Re: 30 Pickup Sheetmetal Work
Flop,
trying to figure out how previous owner got some wiring thru the firewall drivers side corner. you have a front view of your cab. Are there any holes/gaps where the slanted wood floor meets the flat wood? I can't figure how to send pictures and don't know how to find a URL?? Thanks, Dick Lakeland Florida |

Re: 30 Pickup Sheetmetal Work
finally got a partial view on that firewall corner and found some butchery due to someone installing 70's vintage fiberglass front fenders. unfortunately no way to sleeve or otherwise protect the wires from vibration and possible short circuiting.
thanks anyway |

Re: 30 Pickup Sheetmetal Work
sorry i couldnt help 30
well shes a little rough things escalated quickly why dont they make pickup truck subrails ? tudor stuff isnt even close !! luckily i had some old pickup subrails in stock . they have to be spliced in and the tudor new subrail had to be narrowed on the outer edge . nowhere close to being right out of the box

Re: 30 Pickup Sheetmetal Work
check the width of that repro rear sub against a real one you may find a serious difference in the sub being narrow and the curve being off where the cab wraps onto it

Re: 30 Pickup Sheetmetal Work
Flop,
Rollingsculture is right about the repo rear crossmembers. I bought one. There was no curve where the rear of the body wraps under and it needed some metal added at the sides to make it right. Plus it was flimsy compared to my original. I ended up not using it and made my own out of 16 gauge, using the original as a pattern. It turned out great and looks much nicer than that repo crap. I'll be watching your progress very carefully on this one Flop. It looks as though your cab is in the same state (of disassembly) as mine was when I bought it. Keep it up, and keeps the pictures flowing. I love your work and learn a lot from you.

Re: 30 Pickup Sheetmetal Work
Its good to see you back !!!!!!! It would be very interesting to see more pics of how you repaired the cowl, where the tank sits. Keep up the good work.

Re: 30 Pickup Sheetmetal Work
thanks for all the info Mike ! I either got lucky or they stepped up the rear crossmember game .
hey vin tin . nothing flimsy about this one . 2 minor mods and it is as good as stock purdy ... shrank and stretched a piece of metal to look stock and welded it in . nothing to crazy only 2 things i had to do get this crossmember to stock specs ..a little trim and weld on a new edge and bracing under the bolt holes weld through primer on both sides turns into these B pillar to subrail .16 gauge sheetmetal lets build a truck !
