Re: ** YOUNG FRANKENSTEIN** The truck Chevrolet should have built.

Working on the gas filler tube. I am using the burb filler tube to snake through the body and connect to my rubber hose leading to my tank. This way I keep the factory look gas cap location, but don't have the tank (and fumes) inside the cab with me.
I also had to kick up the floor to clear the tank. I hope I measured right and don't have to do this again.

Battery powered sawzall really makes nice straight cuts. Air grinder with cutoff wheel works nice too for finesse places.
All of the extra parts are going to rebuild other trucks, so please don't hate me.

No, 2 suburban bodies with doors and very little rust. Both are very uncommon around our area.

[QUOTE=jbclassix;4315229]I just realized, I owe you!

I was wondering when you were gonna catch that!
I knew I was about to do that to mine, it was reassuring to see I wasn't the only crazy one.

I'm glad you have been leading us on. I was feeling lazy reading all your progress in such a short time. I haven't touched mine for over a month. Guess I need a better shop for winter time.

Re: ** YOUNG FRANKENSTEIN** The truck Chevrolet should have built.

Here is the last of the work done before the summer. I didn't bother taking many pics of the blocking and sanding, too boring.

These cab corners fit terribly. I found some really nice ones at The Truck Shop in California this summer and will be replacing them.

Re: ** YOUNG FRANKENSTEIN** The truck Chevrolet should have built.

Very nice! that didn't take long at all. Is that epoxy primer? I heard it's hard to block out after it hardens. Is that true or just matter of keeping sharp paper to sand with?

Re: ** YOUNG FRANKENSTEIN** The truck Chevrolet should have built.

Drew, Its nice to see your build finally. I haven't been too active here and I just read through the whole thing. I am impressed with your progress and look forward to keeping up with it. On my project. While I've gotten the motor and tranny rebuilt I have yet to hook them up. Your doing enough work for both of us so keep it up. Good luck. Chuck.

So you're done teasing us now? Everything that follows now is what your really doing? Here I just thought you were crazy about working on your truck.

The bad cab corners are the ones with red or blue stickers. See how the corner is not actually 90 degrees on the lower one compared to the good upper one?

Re: ** YOUNG FRANKENSTEIN** The truck Chevrolet should have built.

Time now: Thanksgiving night, now we are current.

Remember in the first post the green 70 model we drove back from California down Route 66? -- Time to tear into that part of the project!
It was a long bed, but I want a short bed, time to reread Rokcrln's write up on how to convert a long to short.
I was so worried that I was wrong about how pristine the green bed was, all fears were laid to rest when I cut her open and found zero bondo and only VERY light surface rust in a few places.
