Re: 72 K30 Build
So here is a fuss-bucket move in an effort to not make any more holes than really necessary. We anchored the outer upper patch using all the holes that were pre-existed by drilling from the inside out.

Re: 72 K30 Build
That kind of short cut is what some would call a party foul. I spent 2 days welding up 47 holes in my frame that are not required.

Re: 72 K30 Build
Needed a fuel fill patch for the next round of welding.

Re: 72 K30 Build
Maybe I missed the plan on this, but what are you going to run for a fuel filler?
I'm actually thinking about what to do with my '50 since it's going to have an under bed tank and I'm not a huge fan of the through-floor fill necks

Re: 72 K30 Build
Thanks!
Still have useable saddle tanks from the RV and even if we don't use that set up I'm sure it will be something similar. Also toying with the idea of running another tank all the way in the back between the rails.

Re: 72 K30 Build
It’s an attack of the Green Slim!! I wanted to treat the lower large patch panel cavity upside down so the slim could seep into the pinch weld. We always spray the can dry when using this stuff so the remainder of the can went in between the roof panels and pillars. It will get a second coat but needed to do this prior to the welding of the panel.

Re: 72 K30 Build
I didn't really answer your question earlier. The RV saddle tanks have a welded on neck and I'm not sure they will work with the flatbed. The other style tank I'm thinking about would be more like a semi with a screw on cap type fill.

Re: 72 K30 Build
Is that the Eastwood Internal Frame coating?
I was thinking about what to spray inside right above the mirror by removing the visors and spraying in from there. . Eastwood also sells this stuff: http://www.eastwood.com/ew-rust-enca...html?reltype=3 I almost pulled the triger on this today for the same purpose, . http://www.eastwood.com/eastwood-hea...-in-black.html Not sure what is better and why, any thoughts about one VS the other? . . . .

Re: 72 K30 Build
Yes it is and here is a link http://www.eastwood.com/internal-fra...arent_id=25961
We needed this kind of product for my 1/2 ton project and decided to use it again for this one. Some of my reasons for using this product are I've used it before, the color you can tell where it is and where it ain't. This stuff does go on sale and if you buy enough you can get free shipping as well at times so the price was right for us (got 5 cans for under $75 delivered) . It has been around and I think has more favorable reviews? Other than that I have no opinion except for as much time and effort that goes into fixing one of these cabs I think you would be foolish not to use something. ![]()

Re: 72 K30 Build
More panel prep the lower is now ready to go. We needed to fill some holes in the upper outer patch.

So after we checked to see if their was any wire left in the machine we moved on as you will soon see. Thanks man we are ahead of the thread a little. Gonna keep working the cab but looking into the next phase some.
