Re: Project: Recycle
Just found this and subscribed. Love the upper shock mounts and exhaust route path Scoti. I went with 1" longer PB arms and figure the adjustable del spheres will give me enough room to play with fore/aft. Might have to use the spacers on my 64 though. BTW, I'm in Austin next week. Might have no choice but to check this baddog out

Re: Project: Recycle
Dang Scot! You have been moving along at a decent pace. You never mentioned this last time we talked.

Re: Project: Recycle
There's more done but I'm showing only the pics of the chassis so far. Once I'm past that, I'll have other stuff too.

Re: Project: Recycle
I got a little time in tonight but nothing worth pics.
To recap, I've been considering two choices for my fuel-fill change since my original 'easy-fill' option wouldn't work. Last Friday, I picked up a nice, flat, rectangular, flip open gas door. Option #1 is flush mounting a stainless filler in the floor. Option #2 is the bed (floor) mounted gas door w/the filler just below the floor. Option #1 is more than likely the route I'll take but I needed to visualize the size, placement, & complexity of each to make the final decision....

It may be more work, but I like option #2...

Re: Project: Recycle
I think it's the cleaner choice but the material is very thin & would require substantial re-working. That extra work has me questioning its worth....

Re: Project: Recycle
I prefer option 2 as well. It's all up to you as to which you like best. All we can do is give our .02.

A little bit of time on the floor yielded a rough idea of how the flush mount set-up will look. I used what was readily available to mimic the 45° slope on the floor runners but widen out near the C/L of the cap. The steel is cut & just taped in place for observation. I fogged it w/some satin blk to get a better idea of how it flows w/the bed runner that runs the length of the floor....

Re: Project: Recycle
looking good, we did the '67 similar to that. I liked the option #2 as well, but didnt find a fuel door at the local JY quick enough, and just took the easy way out....

Re: Project: Recycle
I looked through the build but didn't notice bed floor pics.

Re: Project: Recycle
Boy, I missed something...I had to go back and skim through this whole thing to find out why your doing this for the filler neck. I found where you strugled with the piping from your original location in the corner. I thought that location was great. A buddy of mine did one in the corner on a '71 model that turned out nice, but I never looked at the piping or tank type.
I like how this centered location looks with the small filler. I think that getting anodized in a satin black if you use a spay in liner would make it almost disapear. Not to bug you too much, but did you have a chance to get those measurements of the axle perches?

Re: Project: Recycle
Well, it turned out ok. I'm not 100% pleased but I think it will suffice for this build. Keeping the corners aligned & symmetrical was much harder than anticipated. I also got the first fuel fill hole I cut out patched up while I was cutting, welding, & grinding....

Re: Project: Recycle
Looks good on the fill hole. Are you going to do a spray in bed liner or paint? I think that the liner would hide whatever you do not like...I don't see anything wrong in the pics.
Thanks for the measurements on the rear end.

Re: Project: Recycle
Scoti,...
I planned on just cutting a round hole and shoving my "homemade" adapter up thru the bed floor (from the bottom side) and welding in place. I made the step the same height as the bed floor rib. Still haven't installed it,... but here's a few pics of the piece I made. I don't have your welding skills, so I have to make do.

Re: Project: Recycle
It's just carbon steel.
I was going to have a buddy tack weld it in place from the bottom,... and then finish weld it from the top. I wanted something thicker than sheet metal, so I could tap the holes and use stainless machine screws instead of sheet metal screws.
