I can bend it no prob just annoying having to modify these parts. That and its 1.0mm a little thin. On my parts they range from 1.0mm,1.2mm,1.4mm. mine are all triplus/key parts. I would like atleast 1.2mm floor, do you know what thickness yours was? a lot of times classic will stick they're pn sticker over the triplus sticker. Oh also where are you buying the weld through primer? I cant find any, maybe not looking hard enough. Im waiting to finishing mine after buying a bottle so I dont loose the rest of my hair on the flux core.

thanks Dan,
I bought the floor pans from Kenny's trucks but they are the same as LMC. It is pretty thin like .035" thick I think? (not correct to the oem) Mine didn't have the brake at the front either. If you are doing a short repair like I did on the driver side it's not too bad. But because the panel shape is off it pulled when I got it where it need to be at the seam. In hindsite, I should have left the gap at the front seam and made the floor match. I had no less than 15 hours in just the front pan and kick panel (another POS!).

The UPOL weld through primer I ordered online. HERE is where I got mine from. It was 2 years ago though. You may be able to find it somewhere else cheaper? I haven't seen it locally, but maybe one of OKC car paint stores carry it?

Have a great day..

Thanks Mark, I know you know how frustrating the rust repair is. I saw your build! I am back on the rust attack tonight.

Thanks Drew, You are welcome to use mine any time. The passenger side didn't spot weld as good as the driver. I'm not sure if I waited too long after the weld through primer was added or what? I ended up drilling and mig welding half of it. When I "tweaked" the rocker it broke several of the spot welds. Ideally, I think bare metal to metal works the best for spot welds but I was worried about rust starting right away so I coated both with the Upol.

thanks Keith, It's kinda funny how a series of pictures on here make it look like a few hours of work

Fact is I saw too many guys pictures and figured well that looks like a few weekends worth of work.......

Bennett68C10 · 02-23-2012, 09:21 AM

I hear you Mike, I wish it was a few weekends. My few weekends has turned into 2 years so far

my67chevytruck · 02-23-2012, 12:21 PM

nice work Mike, I am not looking forward to the cab repairs i need in the K10 !!

Thanks for stopping by Heath. I would recommend you buy a Western dry county "rust free" cab. Save yourself some pain, mentally and physically

I honestly think I would buy a semi truck load of them if I could find a deal on them. I have no doubt they would sell. Back when I first started working on these old trucks you could find them pretty easy around here only needing rockers. Now.....good luck.

bjcaldwe · 02-24-2012, 12:25 AM

It is ok. I haven't worked on it recently but did buy my steering rack today. So, little by little I am at least getting the parts.

Cool glad to hear you are getting some new parts. You have a really nice suspension setup on your truck. Looking forward to new updates.

mcbassin · 02-24-2012, 01:10 AM

Hey fellow board members I have a little poll here, I am working on my plans for paint. I'm pretty well set on what I want but I wonder if I'm just getting old? Anyway, which do you like better? Keep in mind, I have 3" X 5" drop and will have Polished Coy's (18-20") or Polished Billets??? (18-20"). Sorry I don't have photoshop skills or I would make a mock up of each one.
Opinions

Solid red (not Porche red but Victory Gm)?
Victory Red with white cap and middle?
Solid Black?

I like the second pic
*polished billets
*red/white top/white center
also noticed that one painted the front windshield pillars and door window frames white. I like that better than the roof on the first.

I like the painted pillars & door glass frame.

Nice looking mirrors. Are those the 71-72 sport mirrors or something else?

I am going to use 68-69 Camaro mirrors on mine that look similar but the mirror head is just a little different.

I'm using 71-72 sport mirrors. so far I have only the RH side NOS. Still looking for a deal on the LH side.

FYI, I will either run 18" X 10 rear and 18" X 8 front or
20"X10 rear and 20"X8 front. Staggard width and tire not wheel diameter size. I should have made that clear.

fencepost · 02-24-2012, 09:35 AM

I guess I'm odd I like solid colors I'd go all black. But if I just had to go 2-tone the 2nd pic would be mine.
