  3. Floorpans are done! Now mocking up the interior to finish any more welding and fabrication so it'll be ready to be coated, woohoo. It's looking like a truck again, atleast on the inside.

      Looks like it is coming along, Tony. My B is in teardown mode. Wanna come over and do some welding?

  4. The new air ride and rear end didn't go in quite as planned but it'll work with some fabbing. Would be nice for something to just bolt right up.

      I feel your pain but with modernizing something like this, everything is trial and error. BTDT.

      nice neat work,would like to see update shots,why all the steel work,was there that much rust?bob

      A good third of the cab was rusted away. Those cabs are too hard to find so not much of a choice but to grin and bear it and start replacing the bad with new stuff. Just takes a lot of time.

  7. Got most of the unused holes welded up in the frame. There was a bunch. She'll be smooth and nice once she's painted. Still a ways off though. Keep coming up with more things to make before I tear her down.

      Good to see the great progress and the work is looking good.

  8. Adding a 53' H61 to the stable. So excited. Pics soon to follow once I get her home. I'm officically part of the more than one truck club, wooohooo. Just gotta get them going now.

  13. Fabbing up tranny mounts today and looking forward to seeing Packer and my new rear end next week.

  14. H63 cab is leaving for the sheetmetal shop next month. I got the majority of the work done but realized how shitty sheetmetal work is to do. I'm gonna concentrate on the chassis. Got the rear air ride in and now to fab up mounts for the Big Cam III Cummins. I'll be ready to do some burnouts.

  16. Tranny brackets are being fabricated, off to the beach on Thursday for a week, wooohooo. The old girl will have to wait a little bit

  17. Hunting for parts to mix and match to make this rearend work. Mama said there'd be days like this but she didn't say they'd all be like this.

  18. Rear end and air ride is buttoned up, front crossmember is moved back, just gotta fab up a few more things and the frame will be torn apart, blasted and then painted, woohoo.

  22. It's nice to see these great trucks are appreciated everywhere, not just here in the U.S. I thought I'm having a hard time finding parts for my H-63, can't imagine what you have to go through to get stuff. Keep up the good work. I'm getting my cab media blasted today and going to start the sheetmetal repair next week. I'm going to post pics in my gallery of the progress.

  23. This 70 degree weather here at Pismo Beach sure beats the 100 degree dry heat at home

  24. Got back to tinkerin on the old girl.

  25. H61 is comin today, woohooo.
