body sides...
Hi,
After two failed attempts at making the tops of the body sides to my liking, I decided to go to "plan B". Not original, but gets me out of a three weekend rut and allows me to move on with the project..... Have piles of 1 5/8" x 1 5/8" Unistrut here that had sparked my interest. Used the plasma cutter to cut off one of the curled edges the length of the rail, notched it to fit my end angle iron pieces on the body and welded on an end cap. Looks good, is strong and gives the body sides a nice finished edge, but has no curve for the tubing top canvas structure. Bolted this piece on along the body sides, so it can be removed easily later if a better option is found. Thanks, David Last edited by David DeWeese; 22-11-10 at 14:00.

That'll do for now I think
You need to move on and come back to that when you get a chance, something will turn up.
G ( on a separate note I checked the one "VC" pickup rear fender I have here and it is an ordinary civilian one, but at least I can get on with repairing and fitting that while I wait for it's partner to ship from you. I'll probably open out the wheel opening to match the VC spec before I fit it. )

Hi Gordon,
The parts should be there fairly quick as the guy who picked them up said they would be shipped along with that car for Erik ASAP. Having more than enough Dodge pickup rear fenders is always a good thing! Hi Keith, Yes, me and Mr. Sanders have built a lasting relationship. His chicken is actually a great multi-purpose food: It tastes good, and if applied evenly to bare metal surfaces is a great rust prevenative!

It's good to see your little truck making progress
I'll bet it stands out in a crowd in Texas, smaller than the average family pickup down your direction I suppose.
I'd be helping out with parts if I could, but Canadian stuff is getting increasingly rare round here, and only 13 cab stuff was ever 'common' Back to the garage

Tilt Frame Attachment
David,
Your top rail of the bed looks great! Wish I'd though about doing it your way. I was in a quandry when I went to attach the frame to the bed of my F8 so simply welded some tabs to the edge of both sides and bolted the frames to the tabs. The attached pictures should tell the story better than I can describe it! Regards, Jim

thanks...
Gordon,
Yes, the C8 is certainly very different from anything around here. The MV guys don't really know what to say about it either. Am aiming for taking it to Brent Mullins Open House in the spring..... Alex, All I can say is billions of vermin can't all be wrong.  Jim, Came to a sobering conclusion that the small details on these trucks are certainly wasted on the folks here in the US. Someone will still probably come up to you at some point and say "Hey, nice Jeep!"  Thanks, David Last edited by David DeWeese; 25-11-10 at 09:51.
