Re: LT1 Burbs 65 Stock SW Build
Thanks for the bracket pic!! So is that bolt a special bolt with a stud coming out of the end of it? Is the lower bolt the same way?

Re: LT1 Burbs 65 Stock SW Build
It is just a stud that threads into the block and then double nutted , the rest of the bolts are regular 3/8 bolts. The stud is probably 1.5"long if I had to guess, any automotive store will have them.

Re: LT1 Burbs 65 Stock SW Build
Worked on trying to pull a dent from the back of my cab but it wouldn't come out. I tried and finally cut it out and welded in a new piece. It took me awhile to heat and cool and shrink an stretch the area to get it straight as I could not get behind it to dolly it but finally got it fairly close.

Re: LT1 Burbs 65 Stock SW Build
Still doing bodywork, as I will be for a few months. Skim coated the back after using my stud gun to pull some small dents and it actually is very flat when I put a 6' level across it. It looked like the ocean before, I guess the bed of this truck was well used.

Re: LT1 Burbs 65 Stock SW Build
Well, after spending 8 hours trying to fix my roof and stop the oil canning I said screw it. Time for a re-skin, I think it might be easier.

Re: LT1 Burbs 65 Stock SW Build
Looking good. Be careful welding the roof back because you can't get behind it to work with a dolly and hammer.

Re: LT1 Burbs 65 Stock SW Build
Took the roof off and found a nice rats nest, I wonder how many restored trucks running around have something like this in them.

Re: LT1 Burbs 65 Stock SW Build
i just had an idea, maybe if we sandwich fiberglass, the tiger-hair type with with longish fibers between smooth, flexible yet rigid cardboard on the shroud let it cure and maybe it will allow some fibers to show to mimic the factory molded look, and then just color match with mist coats of flat grey to try and blend the color. whatcha think bout that idea?
