Re: Project "Jezebel"
Next I need to find a place for my fuse block since I removed it from the firewall. I decided to put it in the void behind the seat where the gas filler was located. To make this work I need to fab a panel with a door that when opened would expose the fuse block. I'm not finished with it and I have not made up my mind exactly how I am going to route my wires but I will enclose pics when I get it figured out. I have a couple options, just waiting to see which one works best.

Re: Project "Jezebel"
This was a nasty mess of a task (the initial stripping part). I needed to remove 40 years of road gunk and old undercoating from the bottom of the cab. I tried everything from chemical strippers to paint scrapers. I found the best tool by far is a wire wheel on a 4 1/2 grinder. You need the heavy duty twisted wire ones. Be careful though, if you hit yourself it will rip your skin off down to the meat. I was lucky not to have a run in with it but be careful all the same.
This was dusty and nasty but it took off the old gunk down to shiny metal. I then bodyworked the weld seams where I replaced the floor portions and then shot on a good coat of etch primer. The last task was to coat the entire bottom with truck bed liner. I used Al's liner, I was skeptical at first that a DIY kit wouldn't provide enough texture but I was pleasantly surprised. I used the entire gallon on the underside of the cab so I could get a nice thick layer that would seal out the elements. I will use the same on the underside of the bed when I get to that stage. Lifting the cab with my cherrypicker helped me cover the entire cab floor. Otherwise I could not get the gun low enough to obtain complete coverage where the cab corner wraps around the back of the cab.

Re: Project "Jezebel"
OCD kicked in again... :-) Not being able to leave things well enough alone I couldn't get over the different look of the two sides of the firewall. It just looked like something was removed and left unfinished. I like to have people who don't know these trucks to look at things and not realize they were changed. I know I'm weird but I get my kicks in having people not notice changes, and to have some "experts" not being able to put their finger on what changed (Although this change is pretty obvious when you see the slick firewall).
Here is where I started Closeup of the area that bothered me The plan The implementation Decided against covering that small section of original firewall. This is what I was replicating from the passenger side.

Re: Project "Jezebel"
GREAT job!!! I really appreciate the symmetry... We completely shaved mine and angled the driprail so it's one level all the way across...haven't seen anyone do exactly what you did and I like it a lot!
Keep up the good work

Re: Project "Jezebel"
Thanks Seventy Two. I cant believe my last update was in November.. I have not done much work on Jezebel since then unfortunately. December and January was spent building a new shop. I have since moved in and more recently picked up a 60 GMC that has been taking most of my time. I will be getting back to Jezebel soon though.
Steve

Re: Project "Jezebel"
Recently I've been stripping paint from the cab and completing more bodywork smoothing out all the metal work that was done. Hopefully I can get the cab in its first coat of 2k this weekend.
I am debating on putting a 67/68 clip on the truck but who knows. One day I think, "yea, i'm going for it", the next I think, "just get the truck done". What do you guys think about not using the stock front end? I did order my wheels and tires last week. Decided to go with 17" since I am not a fan of the big wheels unless the truck is really low and on air. Jezebel will have a static 4"-6" drop so I think the 17s will be about what I need. I will post some pick when the wheels and tires get here. Steve

Re: Project "Jezebel"
Sgaylord, will you come to Atlanta and help me with my cab
I bought a 71 that I am putting a 67/68 front end on. To me the slant of the hood just makes the truck look soooo much better.
