patiently waiting for some TLC!

dubie · 03-12-2004, 05:10 PM

Looking good Jim. What are the plans for all this? Are you making a 4x4 long stepside?

Dean · 03-12-2004, 05:14 PM

You have been busy! A growing pile of scrap I see. I told ya the sheetmetal was held together by rust...lol Does the rest of the frame look ok? I'm sure you have found some closer, but you are welcome to come and cut those bed pad off this 70 frame I have here. Have you found any other problems with it? I saw you had to put rotors on it? I hope it all comes together to make a great truck for you.

That 70 looks jealous of his cousin there.

**JIMs70GMC** · 03-13-2004, 11:36 PM

Actually have not changed the rotors yet. They actually felt pretty good stopping so I left them alone for now. Got the cab off.

**JIMs70GMC** · 03-13-2004, 11:38 PM

New cab on! Thanks Richard Morgan for helping. Slid the cab on some wood from the 2wd to my chassis. Had the floor cut for the high hump.

**JIMs70GMC** · 03-13-2004, 11:40 PM

Tim, It's going to be a long step w/ wood floor and 4" lift w/ 35s.

FRENCHBLUE72 · 03-13-2004, 11:49 PM

RICHARD MORGAN · 03-14-2004, 03:48 PM

Dean · 03-15-2004, 08:50 AM

I like it!! You will pass me up if I don't get moving on the last few things to finish mine. I like the color there too...

71 looking on;

Dean · 03-16-2004, 05:54 PM

That is a cool pic with the 71 looking on. It is getting a heartbeat again. Amazing what we do on these trucks. That being the third cab on that chassis.

My very first k20 which I no longer own needs its third cab also. Isn't the rust belt great? Mine hibernate to stay away from the Morton salt...lol

Did the engine/trans/transfer case all look ok when you got the sheetmetal off?

RICHARD MORGAN · 03-16-2004, 07:19 PM

THAT GUY NEVER CAME BACK TO PICK UP ALL THE OLD SCRAPS AND THE CAB? HOW DID YOU LOAD UP THE OLD CAB? YOU SHOULD HAVE CALLED ME IF YOU NEEDED SOME HELP.

**JIMs70GMC** · 03-16-2004, 08:26 PM

Dean it sure did. I cleaned it up a little. It's getting there. Have to figure out what he did to the clutch linkage. I'm getting it though, he welded a piece to it and also bent it to get it to work with the body lift. I'm going to test the electrical tomorrow after work.

Richard, it was easy I backed into the ditch and literally rolled the cab into the back of the truck. A neighbor stopped and helped. The old man never showed up and did not return my calls, his loss! I'll tell you those super swampers did great coming out of the ditch, 4lo and 1st gear tires only spinned about 1/2 rotation and I was out. And you seen my ditch, imagine it is full of water now.

**Canadian694x4** · 03-17-2004, 04:12 PM

man that's sweet...moving right along...

MrGoodpliers · 03-18-2004, 10:02 AM

Yo, man! How 'bout some of those trim clips!?!
