Wow! You are making fast progress, keep up the work.

oldyellowssun · 07-03-2016, 09:13 PM

This weekend we worked on the driver door, inner door bottom welded in, skin on, and fitted the door and fender.

oldyellowssun · 07-07-2016, 09:36 PM

We finished up the body work on the passenger side door jam. I was able to take out the gas tank and welded up the gas tank hole.

Yeah, that would be a good fit for this truck since it was originally used by Georgia Power to read meters.

oldyellowssun · 07-16-2016, 09:28 PM

This past week we worked on the driver side floor board.

rsgt · 07-16-2016, 10:26 PM

Good progress!

NuttDeep · 07-18-2016, 04:17 PM

Will Be watching this one!

oldyellowssun · 07-19-2016, 01:19 PM

Here are some pictures of the driver side floor board that I didn't post the other night.

oldyellowssun · 07-19-2016, 01:21 PM

We finished up the door jam on the driver side and primed it.

swamp rat · 07-20-2016, 09:14 PM

Got a question, when you rolled the skin over on the door shell did you roll the edges right up against the lip of the shell? I noticed my door the skin fold is wider than the shell edges so i hesitated to try a re-skin. any tips appreciated!

oldyellowssun · 08-14-2016, 08:38 PM

Here is a picture of what our door jam looked like after we put the door bottom and skin on.

oldyellowssun · 08-14-2016, 08:41 PM

After vacation and back to school we finally had time to work on the truck. Welded and smoothed the seams on the windshield frame, then we started welding in the floor pan, and getting the rocker to fit.

oldyellowssun · 08-14-2016, 09:39 PM

Here is the outer rocker panel

Bubba4spd · 08-15-2016, 01:34 PM

Yellowsun it's looking really good! I know your excited. Will you be staying with the original 4 speed?

68Gold/white · 08-15-2016, 02:13 PM

We are on the fence about the 6 cylinder and 4 speed (Yellowsun still has to learn to drive a straight shift). Right now we are concentrating on the body.

oldyellowssun · 08-21-2016, 08:44 PM

This weekend I stripped the passenger bed side, and finished up welding the floor pan and the rocker.

**IronCanine** · 08-24-2016, 12:33 PM

Real progress...looks good.

OLDYELLOW · 09-03-2016, 09:04 AM

HAPPY BIRTHDAY YELLOWSUN!! That gives you one year to get the truck finished, so get off your a.. and get it done.

**DeadheadNM** · 09-03-2016, 09:56 AM

Happy bday!

How well did your replacement sheetmetal fit?

Thanks Pete! So far for the money, the door skins fit good. There's nothing that a little cutting and welding won't fix.

oldyellowssun · 09-03-2016, 11:47 AM

I got the passenger side quarter panel stripped then washed with 3 parts water and 1 part vinegar. Then we sprayed some black epoxy primer on it.

rsgt · 09-03-2016, 12:50 PM

what brand of door bottoms did you use? How was the fit? Thanks
