The cowl was not as hard as I thought it was going to be but im glad I did it
because it was worse on the inside.

I really hope you're joking on the ultra short bed....................

Yea the truth is I got tired of walking around the frame and banging my leg on the home made hitch. So i thought since I am not going to use that part of the frame might as well get it out of the way. I am going to run a stock size short bed.

I figured it was probably a joke because I remember you buying a donor frame I thought.

Nice progress, I like the effort. Keep up the good work

ThreeQtr · 02-20-2013, 09:23 AM

You could put a 'T' bucket bed on it (with Chevy for logo, of course).

Or just put a trunk box back there and call it done.

Nice patch work, and I like the dash plan.

I like that trunk idea it would cut down on bodywork!

Thanks, hope to get cowl wraped up soon.

Cool project! I love my 'burb but having the ability to tow a fifth wheel and have two rows of seats is pretty sweet. Nice work on the roof. My only knock with crewcab builds is when people dont get the roof or rear door right and ruin a nice sub. You have done an excellent job of getting both right. Keep up the good work.

Thanks, and I agree with you on the roof and door thing a square rear door just dosent look right.

Thanks Guys, I picked up the other patch panels I needed today
normal stuff this time like inner and outer rockers! I might get started on that
stuff this weekend.

oilyrag80 · 03-03-2013, 08:34 PM

Here is some not so exciting progress, I stripped my new to me ac dash
and shot some epoxy on it inside and out. Then installed it went pretty smooth. Then I was able to get rocker all cut out and ready for replacment.
Its amazing how much stuff comes out of these rockers!

americanthunder · 03-07-2013, 04:44 PM

Everything looks fantastic. Cant wait to see whats next!

**Dieselwrencher** · 03-07-2013, 05:30 PM

Awesome work you're doing! Rust repair has got to be one of the dirtiest jobs of restoring anything.

There's a fun side to restoring/building these old rigs?

X2 on this statement. I know how dang time consuming and frustrating this part of the build can be.

Keep up the hard work.

oilyrag80 · 03-08-2013, 08:40 PM

I went and picked up my wheels from the chrome shop today.
I did not have them chromed I had them dechromed only thing is their
strip tank was not big enough to fit the 22 inch wheel.
So they had to rotate the wheel and were not able to completly
remove the chrome from the center. Not a big deal just more work for me.

**N2TRUX** · 03-08-2013, 12:04 PM

Im on board for this run away train.
