Glen's budget rebuild

[79coyotefrg]

no more air leak 




getting the rest of the air ducting  installed was a pain in the

[79coyotefrg]

test fit,  and  mark for holes  to be drilled



dash installed 

[79coyotefrg]

then i went   trying to find the  pwr steering hoses, but finally  did

then  mounted the coil  and  regulator,   had  to drill holes  for the  pwr steering  resevoir

[4inchToyotas]

no more air leak 




getting the rest of the air ducting  installed was a pain in the

only cuz you have whitey hands and not little Jap girlie man hands

[79coyotefrg]

   um  i actually have  small hands  for a dude,  not  girlie hands  but  not    sasquatch either

[Gittinit]

One named rosie and the other is the mistress.

Its good to see it coming back together.

[Rocksurfer]

first thing today was to mount the a/c  unit,  the old gasket was gone  so i had Mom help me  and i rolled a old sock  and  taped it  to the  unit,  i was  worried it wouldnt work but  it did 

Now when you turn on the air your truck will smell like stinky socks.

[skipnrocks]

LOL A rolled sock!!!  Thats thinkin!

[CTENG in KS]

That is supremely gheto...good use of duct tape.  I approve this buidup.

[4inchToyotas]

If it can't be fixed with JB Weld or Duct Tape...it probably ain't worth fixin'

[79coyotefrg]

JB weld   


i did find out today  the  core support  (being a 83)  is  drilled for the round headlight buckets  but  theres no nuts welded  to the back side

JB WELD SOME

[79coyotefrg]

JB WELD SOME

btw it IS  welded  and sleeved on the inside,   i just used the JB weld as filler  to smooth things out

[Plekto]

Heh.  I had this image of Glen going off a big rock and the entire top flying into the canyon.

good thinkin

[79coyotefrg]

yea this aint fontucky fab 

Jordan was here earlier  and  said     but  you cant see  the   sleeve  on the inside  or  the welding under the jbweld,

but  here you can see the  sleeving  ,  2  opposing  1x1x.180 angle iron  welded  to the  lower  part




i drilled  holes   and  made plug welds,  trust me  i wouldnt ride  in this  if  it  wasnt  "right" 

[Jordan7118]

Yep, I came to visit Glen tonight. Though I wouldn't run it, I think it'll be fine.

The lawnmower blades are apparently only an attachment point for the seat  That too is okay, I guess 

After two trips to U-Pull-It (45 minutes one way), your springs arrived!  so now mount them CORRECTLY!! I don't wanna see any more of that booty-fab crap. Pony up and cut up some 3x3" square tube and make a couple hangers for the front. DON'T mount them long side to the rear or I'll take them back! 

Keep the progress rollin', Glen!

   its looking like a truck again

[Oddmar]

When you get the truck done, you need to go find the lady that caused the accident and park it in front of her house. She'd freak!! "O'm'god it's back from the dead!!"

   GOOD IDEA

[skipnrocks]

Take a vid of when she comes out of the house!!   LOL

[79coyotefrg]

well i decided  to  lay under the truck and   my welding didnt look good 

so  for the past 3 hours  off and on taking breaks  to rest my arm  ive been welding  overhead 

i have alot better fusion of the metal now  ,  still  doesnt look that great  but  it'll do   

i also  did alot of  dual stick fill welding up top,   after it finally all cooled down    and i could move again    i mixed up a little bondo  and sealed everything off

i will watch for cracks later on,  if  i see any cracks,  in my welds,   that i cant fix  i will  just  try and find a new cab

sorry no pics, 

[skipnrocks]

Ugg I hate welding upside down,  the only time its ok is maybe welding under a lift.


Nice job getting the work done...
