More pics soon!
Got a fleetside bed that needs a little bit of a patch.
Worked from 7pm-4am today, got a lot done, you'll see!

cletis · 05-07-2012, 07:40 AM

Looks like a real solid truck

EasySteve · 05-07-2012, 03:42 PM

More progress. Got a lot of dents out and smoothed out some rough areas.

Fauxtina idea! Just a spray over to get the feel for a fauxtina, totally doing it!

Polished passenger side

Unpolished driver

So there she is how she sits now.

79gmcclassic · 05-07-2012, 09:11 PM

wow, looks like you got a nice garage with some nice vehicles in it!

cory d · 05-08-2012, 02:46 PM

we mae a big mess last night, tonigth we are going to roll it out of the shop and clean sweep it all up.

trading another member stock hangers for drop hangers.

got it sanded and primed

this is going to be very time consuming, good thing we grabbbed the door for sheet metal.

drop hangers and three leafs removed

tossed the bed on

cut a coil off. springs have 2 coils cut off (previos owner removed one, it hasnt touched the road since 94 judging by the 94 tabs and new 95 tab that came with it, so they were still pretty tall

taped the cab band on just for kicks

cory d · 05-09-2012, 05:09 PM

grabbed a sway bar

cory d · 05-10-2012, 03:53 PM

might not have any more pictures for the next few days but after that we have soem big plans for this thing

got the sway bar on. i dont know how important it wil be on a straight 6 truck but it cant hurt i guess

removed the bed and got the hangers bolted on with new bolts

EasySteve · 05-11-2012, 02:10 AM

Logo!
Had to use paint cuz dont have photoshop.

EasySteve · 05-12-2012, 06:24 PM

Pickin up a parts truck monday.

EasySteve · 05-12-2012, 06:26 PM

Need more sanding and priming.

mooseknuckles · 05-12-2012, 09:06 PM

lookin good.

cletis · 05-12-2012, 10:24 PM

Good pace, and nice work.

cory d · 05-15-2012, 12:27 PM

got the drivers side fuel door filled, next project is replacing the front of the bed on the passengers side.

my first time doing anything sheetmetal with flux core and .035 wire

cory d · 05-18-2012, 05:45 PM

12 hours of work and we might have gotten 4 hours of work done

time to patch up the other side. kinda tricky for people with no sheetmetal experience

and fill the fuel door

redid the drivers side. when the punch a hole for the fuel door it pushed the whole thing in so we cut a larger hole and patched it

cory d · 05-19-2012, 10:17 PM

had a good time at the swap meet, there is still a tailgate, cab band and windsheild not pictured

cory d · 05-23-2012, 05:55 AM

seattle being its stereotypical self

after the ferry ride and picking up the 250

on the way back and not going through seattle because it is home to the nastiest potholes i have ever seen adn with the engine in the bed im not far from hitting the frame

waiting for the other ferry and trying not to drop my camera in the water

on the ferry and getting ready to get off

got her home adn she bleading oil out the rear

thats water under the wrench from cyclinder 2

a little MMO to free up the pistons. i dont have pictures to show it but the cross hatching on the cylinders looks pretty fresh and the piston skirts loook almost new

EasySteve · 05-25-2012, 12:34 AM

I know Cory is gonna laugh.
LOOK AT THAT SIDE PIPE.

Heres the engine as it sits now, just need oil pan gasket.

cory d · 05-25-2012, 12:39 AM

I was thinking about doing a custom exhaust with a 3inch single pipe coming out each side infront of the rear tires on my 80. I thought it would look cool with my 250 lol but I dont know yet. What are your plans with the inline?

cory d · 05-26-2012, 01:08 PM

i think we are just doing a single 2.5" coming out before the drivers side rear tire

the reason work has been slow lately
