Re: Dutch '59 Fleetside Longbed

Nice view this morning, standing with his little nephew (1966 Dodge 200):



Transmission is still okay, didn't drive it yet but it sounds good and it still shifts

Had some chassis issues that must be done, first welding the front crossmember









As you can see, my upside down weldingskills are not up to date, but who cares, this is going to be deleted afterall

Next the removal of the two pieces of the gearbox crossmember, leftside I had help from my buddy the Grinder, all went wel, except for grinding in a brakeline.
No problem, just make a new one!
Right side went of with a drill, didn't know the rivets were made from such a soft metal.

Left side:


Right side:


Right side drilled:


And try to make it old look (to fool the officer ) Paint is still wet...


Whats left of the gearbox crossmember, I had to take it out for the Dutch title, the officers may say it is a damage to the chassis...now it isn't anymore



I also took the driverside door out, for repair of the hinge.
Gonna tackle that Friday.



All in all a wonderfull day in Truckland!!
