We purchased them from Ecklers. On one of the bottoms where the door skin folds over on the side was trimmed a little short, so I had to weld a piece on. Like most reproductions, you have to make them fit.

While I stripped down the driver side quarter panel, my old man did the body work on the passenger side quarter panel.

It's looking good .

oldyellowssun · 09-18-2016, 01:02 PM

Over the past 2 weeks, we finished up the body work on the passenger side quarter panel and got it primed. The hood hinges were cleaned and painted.

YES! Finally! A member after my own heart!!!!

I use a combination of electrolysis and Evaporust soak. First the former, followed by the latter. Much more effective over the other alone.

A sand blaster would be more efficient and effective, but I have no room for one.

Sand blasting has its place, but on parts like hinges, latches and window cranks I like to use electrolysis. There is nothing worse than opening a hood or rolling up a window and hearing that gritty grind.

My pops fitted the lower pillar patch & cut out the passenger side floor board

Typical Reproductions

oldyellowssun · 10-02-2016, 07:58 PM

Floor board and rocker welded in on passenger side.

Looking good. I like how you let the Grand Dorito photo bomb the hinge pics. Keep the Ford pics to a minimum please. This is a GM site.

I apologize, maybe I'll get done with the Grand Dorito soon and replace it with some GM metal.

oldyellowssun · 10-16-2016, 06:53 PM

This weekend we finished up the floor and got it painted. I also cut bolts out of the bed so that we can get it ready to take off.

**IronCanine** · 10-16-2016, 09:04 PM

Looking great. Can't see the ground anymore!

mcbassin · 10-17-2016, 04:10 PM

Very nice looking project. You have done a great job repairing the rust. Keep up the good work. Subscribed....

Thanks!

oldyellowssun · 10-22-2016, 06:24 PM

Today we built a frame for the bed of the truck to go on. After, we took the bed off.

**IronCanine** · 10-22-2016, 07:40 PM

I recognize those blocks!

oldyellowssun · 10-23-2016, 02:30 PM

Forgot to post this yesterday. Here's a picture of the bed on the frame we built

Dad's72 · 10-23-2016, 03:23 PM

Good idea. Got any measurements on the bed roller frame

6' long x 5' wide x 32" high. We bought eight 2x4x8 studs and had nothing left but a little saw dust. Found the 10" wheels at harbor freight for $4 a piece.

Dad, I hope these are the measurements that are correct after you made it 7 inches too long. We had to go back and cut off seven inches

oldyellowssun · 10-23-2016, 08:16 PM

Since we got the bed off we were able to work on the cab corner today.

Thank you. Gona do this. I will have to adjust the length for my long bed. Did you just bolt it down to the 2x4?

Yes, so it want slide around when you push it.

Very nice progress on the bed and cab.
