    Bent hinge pillar / Sheet metal install

    Got all the major rust repair done on the firewall but within the pinch weld of the cowl panel and firewall I can tell there’s still some surface rust down in there. I’m guessing water has seeped through the seam sealer over the last 40 years. I already started ripping out the sealer ( yeah...

    Bent hinge pillar / Sheet metal install

    Thanks guys. Anybody have any ideas on the firewall. I’m thinking of cutting the whole section above that pinch weld and welding it smooth with only the holes I need. I keep looking for firewall repair parts but it seems they only make replacement firewall for the 67-72s. Any smooth firewall...

    Bent hinge pillar / Sheet metal install

    Sorry I got side tracked. Sure did. Took a slide hammer to it and with a little of pounding and pulling I rehung the door and the gaps lined up pretty good. Got sidetracked cause I was waiting on the door gaps because I had to cut the rockers and floor out. Once the door was straight I went...

    The side closer to the cowl is push in where the hinges mount but the side toward the cab opening seem to be right conpaired to the passengers side. Seems the bottom mount is pushed in a little further. I really need to strip the paint and put a flat primer on to get a better idea of how off...

    Bent hinge pillar / Sheet metal install

    Looking for a little insight from the experts out there. I have a ‘79 K10 that I’m rebuilding and the drivers door never lined up right and is hard to close. Has a newer door on it but the original was in the bed when I bought the truck and it’s obvious the previous owner back into something...

    Rocker and floor question

    Rocker and floor question

    First off. Great Forum This is my first post and I’m hoping to get some opinions or knowledge. I picked up a ‘79 K10 about a month ago with the intentions of doing a frame off. I know it’s a big project but I think of it as just that a project. This is my first square body in 20yrs having owned...
