Can't go wrong with either of those, but I would do the corvette blue with a white insert in the molding...

198plus · 07-06-2009, 07:26 PM

Bought me a new 400 Trans........Should be a pretty good trans

It's built right with several HP tricks, Including:
Dual Fed Direct Clutches (greatly increases torque capacity in high gear)
Modified pump (frees up HP/saves crankshaft thrust bearing)
Manual/Auto valve body (hold/downshift 1st or 2nd at any RPM)
HD front band
Rollerized case bearing
New bushings
New Modulator
Raybestos/Borg-Warner frictions throughout.
Deep Pan w/magnet
Hi-Flow brass filter

Alan, how are you going to fix the mild rust there? Just curious. Are you going to trim out the rust and patch in a new lip?

ruffrida2005 · 07-06-2009, 08:18 PM

I think the holes since right in the middle and there little, maybe license plate. dents dont look too bad. Nothing a little filler and hammers can fix!

Hey lookin good as usual

Alan's Classic · 07-07-2009, 09:11 PM

I'm a scrounger if ya'll haven't realized that yet. I started off by trying to find some metal here in town, good luck. Then remembered there is Ingrams truck bodys here in town. They didn't have any metal light enough for me, but said I could dig threw the dumpster. So I went dumpster diving and brought this home.

Worked on the LT bedside only, patching rust and pulling dents. I had a hard time getting the pull pins to stick. I was using an extension cord so I eliminated the cord and it worked better, but still had some trouble.

Didn't really want to go up this high, but the metal was pretty thin from corrosion. I felt better by eliminating it.

*THanks Alan for the showing me that part. A guy at the shop was going to do my inner and out rockers for 150.00. Does that sound way out of line?

Looks slick as a bottom.

What did you use for the replacement lip, and how did you make the holes? I have to replace the entire length of mine on both sides and need all the help I can get

Thanks Joe, I remember those are available. I'll have to use them on my bed, but 198 only has a couple areas of concern.

*Thats for one side, He's pretty good. I dont think he is your caliber. But i would feel okay with his work. *

*Since the truck is at Dad's, he has a 40 year fab/welder coming over to look at it. They want to replace the entire cab floor. Alan what are your thoughts on that?

You guys crack me up.

I slept near a crack last night and got a stiff neck.

Alan's Classic · 07-07-2009, 10:39 PM

If it smells like fish it's a dish.
If it smells like cologne leave it alone.

Strodder · 07-07-2009, 10:40 PM

Back on subject. Allan, nice progress

Thanks Dennis

Straightened the upper rail

Here's a little tip. If you mud up to a joint put some tape over the joint and right on the edge to keep it out of the crack.

Wiped the whole thing

Sanded with air tools

Then hand blocked with 80

Blocked with 180 tonight.
