Those Dogs always seem to find their way into the picture!

CONGRATS ON GETTING TO PAGE 2! I like what you did filing in the hole on the cowl. I plan on doing the same thing. I have 2 holes to fill!?! CB antenna maybe?

drjeffdc · 10-04-2010, 05:59 PM

I proberly have set a record for most pics to be at this stage!! Ha Ha de Ha Ha Ha!!!!

madmopar · 10-04-2010, 10:03 PM

pics are what make it worth looking at! I got up your way a couple weeks ago... I got my wheels & tires a little southwest of Clark, MO.

VA72C10 · 10-04-2010, 10:55 PM

Very nice progress so far! Looks great!

drjeffdc · 10-15-2010, 10:39 AM

Got a little primer on some bare spots and Just had to Mock the front end to see if it still fit!!!! Actually just wanted to get it out of my shop.

drjeffdc · 10-15-2010, 10:44 AM

How about we start on that bed Chop!!

drjeffdc · 10-15-2010, 10:51 AM

The first cut is the hardest, Went pretty quick with the cutoff wheel on the grinder. The tape really helped with alignment. One note to self, Blue Tape on a Blue truck is hard to see! Try Green or yellow next time.

drjeffdc · 10-15-2010, 11:30 AM

Crossed my mind for a minute: HUMMM, maybe I should make it longer intead of shorter!!,,,,,,,,........ NNaaaaa!

madmopar · 10-15-2010, 11:53 AM

I always cringe when I see a perfectly good bed being cut up... but it looks like you are doing good work...

drjeffdc · 10-15-2010, 12:08 PM

WE SHALL SEEE!!! Things come apart easy, its the putting back together stuff!

sgaylord · 10-15-2010, 12:57 PM

Good progress

VA72C10 · 10-15-2010, 01:33 PM

Nice progress!!!

**FRENCHBLUE72** · 10-15-2010, 10:17 PM

Nice job so far please tell us you did not use that expanding foam idea???

gopokes · 10-17-2010, 01:04 PM

Bed's looking good!

drjeffdc · 10-18-2010, 10:33 AM

No I didn't use the foam, YET!! Thinkin about using duct tape over the rust holes thou!!!

drjeffdc · 10-18-2010, 10:53 AM

I did get the front half stitched up this weekend. Got 2 sets of those clamps at Harborfreight. They were a life saver. The inside of the bed was actually a little easier, the floor was a little heaver gauge metal.

drjeffdc · 10-18-2010, 10:56 AM

That there is blood! Note to self..... You can cut yo self on dem sharp edges.

drjeffdc · 10-18-2010, 11:05 AM

This took a lot of stitching, not sure this is the best rought to take, Thinkin finding a short bed would be a whole lot easier.

drjeffdc · 10-18-2010, 11:11 AM

Had to set the bed on the short bed frame to cut the back half.

drjeffdc · 10-18-2010, 11:21 AM

getting dark, have to wait for another day to do the back. Kinda looks like it is gonna pop a wheelie any minute this way.

spike38 · 10-18-2010, 11:21 AM

Great work!!

palposity · 10-18-2010, 11:45 AM

Very nice work! That is a TON of welding to do! You did a nice job of it!

brn agn · 10-18-2010, 12:26 PM

Nice work! I am really enjoying this build.

The truck looks like an old altered wheel base dragster.

drjeffdc · 10-18-2010, 01:20 PM

All I need is some whellie bars.
