The Stovebolt Site Forums The Parking Lot Tons 'o Fun New 9ft bed progress!! & 1ton GMC build

Thanks Ton.

Howie,
I plan on coming out to Reynolds and I look forward to meeting some Bolters in person. Can't wait to see some other one tonners too. They really do grow on a guy eh? Any chance of getting your 62 in the show, too? I'll pm you closer to the show.

Well, I think this weekend has finally seen the end of the box body work. It's pretty darn straight (not concourse style) but I'm happy with it. I shot another coat of primer on Saturday but will double check with guide coat and will then probably give it one more before top coat. Looking pretty good, now onto the front end.

I also tore into my parts truck today to get the wheel cylinder adjusters as I had a couple broken teeth on the star adjusters of the one ton. The drum came off very nicely considering the old girl had been sitting in the trees for 30 years. I also finished removing the clips from the old rims. I have 17 clips in a ziplock bag ready to go. I don't know about you guys but I always seem to need a spare when working with old truck stuff...
