Re: Upside down, back to front, long low 63 fleet
Thanks for coming by and thanks for the positive vibes.
Gotta say the decision to shorten wasnt an easy one, I really wanted a long.
Until I actually got my hands on this truck I had never seen one up close.
Its BIG. Too big for my available space, both for storage and workspace.
A few random odd jobs while waiting for some rust repair panels to arrive.
I bought some "inner rocker " panels, absolutely useless
Bought a different type from another supplier, even more useless.
Fair dinkum if anyone can make these actually work, they are capable of making something out of flat sheet, why bother buying this junk.
Was trying to avoid buying outer floor sections.
These are 3" too long for the post office so end up costing 3 times their value in shipping.
So I bit the bullet and ordered some.
3 months later theyre totally lost somewhere.
Ordered again from Summit this time, more expensive but they arrived in 2 weeks. Next week original order turned up. So I'm over $500 into these panels now.
So in the meantime working on heater, stripped, needs new core, easy to get.
Hooked up parking brake cables, had to shorten due to chassis cut, got some swaged connectors from a yacht rigging supply guy.
Also got all the top end bits on the motor,
