I really wish I did not scrap my parts truck's frame now. It was rust free.

 

shoot eh, since i am hopfully buying all that other stuff from you

 

lots of work .. eh? .. i'm a year on mine now

keep er' up '

 

yea, but now that i will finnally have a rust free box and doors soon its makes it allot more worth it.....first day back in school, i will hopfully finnish one side of the frame and start on the other side.....i am kinda skeptical thoe, i am welding a little less than 1/4 inch steel on the frame with a 110 volt welder, its a gas lincon welder says it can weld 1/4 in high but we will see, if i weld on a scrap peiice of metal i am not getting FULL penitration but i can see allot discoloration on the other side, so thats good right?

 

ok so its been a wile and i have almost finnished the driver and passanger side floors and outter and inner rockers.....now to start on the back corners

 

ah went for the repair. looks pretty nice.
i dont know if you have a torch but if your using a smaller welder, its beneficial to preheat with a torch and the weld just flows.

 

oh yea, i have a torch

 

sorry its been a while since i posted.....exams and stuff

but anyway here are some more picks of rust repair....passanger and driver side floors and drivers side HAND made rocker and cab corner.....made with a ballpeen hammer and tinsnips

 

now i cant wait to start using fiberglass filler and plastic filler.....thats probly the funnest part, gonna make cab corners and rockers perfect....then i am gonna use automotive tar to do under the cab and stuff or somthing else, maybe por15 who knows

 

Nice work.

 

thanks

 

got more work done on the old yoter....started building cab mounts.....man i love CNC machines cut this stuff out SOOOO nicely


out with the old


In with the new



and this is a picture of the welder that i am using for everything

 

You're doing some crazy work! I'm excited to see it start coming together.

 

thanks, i have three more cab mounts to build, then i can paint my frame and get the cab set back on it....then i am gonna do a cheap man locker in the rear(welding her up) cause i am going to buy my new 22r this Saturday then i am gonna get it cleaned and painted and once thats altogether i can start body filler on the cab....its gonna take a while so i can make it look nice then i can rolle my truck over to autobody witch is just a few doors down then they r going to primer/surfacer it and give it somee nice new 2006 toyota voodoo blue paint then i have a box, doors and hood from cali that i need to go get, or get my dads work to have a big truck driver go pick it up for me


most of you might not know but i am only 16 years old and am still going to school and work allot.....my parents have helped me with NOTHING for this project and once it is done i am gonna swamp the little bugger hehehe

 

well today i bought a motor......1982 22r has just under 150k on it...looks clean and runs all for $280........now where can i buy a header for relitivly cheap? and wheres the cheapest place to get a weber carb conversion?

Cheapest place i've found so far.

 

did more on the truck today.....got the "new" motor set in.....has 150,000 k's and just some frame and cab shots.....kinda see how big our school shop is

 

With all the new steel welded in, how do you prevent rust from forming on the "insides" of the box framing and sheet metal? To you go back and drill holes to squirt in something to coat it? That is my biggest concern as I've worked on my truck.

 

well when i am done...i am getting my frame dipped, and powdercoated all for 100 bucks......and they are powdercoating the inside of the frame rails also......but if you can, try to coat the inside of your frame with some penetrating oil to stop further rust

 

man thats pretty sick what u have done so far. good luck with it.
