so what's the plan?

Plan is to clos'm up with some sheet metal. Build some sliders with some
tubes to protect the rear qrtr's and tail lights. Sliders will be fab'd from 6" sch.40 pipe cut in half lengthwise capped with 1/4" plate should be plenty stout. 1 1/2"
sch.40 legs weld to the frame, 1 1/2 tube bent for qrtr. panel protection I got it all in my head. More pics to come.

Serves no purpose.
Now... DOVING it... YES!

By a little, I mean to the rear tires and YES that would serve a purpose

 

[TeddyBoy]

Franken60? now that'd get 'er dun

 

[BGarcia88FJ62]

Progress.

Tack, tack, tack....... what a pain in the ass, and slider body.

 

[Land Speeder]

nice work!

What ever happened to the filet o' douche that owned this 60? Think he got into BMW's or something...

 

[TeddyBoy]

come on Ben--too few posts too far apart. What's the latest

 

[BGarcia88FJ62]

Making Progress I work on it when I can and slowly at that. Finished welds, grinding, flap disk Slider Bodies. Shade Tree body work. Next step will be a little body filler on the quarter panels, little sanding and prepping for bed-liner on the lower contour of the truck.

 

[Land Speeder]

Yes!
Can you please get tranny fluid all in your hair while you do this though???

 

[BGarcia88FJ62]

Potential line for bed liner. Any recommendations on which brand to use?

Any recommendations on which brand to use?

I used Herculiner on mine and it worked fine on the sides. It will fade over time if its in a lot of sunlight every day. It was pretty cheap compared to a lot of other options

The bed armor will not fade in the sun.

 

[BGarcia88FJ62]

Kinda pricey but I'm leaning towards "Monstaliner" I like the finish and how the texture looks.

 

[rockabilly cruiser]

You only live once. Spend the extra money.

"Monstalined" Sliders and quarter panel protection (in paint)

I find myself staring at this pic wonder how the hell they are on the wood rack...are they magnetic? Glue?

They look stout though and the bedliner turned out.
