I fill the hole with greese and push the alingment tool or something very close in diameter in there and the greese forces it out, or you could do it the easy way and get a puller, but I like to make a mess!

BTW that Blazer looks like one I've seen here in AZ before?!

glimmertwin01 · 07-06-2009, 09:32 PM

got some work dont finally did some plug welding and
stripped the cab
before ..... gotta love chemical strippers what a buzz from methylene chloride

msgross · 07-06-2009, 09:36 PM

Here was my technique... just found a bolt the right size and it pulled it right out with ease...

I have heard of the grease trick as well..

glimmertwin01 · 07-06-2009, 09:37 PM

and now the back n roof stripped where i need to do dent filling

glimmertwin01 · 07-06-2009, 09:39 PM

cool mike u musta posted when i was doing my second post....LOL illlook it over thanks

70rs/ss · 07-07-2009, 12:35 PM

Yeah that aircraft stripper will make light work of paint! I did an Elco a few years back and used that stuff to strip to the bare metal, the WHOLE thing, yeah the laquer based paints didn't fare well in the AZ sun and heat it was cracked and looked like a road map!!

Looking good man keep up the work!

glimmertwin01 · 07-14-2009, 07:59 PM

have not done much this past week..but i have an excuse....

Excuse!>>>> my little one couldnt cut the mustard any more

msgross · 07-15-2009, 06:22 PM

glimmertwin01 · 07-15-2009, 06:28 PM

it runs everything but my IR D/A..it needs 15CFM this thing puts out 13..oh well... everything else runs great..... the DA does work better than it did... but still compared to 6.5 CFM ill take it

msgross · 07-15-2009, 07:59 PM

where did you buy it? how much $?

glimmertwin01 · 07-16-2009, 06:03 AM

$275 from a fella on Craigslist...he was moving..he had it in his basement.. the thingis like new and sooo quiet so we had to get a fridge dolly and bring it up the stairs and in to my K2500
saved 400 off new

msgross · 07-16-2009, 07:24 AM

good deal for sure then...

Sinisterspeed · 07-16-2009, 11:09 PM

Dan, All I can say is OMG!

It makes me gringe just looking at that cab. I cant believe you fixed that! Makes feel pretty stupid about the dime sized rust hole I found in this 67 cab I have (that I was disapointed about)

...... I wonder what the shipping on a whole Rust free (except for that dime hole) 67 Small window cab would be.. LOL

Just kidding. Man you deffinatly have more balls then me to take that on!

Great work, Keep it up!!

glimmertwin01 · 07-17-2009, 06:12 AM

hahahaha and I hear you ***** about tiny rust areas... well this one wasnt rust as much as beat up.. I guess us guys up here are geographically challenged for old sctuff... and you wondered why i was marveling at all that nice crispy clean western stuff??
thanks for the props and the parts man....

glimmertwin01 · 07-18-2009, 08:58 PM

got all the putty outta the crevaces and got some of that lovely Pea soup colored Etch primer on the beast...next up bondo

glimmertwin01 · 07-18-2009, 09:03 PM

still waiting on the Bumper

msgross · 07-18-2009, 09:21 PM

well,the top of the roof should be easy!

glimmertwin01 · 07-18-2009, 09:39 PM

no one said it was gonna be easy....LOL smart ass

70rs/ss · 07-23-2009, 02:47 PM

Hey Dan, guess what I tripped over the other day....

A 73 Elky, it was Vato'fied w/13 inch spokes, and was pretty spartan on anything interior, but had a snappy 250 L6/th350 and was fairly straight w/some minor rust in the "trunk thing" interested? Asking $1300, I'd offer up about $6-800 and you'd own it I guess?? I have his phone number but no picts??

LMK??

BTW the cab is coming together, I junked a 67 cab that was near perfect (straight) except she had the Cancer in the cowl vents, althought the floor and rockers seemed OK, yeah I know, I suck!

Next winter if I make a nice snowball, send it to AZ in a cooler.. will you hit yourself in the face with it?

That's what I think of AZ guys trashing "bad" cabs!!!

all kidding aside I need to make a trip and invest in some SW sheetmetal for my next truck.

glimmertwin01 · 07-23-2009, 05:21 PM

ok I must need a new brain...look what i was scoping out yesterday... wants 1500 but ...not with no motor.. it isnt bad I think its just kinda bad ass lookin w/ 4 speed hugger orange 71

msgross · 07-23-2009, 08:17 PM

love the bumper..

70rs/ss · 09-03-2009, 06:13 PM

Too cool!

MSGROSS I'm from PA!! I know what rust on 3-5 year old vehicles looks like, and yeah I am spoiled!! Do like Dan did buy here and drive or ship home! My 2wd Blazer is headed to OH in a couple of months! I don't mind sharing, we have lots!

glimmertwin01 · 03-07-2010, 09:52 AM

Decided to Bag the 67 Cab and use a good 68 rot free NM cab...
i snagged this with the doors a left front fender and a nose with core support for 500! heres the cab..once i clean it up inside today ill have better pics

msgross · 03-07-2010, 10:22 AM

where did you find that? nice upgrade... I'd finish up the cab that you have and sell it to another NY'er that has a rusty cab. Or bring it down to Carlisle...
