Re: My 1958 GMC 100 Stepside Budget Build
Just a quick update. Repaired the lower hinge pocket on drivers door and still working on aligning the front sheet metal and doors. The drivers side lined up pretty well with only a couple of shims but the passenger side is being a little more difficult. Had to adjust the rear of the passenger step down a little with a piece of wood and a hammer. Still needs a little adjusting but looking better.
When I pulled out the hinge pocket for repair it was totally shot so thank goodness for old parts doors.
Found a really good deal so the wife bought me an early birthday gift.
Both doors and hood installed. Really starting to look like a truck now.
Found a really good deal on a complete front disk brake conversion kit from speedway for $259. Other than very poorly written directions it went together easily and fit perfectly. Nice to find a complete kit including everything right down to the rubber brake lines for about the same price I would have spent to put in new bearings in the old hubs and installing new brake components.
