Re: PO has me PO'd
You could be right, that new stuff is probably metric. Nice choice on the tBi

Re: PO has me PO'd
For those of you that dont have a blast cabinet, or you just cant hold on to small parts without blasting your glove (yeah, i know you could use pliers), apple cider vinegar does a masterful job of lifting the rust off of heavily rusted parts in about a day. If you cant wait, alittle scrubbing with a wire brush speeds it up a bit
Sorry, but i only had orange in high temp......trust me, these parts were heavily rusted If you dont believe me, look at the pic in post 2098 Gotta wait for the wifey to run some errands so i can bake the parts in her oven  20131004_120737 by jarosaj, on Flickr

Re: PO has me PO'd
You're doing a great job on this. You are taking your time but the details you have are outstanding. I'm more of a slap it together and get it done type and try to do the best I can at that pace. I have the determination to finish but lack the patience to make it great.
Love the gold.  My paint looks completely different in the sun but in the shade or non-direct lighting it is very close to the wrap color you have picked. Go glossy with the gold. The matte look just makes it look old and faded or weathered, which I don't think you will be happy with.

I don't deserve your best efforts. I haven't done anything to earn that. If thats where you find the motivation to do this incredible build and to take the time to share it here, then kudos to you for identifying that and using it to push onward. Whatever it takes. Finding that drive is sometimes the biggest challenge, even beyond time and money. I may not post a lot on this or other threads, but I'm watching, admiring and learning from some talented people. If I can help or entertain others along the way I'm just giving what I get.

Youve succeeded in building a very nice truck, one that your son will get to enjoy. Possibly, take up the torch and build something someday. We can only plant the seed, and hope it grows in our children..... I dont think i could have done a paint job like that and retained what little bit of sanity i have left, way to much tedious work for me, but you pulled it, and it looks great. Gotta get back to work

Re: PO has me PO'd
Yeah, the slots in the backing plate are just for shoe inspection, the adjuster is on the outside of the drum. Props to you Jim. This is 1 nice build & thread.

Re: PO has me PO'd
Hate to give you guys a response without a pic...picked up this period correct diff. cover on our classifieds, but it makes my axle look like crap. Ill have to fix that!
Having a problem with the fuel pump fitting between the cross sills, seems that ill have to rotate pump, and have the fuel lines come in from the passenger side, then loop over to the drivers side Also, ordered up the recessed head SS bolts from totally stainless, needed longer bolts to compensate for the thickness of the cover  20131022_122130 by jarosaj, on Flickr

Re: PO has me PO'd
Quote:
Wheelhouses have to be modified slightly, to get the offset of the bedsides to line up again, but this is easy, just a cut in the sheetmetal and rebend in the proper location. Also, you have to slot the mounting holes, since the wood is thicker than the sheetmetal floor. Ive used fender washers and shims to spread the load of the bolts The wood (with the wheelhouse notch cut into it) has to be flopped right to left, so the board with the extra lenght can be cut to fit. Keep the curvature of the wood up (growth ring) as this provides better protection to the elements The only other area of concern is the 'B' post, the small piece of wood has to be routed out on the underside to give clearance for proper fit  20131023_113723 by jarosaj, on Flickr

Re: PO has me PO'd
Thanks Jim, my main concern was at the B post and the front of the bed. I have a whole kit for a pickup rear sill, cross braces and strips. I was mainly wondering how you did the front part of the bed.i didn't know if you recessed the boards or not. I appreciate the advice. I don't mean to aggravate, but the wife says I do that a lot! Lol

I sat the bed wood on top of the step up, then drilled holes in the flange. Still have to buy the little blocks of wood that go between the bed floor, seals up the space, so no exhaust enters cab The small piece is a trial and fit affair at the 'B' post, luckily it would be cheap to replace if it was a bad fit Show me pics of how you addressed this area, im up for any new ideas
