Thanks for checkin John! I threw my stands on there and it looks like there's only one way they'll bolt up??? There are extra holes in the frame rails and the x-member but there ain't no way I could jockey my stands to fit in a different set. Must be different stands for different applications??? I guess that's not such a big deal if I don't have the right stands. I just don't wanna move the bell x-member if I don't have to. What's the "z bar" you're talking about? I don't recall anything like that on mine. Glad to hear you're good with the bell starter too. I'm thinking I'll just stick with what I've got. What about the bell dust cover? That fit up well for you?

Thanks Bomp! I envy your ambition in stretching a truck cab!

I still have a bit to do, but not all that much. Finished the passenger door tonight and got a good start on the driver's. It's pretty clean so I expect to have that done in an hour or two. Fenders are near perfect with only a very small spot of rot on the passenger's down by the bumper. Hood is PERFECT except I gotta detail the underside. Cowl and grille are also perfect and went to the blaster's so that's really about it with respect to bodywork. I still have a heap of little bits to strip tho. If I had only made my own blast box!!! Should be busy this weekend, like I'm killin snakes!

Re: My '67 Fleetside C10 renew

Thanks again John! I'm with ya now on the z-bar. I'm trying to think back as to what mine looks like and how it attached to the ol' 292 block..... Can't be too hard to find if I need a different one for the small block.

Wifey has Facebook and I'll get her to pull up your page. Sure its real grey hair and not primered?

Re: My '67 Fleetside C10 renew

More snake killin today, but one bit back! Blaster called today done . Stuff looks sweet but haulin a$$ home one inner decided to ditch the Crummy! Out the back at 50mph - damn! I thought it'd be thrashed but I can bring it back.

Why does everything take longer than you'd think?? That "good" door needed more work than I thought. The dimples or whatever you call them, where the flat-head door latch screws go were all pulled out. Had to weld, grind, dremel them back into shape. One of the door panel square-nut thingys was missing so I ground a nut down to fit and welded that in, found a small rot-hole in the corner, bla-bla-bla I'm three+ hours in and still prolly have two to go. Pulled that fender out that I thought had a "tiny" spot of rot. It's really a good chunk of the lower front corner under the battery thats kinda crusty. Prolly 8hrs is all! I got a good 5hrs in tonight and after chow just had to stop and clean up. All the tools wiped and away, cords and hoses wound up, benches swept and a broom down! I'll sleep better tonight.

Tomorrow we're building the tent so I can primer and paint the black stuff. That'd be rad support, inners, hinges, a few other small items and WHEELS!!!. Boy will take them to school to mount and balance them BFGs if they're not rotten yet!

Check back tomorrow dudes - more snakes to kill!

Re: My '67 Fleetside C10 renew

Yay! Sorta cleaned up. This pickup is taking up my whole shop and then some. Tried like h-e-l-l to take a wide-angle, but can't caputure the whole mess in one shot. I can't imagine the tent taking up much space for the whole winter!!

Thanks man! Once this project is wrapped up I've got some great things in store for my man cave. Building lean-to's on both sides outside with half of one enclosed. That'll get the bikes, mowers, etc... outta there. Nice steel table for welding and such, more cabinets, lighting and a crane!

Seems like there's always something going on in there in addition to the truck. It don't take long and $hit is scattered. Drives me when it gets that way.

You're not working this weekend? Gonna get any truck time?

Re: My '67 Fleetside C10 renew

Johnny is officially a painter, but things could have gone better!

Things I learned today....

1) Spraying grey primer over sand blasted parts with less than perfect light and less than perfect eyes SUCKS. Some contrast would've helped this ol' boy.
2) Spraying parts that you've hung by wire from the rafters SUCKS. They spin, you dance around shooting at the dry spots and miss, you hold them with your hand and screw up what you've shot while you shoot yourself in the arm....
3) Epoxy primer is like effin SPRAY GLUE!
4) Some things from Harbor Freight are OK while others SUCK. The little baby regulator I bought to hang off my gun was awful, but the gun itself was pretty sweet. Threw on a different regulator that I already had and things smoothed WAY out.
5) Those rubber gloves that I have tons of and hate to wear cuz my hands sweat.....WEAR THEM! My hands are NASTY and I've scrubbed the bugeezus out of them. I'll be sanding them off in the shower tomorrow with that grinding rock / sharpening stone Wifey has in there.
6) My air compressor(s) will work sweet. I have two in parallel with the pressure switches set for a lead/lag arrangement and the backup never even kicked on. I installed a big filter/regulator at the tanks that caught a bunch of water, but there was still moisture at the end of my line. I used an inline filter/separator at the gun, so hopefully not much made it through.
7) My shop-vac ventilation system kicked a$$ but I bet the neighbor hates it. It's loud as all get-out and I had her full-whack from about 3:00 til 10:00.
8) This crap is MESSY!!! One drop smears a long damn ways. Way worse than oil.

The epoxy went down super slick! I was thinking I was a pro, THEN I mixed the color. Major orange peel boys!!!! I think the $hit was too thick but wasn't sure if I could reduce it with laquer thinner???? It's a single stage urethane that came with just the color and a hardener??? I fiddle phuked with the air pressure and spray pattern / intensity and got OK results, but I'm still effin bummed. Some pieces came out nice while others I hate (like the damn wheels!!!). There's NO WAY I'll spray Butternut on the body panels if I can't get this sorted out. Overall I'm stoked and pissed......... This crap is expensive to experiment with and winter is coming!!!

Re: My '67 Fleetside C10 renew

Forgot number 9!!!!

9) When you make them little S-hooks out of nails to hang your spinny parts from the wires, make SURE they're S's and NOT Z's. Otherwise, while you're pretty little parts are spinning circles cuz you are trying to spray them they will slip off the little end of the nail and fall to the ground. F-bomb, touch the wet paint, try to "smooth" it out with your BARE finger, looks like H-E-L-L.... Get the picture?

Just went out for a peek and to stoke the fire. Been about an hour since spray and things flattened out pretty good, but still damn orange peel. Not as bad as the wet pic. I'll put up more tomorrow cuz its now time to hit the sack. Better leave the pants in the laundry room or we'll wake up high. Peeeeewheeeeeew!!

Re: My '67 Fleetside C10 renew

Haaaaahaaaaaa! BTDT! Welcome to the club and congratulations on stepping Over, dear brother. I dont do NUTHIN without my gloves. Epoxy is like glue, but it's great when it's dry. The trick is not to psych yourself out. Wait till you shoot that yellow, your contrast goes away and you have to take it on faith that youre actually shooting what you think you are! Think slow, don't hurry. I have done everything you just posted multiple times, so don't sweat it. Wait till you Wetsand dirt out of your base coat with the Bud Light you're drinking! Looks good, keep it up!

Re: My '67 Fleetside C10 renew

I would also recommend base clear paint on the nice parts. I have nO luck a tall with single stage. Also please please reconsider the shop vac vent. One spark and it's way bad juju. Stop by a hvac place and ask about a used squirrel cage. Preferably with the motor out of the path of the airflow.

Re: My '67 Fleetside C10 renew

Hmmmm... the "flash back" is a scary thought. Already had a doozey BBQ accident this summer!

BTDT???? Is this a painter's acronym for what I'm doing wrong?

Reall think I'd do better with the BC/CC huh? I've never done any color sanding or buffing and thought the SS would mean shoot it and it's done. If it's all orange peely tho......

I popped in there this morning for a quick peek and the stuff looks WAY better. It did flatten out pretty good.

Thanks for the comments and advice!
