Re: Project Family Hauler
The only one I saw this last June was this one. I was probably working during the Kingsman show.

Re: Project Family Hauler
Very nice work! I was thinking on the front door body line not matching up when using it for a rear door. My solution was to maybe cut up a long bed bed side to try to use as an outer skin. IDK if it'll work or not? Maybe I'll get to my crew cab project this year. It's looking very unlikely though. I have to get the Longhorn drivable first. Haha By the way, I hope you and your family have a Very Merry Christmas!!!!!

Re: Project Family Hauler
After all my welding and grinding I found my new garage needed some airflow. The smoke and dust were landing on everything so I put a fan in the ceiling. It vents out the roof. Now when I recoup from Christmas I will get more gas and wire for my welder and will see how much the fan helps.

Re: Project Family Hauler
I'm back. Been working on the other truck so I had a break.
Replaced all my old braided fuel line, it was 14 years old and my garage smelled like gas all the time. Plumbed it for a return style system. Used teflon lined braided line this time with steel hardline in the frame. Much easier to work with. This should fix my vapor locking problem too. Took some boards out of my bed to access the fuel line. Then put the bed wood back together. Then I get back to the suburban. Painted inside before welding patch panel. Patch welded in and smoothed. Also replaced the door skin again. Did a little massaging of the latch and the door closes with just a click now. Happier with the door skin now. It fits the curve better, the top is even with the inside and there is no bulge in the middle. Started setting the door gaps. Bottom door gap is 1/8" Rear door gap still needs some work. But getting closer.

Re: Project Family Hauler
Well I made progress this weekend. (well a few other weekends too). Got most of the rough bodywork taken care of and sprayed some primer surfacer on the doors to see how they look.

Re: Project Family Hauler
I did get it turned around in the garage. Pretty easy when it's on roller skates.
I am making a patch panel list for the rainy season. Posted via Mobile Device

Re: Project Family Hauler
Your truck is a lot further down the hill than mine. Yours can drive.

Re: Project Family Hauler
Drilled out the spot welds on the passenger side rockers. Lots of rust inside

Re: Project Family Hauler
The B pillar isn't connected at the bottom. Just need to repair a little rust.
