Thanks man! Slowly but surely! Hoping to up the ante a bit here soon!

I had the opportunity to see this truck in person and I can say that it is even more amazing than the pictures let on, I hope someday when both of our trucks are runners we can meet up and go cruising together.

Well Saturday after work it was nice and hot so I spent the evening cleaning and then sprayed some primer! Got a fair amount on and I'm very happy with how smooth it came out for Epoxy.

lowrodderchev · 05-21-2017, 09:29 PM

Yeah I love how epoxy lays out

Ta2Don · 05-22-2017, 07:24 AM

I picked up a Harbor Freight Stud Welder. It worked really well. Look for a puller that looks like a rivet gun. Here's a picture.

It worked really well. Nice and controllable.

Nice work TJ!

RKS0069 · 05-22-2017, 08:43 PM

Hi TJ!

WOW! Do you know what happened to the cab? I'm guessing some one rear ended your truck at some point in its life.

I'm not sure, both this and the 64 GMC have those same creases....both were used for off roading and hauling wood so I think the beds slammed into the cab a few times. Neither truck has any frame damage. It's weird. haha

these ladder style frames flex a lot, plus the cab bushings on a truck that old will have lots of flex. The cab and bed slamming into each other like you said seems like the most logical answer.

REALLY nice. Made me wonder why I went with the V8.... Yeah I remember now there was a big old hole in my inline 6, LOL. It got me home with the hole on a cold rainy night so it did its duty!!! Looking really good.

Yeah, I would have gone with a v8....probably should have at my pay grade. haha But I just couldn't let the 292 go. They're good motors! Thanks for checking in!

TJ's Chevy · 07-18-2017, 10:58 AM

Yay!!! Cab is fully primed in!

Now to block sanding and color!

BFoley · 07-18-2017, 12:12 PM
