Re: Rustbuket 67 build "Georgia"
I believe that you will need different tie rod adjustment sleeves or inner tie rods. The 73+ outer tie rods are 11/16 and the 67-70 are 5/8 (IIRC). I am using 72 inner tie rods and they are also 11/16. I got the billet aluminum sleeves from ridetech for 50 bucks from Summit. The reason that you cannot use a 73+ inner tie rod is because the stud that goes through the center link is too big I believe. BUT a 71 or 72 fits perfectly in the center link hole as well as has the bigger end that the adjuster screws onto. There are also some bastard tie rod adjusters I think.

Re: Rustbuket 67 build "Georgia"
why didn't you just swap out that entire cab? after i got my frame blasted, there's a few different numbers stamped on it in various places. the frame id is near the power steering and also where the drivers side cab sits, and some other numbers around.

Re: Rustbuket 67 build "Georgia"
Yeah it was crazy, thought I could use the cab but it turned out the floor was way worse than mine since the windows were open and it was used as a dog house for some time.
![]() ![]() Thanks Mike, should get some more done between now and monday. Me too! im no fencer that was a pain. Heading to lowes to finish a couple more honey dos.

Re: Rustbuket 67 build "Georgia"

![]() Well I did buy it so then I was left to decide. After owning 3 others that were similar or slightly less rusty I decided to just fix mine. So to explain in short my reasons are: Stubbornness, lack of availability, and originality. While my cab is rough it does have matching frame vin, cab vin with original rivets, and matching glovebox spid vin. which none of my previous ones had. No monkey business on this one so I thought I should do it justice and save it. I have seen others do much more extensive repairs than I am doing (jezebel!!!!, by sgaylord the legend) I guess the originality is just important to me when it comes to the VINs being originally attached and all matching. Now if someone were to make replacement cabs and the funky rivets were still available then I may consider swapping to a new cab. but swapping mine for a less rusty one that will have similar issues down the road I decided to fix mine. Here are a few vin pics cuz everyone loves pics! Happy 4th ![]()

This truck was fully loaded from the factory! check out these options, can't read some of the letters and numbers but here they are.

That is what it looks like on the hidden layers of original paint and has multiple wrong blues over it, 4??OBA HD REAR SPRING 4P?3HC SM WHEEL CARRIER 4Z?2AA FOAM SEAT 4614AB BLUE VINYL TRIM 4V38AB PAINTED REAR BUMPER 4B98AA SIDE TRIM MOLD EQ 4C42??

Re: Rustbuket 67 build "Georgia"
I understand your reasoning. Being particular and having a passion is the way to get these classics built.
Once I rivet my vin plate back on, I'm going to use my drimel tool and grind the rivet head to look original. Posted via Mobile Device

Re: Rustbuket 67 build "Georgia"
if you take your frame to the blaster on a weekday, swing by my shop at noon and pick me up and i'll go over there with you, it's only just down the road. i only met him once but i told him about your wanting to blast your frame also. he knows i'm with tp machine, tp's been using them for 15+ yrs, so hopefully he'll speed it up for you.

Re: Rustbuket 67 build "Georgia"
My little helper and I removed the seat
![]() I removed everything attached to the cab so it is ready to remove from the frame. I need to go shopping for some dolly wheels and figure out what to make to set the cab on. still thinking about what to do there.

Re: Rustbuket 67 build "Georgia"
And a preview of the pass side rust that will need the same treatment as the driver side.

Re: Rustbuket 67 build "Georgia"
It is way too hot so I am going to have to take another shower and take the girls out for dinner. Hopefully do a little more this evening.

Re: Rustbuket 67 build "Georgia"
Thanks we did have some fun, family is the best!
After mowing the yard today I got the wire wheel on the old grinder and did some investigating on the donor roof. The top side looks great with zero rust but the inner will need a patch at least but I will likely just buy the inner skin repair panel and that way I can remove the old inner skin and coat the inside with POR15 to stop this horrid design that promotes self disintegration. Too hot to get much more done today. Here are the pics...

Re: Rustbuket 67 build "Georgia"
Hey dude now would be a great time to really quiet the truck down with some sound deadener in the roof. Thats what I am planning on doing to mine when I take the skin off. They say that a lot of your sound and most of your heat comes through the ceiling. Check out this link if you are interested:
http://www.sounddeadenershowdown.com/products/cld Even if you were feeling cheap I think that some of these tiles would do wonders. And I figured up how many you need and its only about 30 bucks for them. I am going to do the whole shebang on mine and put tiles plus the MLV plus the closed cell foam in my roof because I drive a Ford (which has the best AC in the world IMO) and wont be satisfied unless it is a virtual refrigorator in the 72 also. P.S. donor roof skin looks AMAZING!!!

Re: Rustbuket 67 build "Georgia"
i cut the innner roof skin out today to take that piece of wax covered cardboard out and fix a couple of rust holes on my roof seam . im throwing some dynamat in this one. you're right about self destructive. im putting in a headliner so i may just cut the center of the inner skin out so it doesn't trap moisture like the factory design.
