hearing ur challenge, I don't know if I want to attempt it. Looks great tho!

Re: My '67 Fleetside C10 renew
Been some discussion, but no one's got any dough, Boppa's having like 4 rounds of eye surgery (cataracts), and we've been gettin' our money's worth out of winter around here. The 2 "nice days" were spent on the bikes with the boys. Thanks for asking, though. This concludes today's threadjack.
Ask anytime about paint, I think you've also been on Astronaut's Ford thread, they do niiiice work! Wow! Glad you're getting back on this!

Re: My '67 Fleetside C10 renew
Thanks and welcome to the board! Wheels are from Wheel Vintique. I bought them through CJ Pony Parts online. Summit and Jegs can get them to you also. They are 62 series, 15x8 and 15x10. I found the caps on Craigslist.

Re: My '67 Fleetside C10 renew
On your wheels. What back spacing did you order? I really like the width of the rears. Will those tuck inside the wells? I will need some meats I think, going with a 400 SBC with 3:73 gears.

Re: My '67 Fleetside C10 renew
I'll for sure put some licks on it and see if I can get it back. If not, then a re-pop should be a no-touchy, bolt on deal kind of deal I would think.

Re: My '67 Fleetside C10 renew
I've been on it! Wifey got me some rigid insulation for my shop doors so I did that and repaired / adjusted all that erector set hardware too. WAY BETTER - thanks Wifey!!!
I've got three solid days in trying to get that bed in shape. This stunt was way harder than I anticipated. Part of the issue was the damage to the bedsides before I even started. I welded the panels back up like a surgeon and thought I went really slow, skipping all over the place..... NOT! I annihilated my bed at all four corners with that welder. I ended up having to pound more holes in it and use the slide-hammer to get it close then hammered my fingers to the bone fixing that wreck. I'll still have a solid 1/8" of filler over all the seams. The inside panels are hell too. I used a piece of plate as a dolly and hammered every little ding I could find in the front panel flat and have decided to use the Raptor Liner (color matched) on the insides on all four sides (inside of tail gate too) as well as the wheel tubs. I cut them stake pockets out, made patches from my section drops, got those all tacked in pretty-like, welded them home and my bed rails looked like hockey sticks! Cut that back apart and used more clamps and such. We tossed the bed on the frame for a look and I'm EXCITED!! The track width of my rear end / wheels and such is PERFECT! Wheel is centered in the opening and isn't hanging out. I threw a tub on there and I've got at least 1-1/2" of tire clearance on the inside. I got my first patch of filler down on one side and will roll from there.
