Awesome progress Ryan! That inner fender looks way better than my best pair. I'm still trying to figure out how to repair that brace down at the bottom that always rusts from the inside out.
You have any more pictures of your repair.
I really like the custom emblems too.

Keep up the good work.

Thanks! No sorry I don't have any more pics of the rust repair on these. The rust was in the same spot yours is. Well, actually mine had rust in both upper mounting holes, and the lower too. I just cut the rusted areas out, wire wheeled them, and then cut 1/8" thick patches and welded them in. Then I welded the inside bracket to the patch and ground them smooth. On one of them I just welded the rust out of it but it was a PITA! For some reason, my inners had undercoating or some goo in between the supports and inner fender. Too bad it didn't help keep them from rusting.

**Dieselwrencher** · 09-05-2013, 05:51 PM

Last night I got the RH inner fender painted and this morning I installed it. Then I had to beat on it so the air filter would go on. I will have to redo these inner fenders later on.................

The above picture was before I tried shutting the hood. The hood hinge got all up in the air filter's goods so I had to rearrange it again.

I finally drilled the mounting holes for my front bumper reinforcement bars and installed them. This is another part that is different from 2wd to 4wd on these trucks.

Tomorrow I have to install my new headliner and trim, install the sun visors, touch up some scratches, I'm going to try to paint the black on my trim, and clean the bed out. If I have time, I'm going to try to build a trans shifter from a stock handle too. Then it's off to KC!

I've got your trailer queen............

Only reason it's being trailered right now is because it isn't finished. It could be sitting in the yard doing nothing but I choose to take it and show it off a little bit.

Vintage Windmills · 09-05-2013, 10:08 PM

Truck is awesome you should be proud! I want one!

72duraburb · 09-05-2013, 10:37 PM

How was the trip to KC? Where are the pics!

6BT 56 · 09-29-2013, 09:49 PM

Hey Ryan. Truck is sure looking sharp. Hows it running ? Do you know how I move my build thread or who I ask to move it over here. I seem to be spending most of my time here checking out what everyone is up to. I took my 56 to the pull last nite . Had a ton of fun. Going to put a update now. Not too many people on the 55 to 59 side into this kind of thing tho .

**Dieselwrencher** · 10-02-2013, 07:49 PM

PM a moderator and have them move it for you. Oh no, you went to a pull? That was a bad idea. That's a bad bug to get.

Ya the pull was lots of fun . Looking forward to twaeaking the truck this winter and going back next year , Actually we have 3 pulls al within 20 min of here . Should be fun .

Do you know how I go abt finding out who is a moderator ?

6lcummins · 10-04-2013, 01:40 PM

The easiest to see what mod is online is to go to the bottom of the main forum page where it lists all the members online and click on a RED name and PM them.

**Dieselwrencher** · 10-08-2013, 06:25 PM

Sorry, I haven't gotten around to adding pics to this thread. Photobucket is being a real PITA lately! Here are some pics of it in KC and just some of it. I'll post up pics from the show as I get them resized.

hgs_notes · 10-09-2013, 07:09 AM

That's no SHOW truck?! It should be hooked up to 1 or more of those other trucks and dragging them around like a waterskier.

watahyahknow · 10-09-2013, 07:33 AM

it might be the fact youre using a little too mush bandwith on photobucket , it could be solved if you oprn up a second accound under a different name and email adress so the load gets shared between the two

mcbassin · 10-09-2013, 08:38 AM

Looking good Ryan!

**Dieselwrencher** · 10-10-2013, 08:40 PM

I stole the wheels off this truck to put on my 95 F-350 and put my old 16.5's on this truck. Now I have to start thinking about building something to store it in for winter as it won't be residing in the shop full time.

The living room isn't big enough?

litew8 · 10-11-2013, 12:35 AM

Sits real nice

watahyahknow · 10-11-2013, 01:15 AM

better make provisions for the smoke when building the storage like a small extractor fan right about where the exaust is or you have to enter the space wearing a boilersuit over time

If I could park a truck in my living room I'd do it and probably be in divorce court.

Smoke, first this thing would have to smoke.

It hazes a little bit but isn't bad.

watahyahknow · 10-11-2013, 04:57 PM

my guess is that will change when it gets colder outside
i know my stock mercedes diesel used to soot up the garage in the wintertime

ryanroo · 10-11-2013, 07:50 PM

those wheels look pretty good man! i do notice the rear bumper looks a little off....

litew8 · 10-11-2013, 09:32 PM

Ryan's got the right idea, don't use the road
