Thanks Mark, Yeah I found a pair on craigs, then a single. I really only need to replace one more and finish the rock guards. It can be used like it is now. |

Re: 1969 Short Wide
That's how I did it- Did all the Jambs and cut-ins, then trailered the while thing to the booth. Put the Bed on a cart, masked up the cab/doghouse and had at it. Worked pretty good.

Re: 1969 Short Wide
I've been really busy on the project the last week or so. (Pictures soon), not much real progress but some is better than none. Wanted to share some trucks I've seen lately at my friend screamingchevypickup's shop:
Member 67 cheby (Mike) BUILD THREAD Member 67 Cheby again BUILD THREAD These rides set the bar as high as you can go, It's really inspirational to see them completed. |

Re: 1969 Short Wide
Here's what I've been working on, I made some sheetmetal mounts for my Vintage Air system. I really didn't like the ones that came with it. Next, I needed a bracket to mount my PCM up under the dash so I fabricated this one. It took me a few tries, and numerous hours, but I got one I'm happy with the outcome.
Vintage Air mounts, fabricated from 316 Stainless: Shown mounted PCM Bracket work, I made this piece first: Here's where it's going to mount: Made a cardboard templet: Welded up the prototype: Notice the weld is broken in this one: Had to tweak it a little.... Final design: Upper bracket machined from one piece Started install: Nut plate on the back side: Finally Mounted: Shown with connectors installed. It's still visible but not too bad. Once I route the wires on the modified harness I think it will work good. This is what I started working on next: |

Re: 1969 Short Wide
Thanks Steve. We can always cock our heads under to look at it.
I almost forgot, there will be another bracket to secure it at the back side near the firewall. I'm sure it won't need it with the beefy size of the main bracket but just in case the vibrations stress the sheet metal we won't get cracked.... |

Re: 1969 Short Wide
Are you going to be able to get your A/c ducting through there?

Re: 1969 Short Wide
Thanks, I know it's a little overkill but I've had this thought in my head for a while so I just had to try to make it. I have access to scrap aluminum too which is pretty handy. If I can't find the pieces I need I just pick them up on eBay. A real cheap source.

Re: 1969 Short Wide
Kyle had me a little worried so I double checked the A/C duct routing. A little tight with the cluster installed, but I believe it will work good.
Next I started prepping to paint the bottom of the bed and tubs: Painted - single stage urethane cheap and easy: Lined with Raptor liner: |

Re: 1969 Short Wide
It doesn't seem like that long ago your truck was at this point Mark.
Mike, it's great to see so much progress. All you lack is finishing up.

Re: 1969 Short Wide
Thanks Mark. Yeah, I will be shooting a test run of some paint soon. Maybe as early as next week.
Thanks Dan. It only took about 10 hours Quote:
It was just this time last year if I remember right. He knocked it out quick. I hope to do the same. Finishing is the hard part. Quote:

As far as prep goes, I used 220 grit on a DA sander where I could reach and the red 3m scotch brite everywhere else. The light gray primer is Matrix epoxy and the dark gray is Omni epoxy. On the bed floor (top side) I painted it with the same bc/cc that I'm using everywhere else. I did this so there would be no issue with gray spots. I know now the tinted covers good enough to skip this step.

Re: 1969 Short Wide
Nice job on the bed parts! How do you apply that Raptor Liner?

Re: 1969 Short Wide
Love the pcm mount! Work looks great- I gotta try that Raptor liner next time. Al's works good, but almost no open time, and a PITA to shoot with a hopper gun. The work Kyle did with it on Square peg and yours here has me convinced. Keep it up, it looks great!
