i also had to replace the corners of the rear floor that the tank covers up..the floor was rotted there.. just took flat sheet metal stuck in a vice and bent it then welded it in.. sorry no pics because 9 gallons of gas in a tank is heavy when your putting the tank in/out by yourself

**Palf70Step** · 03-10-2009, 07:31 PM

The repairs look good. Keep upthe work on it (just use the helmet please!).

tim21391 · 03-10-2009, 09:51 PM

i just want to give a big thanks to a board member that has helped me do a lot of the fix 88jrfan (daren).. i dont know anybody else that is doing the same exact fix i am do and doesnt mind working on his truck then helping me at the same time...thanks daren!!

the truck is on hold for awhile..since im only 18 money gets short and im tryin to keep my parents check book out of my build as much as possible... if they do help pay i plan on paying every penny back so when im finished i can say that an 18 year paid for this out of his pocket.. ill post more pics later but like i said its on hold because i also have to save money.. my senior class is going to orlando, flordia so i gotta save money for that...

**88JRFAN** · 03-10-2009, 10:54 PM

Your welcome Tim. Glad to help. Helping you let me learn some to.

tim21391 · 03-11-2009, 11:26 AM

how far are u on your cab.. i havent been able to make it over and see it for awhile..

**88JRFAN** · 03-11-2009, 04:24 PM

Still got to get the cab corner put in, then finish the outer rocker. Then fix one small rust spot on the floor. Fill in all the extra holes that i don't need and that should be about it.

tim21391 · 03-11-2009, 09:22 PM

oh icic.. i think im going to order the cab mounts next week then slap in the front two supports..the rear supports are going to be a pita but ill find a way to get them to work... then i think im gonna start taking my ac condensor off.. to get down to the rad support

cedorris · 03-16-2009, 02:18 PM

Can the front cab supports be replaced without removing the cab from the frame? Just supporting it with jackstands and such?

tim21391 · 03-17-2009, 06:25 PM

thats all im gonna do.. im going to put a few 2x4's or 2x6's on a jack and put it on the rail under the cab and jack it up til it wont go no more then im going to slap in the support and weld it... i already fitted the driver side and drilled holes for spot welds so i assume it should work...sry no pics yet i have to wait til i get my cab mounts so i can put that little sleeve in the support before i mount it up

tim21391 · 03-22-2009, 01:06 AM

all that work to fix this little rotted spot...

my rotted radiator support

heres a new radiator for me... well its from a parted out truck.. its just surface rusted.. i plan on blasting it and painting it

tim21391 · 03-22-2009, 01:07 AM

i also used trim black paint and painted my firewall... im going to go back with a white or silver sharpie and draw on my factory markings since i took a pic of them and wrote them down

OLDIRON69 · 04-02-2009, 03:36 PM

tim21391 · 04-20-2009, 11:53 PM

heres an update.. the new radiator support is in... left front fender is undercoated on the underside and scuffed up so i can prime it on the outside.. otherside goes on towards end of the weekend..
