Re: Finally my own build thread!
Well I am STOKED!!!!! I just picked up a bunch of new sheetmetal from goodmark. I picked up new 67 fenders, rad. support, doors, fleetside bedsides, front bed panel, and new inner rocker panels. Then when i got home i found a set of new rocker panels, new door hinges, all new door locks and latches. Then coming tuesday i have a new 67 hood, rear roll pan coming. So all i have left to buy is the tailgate which i can wait on. They were out of stock. Anyways i just had to share and in a few weeks (i have to work out of town next week then the following week is vacation time) i am going to do a complete sheetmetal mock up to see what the truck will look like. I can't resist. I will definately post pics though.
Josh

Re: Finally my own build thread!
Well i finally got the bed some what adjusted. It took alot of notching the bed to fit but she fits nice and snug. The best part is that i don't think i am going to have to shorten my rear end. I thought i was going to have to but i was measuring the wrong thing. I felt stupid

Your truck looks great! I wonder how hard it would be to get a frame like that in Canada?

Re: Finally my own build thread!
The door fit good. My driver side door fit really nice but the passenger side door needed a little adjustment but i got everything to line up pretty darn good and it was only a mock up. I would buy them again and it is sweet having new doors with no rust anywhere

Re: Finally my own build thread!
abadsvt, speaking of fit, how did you like those front fender[s]? I bought one for the right side and it took longer to make it right than it would have to fix my old one I think. The worst part was the curve to the side of the headlight [the side brow?], anyway it was creased there and had to be massaged. Plus I had to do some work to make the grille match to the fender properly.

Re: Finally my own build thread!
Well i finally started replacing the rockerpanels and the more i took off the more i found. I found alot of rust along both cab corners and behind the rockers. Not my idea of fun but i got everything cut out and replaced with new sheetmetal. It took me a while because i wanted everything nice and tight and wanted to keep the proper door gap between the door and rocker. Here is some pics of driver side that i got replaced. Forgot to take some pics of the lower cab corners that i replaced but i did it correct. I promise! Next weekend i will hopefully get passenger side one done.

Re: Finally my own build thread!
i dont know for sure, but i thought you were suppose to use the other kind of shockwaves if you wanted to do a lever/cantilever setup??? i think that the sleeve types can't hold that much weight. i may be wrong. your truck looks wicked good. you did some fantastic work. what ratio did you make your lever triangle thingys??
