Re: My Daughters First Truck
Got some work done tonight. we started cutting the floor out and the lower pilars cut out. Did some test fitting before we do the final trimming. learning some new stuff and keeping my fingers crossed as I cut.

Re: My Daughters First Truck
Nice! I would suggest welding in a bar Inbetween the door jams. It's obviously too late for this side but it helps to keep everything lined up. Once you cut the floor you lose all the integrity and the whole structure moves around. I only figured this out after I did one of my sides, I got it to line back up fairly good but its much easier if you weld in some braces. Once you weld the floor in then you just cut the braces back out. Hope that helps!

Re: My Daughters First Truck
Looks good guys. When Jed pulled his seat today I was relieved that the floor had 0% rust. We will probably need your help when he is ready to do rockers though.

Re: My Daughters First Truck
I don't normally wander out of the '47-'59 zone, but somehow I stumbled upon this thread. I'm 18 and must say it is absolutely AWESOME to see another teenager who is interested in old GM iron. I live in the Memphis area, currently rebuilding a '56 stepside. Too cool!!!!

Re: My Daughters First Truck
Glad you're back 4dranch! I've been watching this tread since I'm 18 and trying to find money to build, and gain the knowledge throughout the process. It motivates me to keep going knowing that other kids out there are doing the same. Keep it up!

Re: My Daughters First Truck
Very Nice David!! I was thinking about you the other day. Hadn't seen any post in a while. Then I checked your profile and saw that you were on that day.
