Re: Brave or crazy? crewcab build
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.

Re: Brave or crazy? crewcab build
I figured it was probably a joke because I remember you buying a donor frame I thought.

Re: Brave or crazy? crewcab build
You could put a 'T' bucket bed on it (with Chevy for logo, of course).

Re: Brave or crazy? crewcab build
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.

Re: Brave or crazy? crewcab build
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! |

Re: Brave or crazy? crewcab build
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?

Re: Brave or crazy? crewcab build
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. |
