Re: ** YOUNG FRANKENSTEIN** The truck Chevrolet should have built.
I think so, but don't remember what page. Basically I took the old Suburban filler tube from the rear quarter panel and heated it so I could reshape it like I needed. Then I welded a reducer/enlarger on the end to fit the 2002 rubber filler hose. I also welded a mounting tab to screw it to the truck in the middle.

Re: ** YOUNG FRANKENSTEIN** The truck Chevrolet should have built.
I can't tell you how much better these fit and look. I got them in California at a place called, and I'm serious, The Truck Shop. I also got some Camaro 327 emblems for the fenders for my new 5.3 engine.

Re: ** YOUNG FRANKENSTEIN** The truck Chevrolet should have built.
its real re-assuring to hear that about the truck shop... another member, 454stepside, recommended them, so i am really liking the sound of them! I like their prices too!

Re: ** YOUNG FRANKENSTEIN** The truck Chevrolet should have built.
I was VERY impressed when I went there, it was huge and they had about 10 people behind the counter filling orders and answering questions. It seemed like they all were very well informed.

Re: ** YOUNG FRANKENSTEIN** The truck Chevrolet should have built.
Musical cabs again. This should be the last time I take it off. I am preparing to paint the firewall and interior this weekend and once that is dry, back on she goes for the last time.
That 4 by 4 has a huge bow in it, I picked it at the Home Depot and got it half price. They thought I was nuts for wanting it at all. It almost goes to flat when I lift the cab with it - perfect!

Re: ** YOUNG FRANKENSTEIN** The truck Chevrolet should have built.
Somethings not right. (first pic)
It was such a beautiful day, we worked outside. I wiped all 4 cuts with a THIN layer of Bondo and got out the air file (in line sander). This is a fantastic time saving tool which really makes body work turn out nice. Unless you only have a tiny spot to fix the orbital sander you probably have is the wrong tool, and will only lead to waves of frustration. The thinner/closer to the final shape you can spread it the less you will have to take off with the sander. Sand it down fairly flat, but don't try for perfection, if you do it will end up too low and need another coat. Any high spots in the metal will show up easy as bare metal, get out your hammer and dolly and tap the high spots down with the dolly behind. You are looking for a real solid sound, you'll know it when the dolly is directly behind your blow. For spots you can't get behind you'll just have to tap/dent it down and fill with Bondo.

Re: ** YOUNG FRANKENSTEIN** The truck Chevrolet should have built.
Cab is now back on the rolling cart and in the final stages of sanding in preparation for painting the fire wall and interior. I love my rolling cart - so handy.

Re: ** YOUNG FRANKENSTEIN ** The truck Chevrolet should have built.
Just a side bar on Dynamat. I found it installed on my donor truck, and it really is amazing how well it deadens the interior. On a newer model truck though, it probably doesn't add that much since they are so well insulated from the factory. On our trucks, I am sure the difference will be nothing short of amazing.
Since I was too cheap to buy the name brand Dynamat, I was worried my Eastwood Brand would be only a poor copy and not as good or effective. I was very pleasantly surprised when I compared the two and realized the Eastwood brand was actually thicker. I'll assume with sound deadening material that thicker is better, right? And it is about half price of the name brand stuff!!!

Re: ** YOUNG FRANKENSTEIN ** The truck Chevrolet should have built.
Thicker isn't always better on the soundproofing...the dynamat is the extreme version. It's meant for use just like you see where it forms easily to all the contours of the door. The thicker material has a problem bending to those contours or at least sticking over time....which once it's loose from the panel it loses most or all of its' effectiveness.
That being said the eastwood stuff looks thin enough to form and will be leaps and bounds over a cab without it!
