Here are a few pics of the 76 I'm building:
1. This is what I started with, a little rust but not bad. The body lined up real good, the doors shut as they should, the posts, jams, and rockers were in good shape.
2. Primmered and ready for paint.
3. Ahh yes fresh paint, Galvinized road signs make great replacement panels.
4.This is what I have been doing this week, replacing floor and bed pan parts, yeah should have done all this before I had it painted but I had to get it in there while the booth was open.
The corrigated part of the bed I cut out from an mid 80's truck, it worked out good, the other parts are from 16 gauge plate steel.
I hope to have panels replaced by mid next week then I will put the liner in. Next I guess I will swap in the 4:10 gears, I have a tru-trac for the front and a Aussie for the rear also I will put in poly bushings in the front except for the radius arms which I have the rubber degreed from WH. I have lots of parts to install yet but its coming along.
