Re: Project Vitamin C-10
I'm sure they will sell you one. LOL It's good but not great. I couldn't shear the metal I made this piece out of. If I had it more secure to the table then I might be able to shear it. It weighs about 300# and don't want it to tip.
Thanks for subscribing and thanks for the comments. I hope to get more done soon. I've got a couple fires I got to put out first.

Re: Project Vitamin C-10
Any progress on the '65? Hopefully after the kids go back to school I can get back on mine.

Re: Project Vitamin C-10
No, due too some poor decisions on my part I haven't been able to work on it. I could of had the bed almost done by now if it wasn't for other things that need to be done. Maybe the misery will end soon. Thanks for asking!!

It's nice to see something getting done. I might start working on the hood and get it done so I can have somemore floor space.

Re: Project Vitamin C-10
One step at a time.
HAHA I got bored at work and the only thing I had there to work on in my spare time was the 4Runner. I decided to do a step by step on how to make a patch panel with only a few hand tools and a welder. It might help someone out. First step find what you want to cut out. And mark what you want to cut out. I used an old tailgate for some scrap metal and laid it out. I over sized the pattern for trimming. First set of bends was made with a vise and body hammer as well as the rest of the bends. I made some relief cuts to make the compound curve. The original piece is behind it. I clamped it in place a little at a time to form the curves. Don't distort the original panel. You will end up with a bad patch. I tacked the cuts to hold it's shape then removed the rusty piece and finished welding. Ground the welds down and here is the patch. Trimmed to fit and tacked in place. I did clean up the inner structure on the truck prior to install 2 more pics coming..........

Re: Project Vitamin C-10
Thanks, Allen, for the patch panel detailed pics; awesome as usual. What is the name of the material you are using for filler?

Re: Project Vitamin C-10
In our shop it's not a matter of getting jacked, but easy to identify when someone needs to borrow some. It also makes them easy to see in dark places.

Re: Project Vitamin C-10
Ronnie (198plus) is getting ready to bring his cab to me in a couple of days so I tried to find something I could knock out pretty quick on my truck, so I drug my hood out to work on it and it is worse than I remember from a year ago. The reinforcements on the front and rear are ate up with cancer.
The shell is in pretty good shape. Just a slight depressed area towards the back of the "V" rib. There are some dents but nothing major. I want to replace the front and rear reinforcements with some good ones that I have taken out of some other hoods. But first I need to build a crib of some sort to support the hood. Once I remove the reinforcements it will fold up like a pretzel. I'm trying to figure out the best and easiest way to support it. I'd like to build it out of wood. I'm thinking of using plywood and cut out ribs to match the profile of the hood and wrap with foam. The thing is I don't have any wood and by the time I go to the store it will be a wasted day. I also need to get the reinforcements blasted. If I had a bigger compressor I could do it at home. But I don't. So here I sit trying to think of something else to work on. I've got a thinking problem. LOL BTW still looking for my other (passenger) vent window frame that I painted last year.

Re: Project Vitamin C-10
I am trying to find parts for my tilt today. Dang I know I hand them just the other day....well 6 months or so ago. I know if I buy new pieces, I'll find it the minute the order ships.
Good Luck on your find Alan. Can't wait to see you tackle the hood.

After a little thinking time I thought why not use the old hood shell to support the hood that I'm working on. I figured both of them together would support each other. It seemed to work out pretty good. The old shell for support I drilled the spot welds and busted them loose with a air hammer very carefully. Then use a block of wood and 3 pound hammer to knock it out of the folded over area. I then took a wide screw driver and opened the flange up that I knocked it out of so I could slide the new one back in. I put the new one in temporarily so I could see how it was going to act. It worked out pretty well. Then it was one to patching the sides of the hood. I used some old cowl extensions I had left over. They have the perfect contour for the hood. One side I laid the piece I cut out of the hood for a pattern. Then tacked it in. I had to be carefull not to weld the reinforcement in place with my tacks, since it will be coming back out later for blasting, prime and paint. The other side of the hood I had to reverse the way I made the pattern. I cut the new piece larger then used it as a pattern then clamped in place and made my cut on the hood. This is where it is at now. I will be removing the reinforcement and cleaning up my welds on the inside. Then I will paint the inside of the hood and the reinforcements then put the reinforcement back in. Yes when I weld it back in I will have some burnt areas from welding, but at least there will be some paint in the areas that can't be seen and impossible to get paint on. I will repair the burnt areas when I repaint the inside of the hood.

I really like what you've done with the truck. I wish I could that kind of body work, I guess I need to get me some more tools.

I'm still working on the hood some. I took vacation this week and didn't even go out in the shop Monday and Tuesday. I did go out today and helped Shannon on his cab. Made some progress on the hood, but nothing worth taking pics of. Check out Shannon's build for some good progress pics.
