New Project! 67 Extended cab... - Page 3 - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

extd56 · 08-30-2005, 10:37 PM

I will be using solid windows in the extended part, don't really need windows with the air conditioning blowing cold air and that way I know that my grandson won't be sticking his head out the window too. I wanted the truck to have the same windows as the truck picture that is attached.

Another picture of a truck with a extended cab and a solid rear window, looks real close to mine but in a 4 wheel drive version.

WOW! That is impressive! I've done a little panel forming out of brass for model cars using that same technique, but I have never tried it on full size panels. Good job.

Well it has been a week or so since I have had time to work on the project but as of tomarrow I will have time again. A few months ago I got a small bid for a custom hand rail job up in the Napa Valley and this week was crunch time for getting it done and just in time for the open house on Sunday. So first thing in the morning I will be cleaning the shop and geting things back where I can work again and then back on to the 67.
In the past few day extd56 has been getting part info and locating them. He is going with a Howell EFI harness for the 454 and tranny and a Painless 18 circute for the truck. This should make things real sweet for adding Air, CC, EFI fuel pump, the 91 tilt column and what ever else we can use from the donner vehical.
Here are a few pics of the rail if anyone cares. He was going for that Contempaorary - industrial look.

Kevin,

The railing looks nice, great job. I am sure that the owner was real happy with your job on the railing. I got the Painless 18 circuit wiring kit on the way, got a great deal on it on Ebay, almost 1/2 price. I checked out a few more things that will be needed from the donor truck. Talk to you later.

Rockrln I am a bodyman by trade but have been a bodyshop manager my last 12 years but do some restoration work too on the side but am taking a break. The last car I did was a 105,000 dollar rotisserie restoration on a 67 shelby gt500 restomod so I am very picky. You do gorgeous work. So much I see these days is sloppy. The gentleman you are building the truck for better appreciate your work $$$!! Nice job.

Thanks for the props~ But after seeing cars built like you are talking about make me feel like a hack! But hay you have to start somewhere right.
Thanks again.

I picked up my truck to take it to get soda blasted and thought I would get some of the old bondo off the roof to make it easier for blasting. They must of used a gallon of bondo on the roof.

extd56 · 10-03-2005, 11:26 AM

The bed is also off the truck to get the back of the cab blasted to see if any more rust is hiding.

red71cheyenne · 10-03-2005, 11:27 AM

hehe, think of all the weight you just shaved taking that bondo off. Now you can add a winch or something to make up for it.

No winch, We are going to add a big block injected with over drive

Then add all the extras like A/C, CC, power this and a bit of that! Yea the roof does not look to good in the pic's but once finished it will require alot less filler. We have talked about trying to push the low areas up or if need be we will add filler strips of metal in the low areas to decrease the filler needed or the big option would be to graft the ribbed roof of his donner 91 Sub. I will wait and see what the blasting shows us and decide from their. EXTD56 keeps saying it is just a daily driver but I have seen his colection of cars and he does not do anything half a$$. It should be a real nice driver when we get done.

Aquivarious · 10-03-2005, 10:09 PM

I just have to say that this is a huge project and the work you do just blows my mind! Of course I havent just went to my project and made my replacement panels either.

Just Lots of PROPS!

extd56 · 10-12-2005, 07:00 PM

I took the truck to get soda blasted, it took about 5 hours to get it done. The old bondo did not want to come off but it did. It looks like the truck was a experiment in the making, it does need cab corners also.

extd56 · 10-12-2005, 07:10 PM

More pictures of the truck blasted

extd56 · 10-12-2005, 07:15 PM

The last of the pictures

stllookn · 10-12-2005, 08:09 PM

What do they charge for the soda blasting?

Is that what they call a diamond in the rough?

**Canadian694x4** · 10-12-2005, 10:33 PM

Great Progress! Man tho, those extended cab makers sure left alot spots for (filler) to be used!!

Aquivarious · 10-13-2005, 01:37 AM

Looks promising still... I would just say do a better job putting it together than the guys who did it in the first place!

Wow, what a project!

Rokcrln · 11-02-2005, 10:25 PM

Yes we are looking at alot of different ways of re-doing this truck. It will turn out alot better then the first time around. Sorry to say their has not been any progress on the truck in the last few weeks and that is my fault. I have been working on my house and my winter working space. Here are a few pic's of the before and after. Only problem is now it is too nice to drive on

Kevin

extd56 · 11-02-2005, 11:37 PM

Kevin,

The driveway looks too good to drive on much less work on.

I would hate for my truck to leave the first oil stain on your concrete but with no motor I guess that is kind of hard to do. Now the donor truck is a different story as it has a leaky valve cover I was going to fix once it was out or just get some different covers. I think you got it done just in time for the winter rains.

extd56 · 04-09-2006, 06:56 PM

Got a little bit of work done today on the extended cab truck. Got it all rinsed down from the blasting and got all the rivets out from inside.

extd56 · 04-09-2006, 06:58 PM

I also got the old motor mounts off the frame that the PO had welded on.

bowtie · 11-02-2005, 11:31 PM

that is a lot of cement you poured, looks great!!!

**Canadian694x4** · 04-09-2006, 10:14 PM

It's starting to come along nice now. Great Work!

**Yukon Jack** · 04-10-2006, 11:07 AM

Good to see an update on it.
