Most of the body is 18 gauge. The cab mount brackets and tailgate are 16 gauge.

How to fix a door is more than i could explain here. It depends on the damage and every part is different. I guess my answer is that there is no easy answer.

thanks, i think they all will be the same but i would like to make sure.

Now there is an idea i have not had yet.

The bleeder valve has to be at the top or air will not bleed out.

No I have not tried a stainless lined slave cylinder. Where can you get that done? I normally have to rebuild mine about every 3 years. But I drive it a lot. It works but I can't hold the clutch pedal down very long now before the pressure leaks off and the clutch engages.

I have never tried making the wing window but if I get a chance I will try it. They would look good in stainless.

i just made a simple crossmember out of rectangle tube for the mount. The hydraulic slave cylinder has worn out again. i think it might be time to come up with something better than the factory set up . i might try a wilwood hydraulic assembly.

I made some patterns from a 1963 crew cab for the extra braces behind the rockers. I am wondering if the other years of 1961-71 would be the same or if anything changed. There were 3 extra pieces on each rocker to brace it. If anyone has pictures of other years they could post that would be awsome. ...

sorry to hear about your dad. its always hard to say goodbye.

Thanks for your help.

I am working on a pair of crew cab rear doors and my pattern got messed up . I need the measurement from the bend at the top edge, where the weather strip is ,down to the body line for the front and rear of the door. I think the rear is 10 1/4" but the front is possibly more like 10 5/8" but I am no...

throw it away! I got suckered into buying one of those things about 20 years ago and installed it on my cuda. it was supposed to increase the spark and give me more power and fuel economy. I could never tell any difference and it ended up shorting out and my car would not run. I pulled that thing of...

this question gets asked all of the time. It has been done and its a lot of work to do it right but If you cant find a short bed cutting down a long bed is about all you can do.
