    What have you done to your square lately??

    What it looks like to 'make room'...and proof it all fits back inside. I did get a new roof skin for the cab.....working on that mess as well.

    What have you done to your square lately??

    The fella that does all my soda blasting has had my fenders for about 2 years. Wasn't in his way and I had no use for them yet. Well, after doing my doors, dash and cowl, his guys misunderstood and did the fenders too. So I had a pile of parts in bare metal that needed primed pronto. I have a...

    Anyone ever seen a sun roof in a Square body

    I bet Webasto makes a moonroof that would work - retract outside like a spoiler. They make like 90% of all sunroofs and have a list of custom 'universals'. Be a great way to fix mine. lol

    ARA manufactured A/C

    They have truck-specific kits....mine was a square "without factory AC". So far it looks pretty straight forward to install. Mine is a custom setup because of my FI, where/how it mounts, etc. I sold the Sanden compressor that came with the kit and got a different one because of how I was...

    I dont but will try to collect them in one spot. I removed the whole thing opting for a VA setup.

    ARA manufactured A/C

    I think I have the duct work, vents and gauge bezel (with the cutouts for the vents). I suppose if I saw what you needed I'd recognize it enough to know if its here or not. I -might- even have the main box - not sure.

    ARA manufactured A/C

    Thats the system mine came with. Every posting I found online about it was that even when it worked, it didnt work. Never got very cold. IIRC the company is out of business and someone bought up all the spares (years ago). I have a few pieces parts from it if there's something specific you need...

    New Panel Coatings

    Whats your experience with the EDP / e-coat on new panels? Like with bondo on bare metal or primer, seems to be 50-50 as to what guys do. I saw a short AMD video saying to keep it out of the sun, scuff it and paint it. I've seen several big time builders say the same thing. Most of Eastwood's...

    HF has a super coupon for the 120v spot welder. $10 off.

    Roof Panel Replacement

    I've been watching for just such a thing, but yeah - you're right, welders are one category they usually exclude. They grift that goofy club they have but I have rarely seen a 'deal' with that that justified their membership fee. Only time I ever did was their top of the line floor jack - bought...

    Roof Panel Replacement

    I wondered how much of a difference it would make. The 110 is rated for up to 1/8" thick. The 240 is rated for up to 3/8" thick. The 110 is $10 more than the 240. lol Only complaints I have heard is the rods are short - but longer ones can be fabbed (many do it). And, the power cords are too...

    Roof Panel Replacement

    This is the area on the fender. The bumper straightened out no problem.

    Roof Panel Replacement

    I saw a couple vids of guys fixing rusted roofs (cab lights) who said they "couldn't" use a spot welder. Then I noticed.....they both still had the windshield in. It would be cheaper than a local and I'd have a tool to keep. This solution almost seems too easy. LMAO

    Roof Panel Replacement

    If that fender was dented in any other place, it'd be an easy fix - but its right in the middle of a multi-contoured part of it. Will I try? Sure. But if the corner marker doesn't mount flush, or it doesn't look perfect, I'll find another. There were dents and holes on the cab (doors and bed)...

    Roof Panel Replacement

    Its not just a flat roof either.....has alot of contour front to back and side to side. How guys do what they do when they do fix them....is beyond my pay grade. My left fender has a slight dent right at the side marker - someone had run into something with the side of the bumper and pushed it...

    Roof Panel Replacement

    It has an interior light - nothing else. I've found with so many oil canned areas, its like a Rubiks cube - you fix 1-2 sides and it makes the remaining 5-6 worse. This one had 11 areas when this first happened. It wasnt a single dent that created 1-2 areas - it was a ripple effect that did the...

    Roof Panel Replacement

    Kind of thinking about this. The way it was originally attached. Cheaper than hiring one of the local sht for brains and I get a tool for keeps.

    Roof Panel Replacement

    I can plumb - sweat pipes no problem but no acetylene setups. I'll have to look into this......sounds interesting. I remember a guy my grandma used - 40++ yrs ago. He would melt a lead mixture on the old sewer line connections.

    Roof Panel Replacement

    Only one around (and I've looked) is the local HS - and they are "out of session" til Fall. Always wanted to call the teacher there and as him if he has any autobody savants for hire.
