Thanks! I like hearing feedback. I do still have a lot of work to with the firewall and getting everything buttoned up. It’s been a challenge to figure what to video and keep it interesting and what is just too drawn out. I shoot hours and hours of footage so it’s can be difficult to trim it down w...

I understand about life getting/being "busy"...but, the truck is coming along great. I've been watching and waiting for updates... Thank you Steve, actually besides being busy we have been laying the ground work so I can retire from my day job (I'm 63), it's been and still is kinda' stres...

Sorry it's been awhile since any updates on the '62 flareside build but there has been a lot going on in my life the last few months and my wife has been very busy using the shop for her business which has limited our time on this build. But.... we have made some progress. First thing is I wanted to...

Pretty Cool build, like Bill not really into the low rider/air ride scene but really enjoyed watching your vids, for people wanting to do a CV body swap wither using the floor and firewall from the donor or not your videos at the beginning show what is involved in removing the CV body which is very ...

Ok guys wasn't sure where to ask this but whats yalls thoughts on using the vics firewall and floor pan. mine is rusted bad on my unibody I really don't want to buy floor pans when I have a perfect pan in the car plus I have AC lol Well, first it's a lot of work and the value of that work is someth...

I am thinking about using a late model rear bench seat out of an F250/F350 that is much slimmer as well for the added room it will give. The seat will certainly help, but when you take the two vehicles apart pay particular attention to the floor pans in each, you'll notice right off that the CV flo...

Welcome Brad I did the same project a couple years ago and the truck has been my daily driver for the last two years. I'm currently working on my third truck (all are posted here in separate threads) and on this build I reused the CV firewall and floor, it's something I think you should consider doi...

Just a brief note... (no pics but will post pictures next time) So....we have the windshield and back glass reinstalled, new tinted windshield, have the window regulators converted with the Saturn power window motors, wing windows rebuilt with new rubber gaskets. On one of the wing windows I had a p...

Thanks Steve, some might question the wisdom of going to all the trouble of painting something, then sanding it off on purpose...lol

Update: So it's been awhile since I posted anything about the '62 build, there has been progress in spurts because of my wife's business booming...lol I think where I left off I had just finished the front end wiring for the lighting, that part is complete, we then wanted to get the doors and hood s...

Short Time..... Got a few things taken care of on the '62 build before another job for my wife showed up...lol First for Steve..... Here's a pic of the wheel in the cut out fender wheel opening..... https://photos.imageevent.com/zany/newbee/websize/IMG_0458.JPG Note: I will smooth out the lip of the...

Wondering how that "trimmed" front fender will look with the tire back in place. Unique idea on how to get necessary clearance. There's another guy on here that cut the front fenders along the top and added some metal to make them wider... Here's the link to his build thread....you might ...

I know someone that did the Vermont thing for an old F1 pickup. He was actually driving the truck in PA with the Vermont tags on it but then had to get the PA title when he decided to sell it. No issues except paying the Vermont sales tax. Worked fine for us as well, originally they told us if we t...

Not a lot of progress in the last few weeks, the wife is still busy with work which is a good thing business-wise but isn't helping the '62 move ahead. lol Did do a few things, first being separating the grill from the upper valance, I do this so I can wire the headlights and turn signals then just ...

If all else fails you can get a "certificate of ownership" (not really a title but will pass for a title in a most of states) from Vermont (vehicle must be over 15 years old), they will issue the CoO to non-residents but it is a little pricey, you basically have to pay the NADA value in sa...

Progress again on the '62 build....but first. So spent the last two weekends working on the donor for the '53 C600, the 2k GMC 3500 has had issues running both before we bought it and after we bought it, the reason it has been parked for over 2 years has been a running issue which has been that it a...

Not a lot of progress this weekend, again my wife is busy making a living in our shop. Did have time to work on the exterior of the drivers door on the '62, it had a rotten spot in one corner that I cut out and welded a patch in, but didn't make much more progress. https://photos.imageevent.com/zany...

Thanks I also find that if I chase the water out of the steel with a sweating torch just before I paint the rustoleum tends to stick better and dry faster, just need it to not get too hot so the paint does not burn when applied. Keep doing the things you do its awesome to watch Thank you for the ki...
