Re: Project "Class Act"
Dan,
Its progress none-the-less! Looking better every time I check it out. If you need some wheel humps Ill look and see if there's a good pair out there. I have about 3-4 rust free sets but I know you want a real nice set with minimal dents too. Ill look tomorrow! Mike |

Bummer about the bed problems. Hope you get it worked out. I will keep an eye out for some GM tubs for you.

Re: Project "Class Act"
Not sure a different set of tubs will do the trick. Maybe if you're lucky, since the current ones are repops. On mine, when I lined up the holes in the tub with the matching holes in the floor, the captive nuts in the bedside missed the tub holes by about 3/4". For everything to line up, the best solution was to shift that area on the bedside. That keeps the spacing between the tub and the embossed areas on the inner panel correct. You can do it without a donor panel, but it's more work because you have to scab extra material on one end and rebuild the embossed areas. Not a huge deal, but still a PITA.

Re: Project "Class Act"
Ok... I have determined that the Counterpart wheel tubs will not fit... thanks to Cash3481 I have a set of useable tubs for a reasonable amount.. these are going to take alot of work to make them nice enough they at least fit the Dynacorn bedsides and floor...

Re: Project "Class Act"
I went by the body shop today... they have done about 2-3 hours worth of work this week to the truck... The cab corner was dollied out and skim coated and they were starting to weld the roof to back of cab seam up so to not that the open seam showing... Hopefully next week more will get done... We have changed from doing the frame in Silver to painting it body color...

Re: Project "Class Act"
I had the same overload springs on mine. I through them away. Extra weight and I did not like them. I want to hauling anything that requires them.

Re: Project "Class Act"
I went by Chris Carlson's Hot Rods earlier this week... They have been working on the truck a little... What they have done is Really great work.. I have had them weld the cab roof to Back Cab Panel seam to give it a smooth look... I have always thought that is the way these should have been done at the factory... Chris and I decided that the "bowtie" that separated the Grille openings needed to go away so they reworked that to eliminate it... That was where they were at when I saw in on Monday...
I am trying to decide if I want to leave the "CHEVROLET" letters on the hood or not... I am going with a Hot Rod look but I am definitely keeping the "Custom Camper" emblems on the fenders... so what do you all think about the hood letters... I may try to sneak over there today if he is going to be in the shop working on the SEMA Mustang... We will see if they will be there... Here are a couple of pics just to show you this...

Re: Project "Class Act"
If you are eliminating the emblem then it makes sense to eliminate the lettering also.
This is just an opinion but it doesn't make a whole lot of sense to put the custom camper emblems on a short bed truck. I know there is some sentimental value associated with the badge but instead maybe you could pinstripe his name on the glove box door or something. Last edited by Xeen; 09-13-2014 at 09:10 AM. |
