    Shop is a nice 60°F as it is all winter. In floor heat is nice. Meanwhile on this chilly unforseen day off ( now get MLK off) I got the driver side panel mounted and started to get the passenger side going. I made 2 of everything so when I get around to PUMA I can just copy and paste TODD.

    Arm rests...NOS 53 era

    Under dash panels edge power hammered. Time to strighten and such before putting in holes and mounting brackets.

    Added some metal to stop the interior door handles being lifted to lock the doors w/o a way to regain entry.

    Hopefully my messing with them a few years ago didn't come back to haunt you! Happy to see them being put to good use!

    I thought it was "one cow" distance not 6'?

    My B3D goes 60 MPH all day long on my 4.10 gears....engine tach says I am below danger RPM by a comfortable margin (but I also have taller tires than you likley). At that speed I'm more worried about steering and braking with the "smart" people driving modern vehicles wilst on their cell phone than engine RPM.

    he's all over on the book of face.

    From what I've been told TIG puts more heat in but is softer. Meanwhile, under dash panel bucks made and panels hammer and dollied out. Next step power hammer a ridge in and trim up. Will hold the AC vents, AC control and radio.

    Fender rivet repair. Turned down 3/8" carriage bolts.
  15. ggdad1951
    3/16" is the goal, that's what my paint guy wants....easy to grind away more if he needs more space

    Building out big gaps on seams

    Arm rests in the center of the cab do fold up.
  18. ggdad1951
    I believe the arm rests both will fold up. If they don't, I'll let you know tomorrow.

    For TODD I used 2001 Silverado seats, built in seat belts and power seats. BUT, since TODD isn't a stock cab, there is no seat pan. The floor is at stock level still tho, so I welded 2x2 steel to the cab frame and floor and bolted driectly to that. No, idea how they'd fit in an non extended cab.

    Tipping doghouse basically done, some welding needs finished off under the rad support.
  21. ggdad1951
    that is a NICE blue!
  22. ggdad1951
    Diver side done. Turned out way better!
  23. ggdad1951
    On to the driver side....odd that the second time seems to always go better/easier lol
  24. ggdad1951
    So either it's done or I have more work to do. Have to finish door gaps yet on the rear for sure.
  25. ggdad1951
    Passenger side tacked on...fingers crossed! Oddly a few things moved around putting it on. Should be simple to adjust back
