Re: The Green Monster Just an old farm truck
You gotta love new parts! Looks like you scored some really solid sheet metal. Looking forward to seeing the difference it makes.

Re: The Green Monster Just an old farm truck
made some headway today. Lat night I sanded down all the rot and rust on my new doors and painted them in east woods rust encapsulater. This is all temp until I repaint the truck in spring.
parts took over the basement.. ![]() This stuff works good! now will it hold up???????? ![]() ![]() Again this is temp until spring. They would not pass the truck for safety before. I shot these with "amy green" rusto paint. Looks light to me tho not as olive drab as I had hoped. ahh well it is temp like I said. ![]()

Re: The Green Monster Just an old farm truck
When you redo the rocker pannel you might want to consider buying a patch pannel. I would ditch the flux core wire too. If you were using solid core wire with an argon mix gas the patch you did would look better. Flux core is just too hot for sheet metal. The truck is looking good. I like the dark green paint.

Thanks. I was going really quick just getting something on there kinda deal. I found with a higher wire speed and the lowest setting I got pretty decent welds with the flux on this thin metal. But yeah some new cab panels will be in the future and I already have the gas conversion kid just need to get some gas.

Re: The Green Monster Just an old farm truck
That old bed you have left would make a neat little utility trailer. I always wanted a LWB bed that matched my truck, wheels and all.

Re: The Green Monster Just an old farm truck
That would be cool. We did that one time with the old bed from my old '62 chevy stepside, since the floor was gone in the bed and the trailer had a good one, we were all set.
