1967 F-100 project

[67nukeford]

Green sales in Cincinnati hooked me up with the corner parts. Here is the inner support mocked in.

[67nukeford]

had to do a repair to the support that runs across the back of the box.

[67nukeford]

Everything primered and ready for assemly.

[67nukeford]

Inner support welded in, then the outer corner. Came out really nice. Just have to fab up a piece to cover the side marker light.

[67nukeford]

On to the box sides, starting wit the drivers side. So, I attempted to save the rear half of the drivers side. It was pretty pitted on the back side, and the metal was weak in those areas, so I attempted a series of patches. As you can see, it was just a bit much, so, I rolled the dice, and bought the back half box side from LMC. Haven't had a lot of luck with these guys. This wasn't the greatest either, it was going to take some massaging to make it work.

[67nukeford]

Of course, the stamping was right, so, I had to massage the belt line to fit. This was not fun.

[67nukeford]

Original panel cut in half, and new piece fitted.

[67nukeford]

Wanted to install the fuel door, before I welded the bed sides on. Robbed this from a 79. Made a backing plate for it, and marked the hole in the box side.

[67nukeford]

cut out the hole, and then made a mount for the filler spout. This one is from a Dodge chassis cab truck. Cut out the hole in the box floor to fit the filler mount. And, yes, I made the damn cut too big on the back side, so I'll be welding some of that metal back in.

[67nukeford]

Clamped in the fuel door panel and welded it on. Oh, and fix the too-big hole on the back side!

Wow really nice work.

[67nukeford]

After resizing the hole in the box floor/side, I made up a cover for it.

[67nukeford]

prepped, welded, primered

[67nukeford]

also prepped and undercoated the bottom of the cover.

[67nukeford]

finally time to get one of the box sides back on. Undercoated the back sides of the drivers side, and then applied weld through primer.
