I like your enthusiasm restoring this rusted pickup. All theese old cars need to be restored because the new ones are mostly rubbish (my daily driver is a '69 Volvo). This Summer I'm going to excavate a VW bus of the fifties (probably) that is buried for 50+ years. The last time I've seen it was ca.1973 as a child when only the rear of the roof and the back window looked out of the surface. Unfortunately the authoritys seem unreachable to give permission for digging but I keep on trying ! I hope there's something left of it. Perhaps I'm even going to make make a YT Video of that adventure. Greetings from Kiel / Germany.

Going to Georgia next weekend to look at my first single cab! Still new to the hobby, but excited. Gonna be a big project (lots of rust too). Concerned about parts, but I guess I'll worry about that after I own it hahaha.

patch it but don't expect a full restoration on this. Enjoy it as is, oil the shit out of it.

I didn’t read all the comments but you said you want to name it. Because of the bottle you found maybe name it brownie! Just a thought. Will be fun tagging along on the build.

Aren't the drilled out holes now pure metal that let them rust out quickly?
@VWFunBus
Ай бұрын
There is that possibility, however when I drill them, with the size bits that I use, it rarely takes all the paint out. If you are worried about that, you can always take some thinned out paint and use a model car brush to coat the inside of the hole. The amount of paint build-up would be minimal. I have never had an issue with rust.

Had a 64,66, and a 67. The 67 got painted and reupholstered over 30 years ago. 67 had a large back window. In those days a you could buy one for a few hundred. Wished I never sold it. Still have some sliding glass and connestoga top grommets. The Thing used the same method to secure the top.

Looks like a hell of a project. Good job you can get plenty of panels! I've not done an early bus but seen plenty - I'd get it washed and buffed with a fine scotch pad, lose all the loose rust. Then take off that bed and start soda blasting the frame and inside the treasure chest area. Only then can you see what you're really dealing with. Good luck, I'll be following you!

Pretty cool, a wood bed i think would look slick unless you want to keep og.
@nicolasloud995

For the bed a flat decent gauge sheet metal would be a nice replacement than the corrugated metal. Mustie1 did something similar to his single cab.
@VWFunBus
2 ай бұрын
Flat sheet metal is one option we have considered along with some type of wooden bed. Whatever we do, I would like to match the patina on the truck. I can artificially age whatever we use, but I also want it to look "period" correct for the truck. Thanks for the suggestion.

Thanks for the info. When I was replacing my used molding/trim on my '71 SB I found that the clips went in well, but the trim was loose. I used EMPI clips. Any tips on getting the trim to sit tightly?
@VWFunBus
2 ай бұрын
Sometimes it is the different manufacturers for the clips and trim that make it fit loose. Usually I will try to take some small needle nose pliers and tape up the edges of the trip to help prevent marring it. You can sometimes adjust the lip on the trip slightly to make it sit tighter to the car, but you have to do it carefully. Depending on whether the bodywork on the car has a low spot or high spot near the clip, you can still end up the the trim loose or tight in some places.
@jaredhodges2331

Yep, that's what I ended up doing. I just applied slight pressure to the strip where the clip is located and they fit just fine.

What if the spare wheel is in place? Can you access it through one of the fender bolt holes?
@VWFunBus
2 ай бұрын
If the spare wheel is there, it does complicate things. It depends on the type of wheel and the position of the openings in the wheel. I have opened hood latches with the spare in place, but it usually takes a solid bar that I have put some bends in to be able to fish it through the openings. There can be times where depending on the wheel or the way it's positioned that it's almost impossible to do.
