I'd be VERY careful of a crew especially with a rusty floor. 75% of them have bad roofs and it's very hard to tell by looking at them. But rusty floors is a common sign, especially on the DS. I have seen Arizona crews with bad roofs. It's a byproduct of poor assembly seam sealing and the fact on a crews larger roof, they will literally makes water during temp cycles. So use a screwdriver under the seam sealer and look for softness on every square inch of the roof seam. Also the pillars behind the front doors...in the pinch welds. Also while your at it the crews are bad for cracking the rear body mounting areas, check those also carefully.
Is someone paying you to do this?You are moving so fast an doing so great work.
I do know the feeling when working on something and getting really "into it"
and speaking of getting back 'in to it'.. when do you get vertical again and able to work on the 12 valve 'burb?
So, I'm sure you have posted what liner you are using, but I seemed to have missed/don't recall what it is. Sure looks good and would be nice to do on our crew when I replace the floor. Did you or dad spray it on or is it all rolled?If you want to get some practice on a crew come down to southeast AZ, I'd love some help and the expertise. I can manage but I am by no means good at it. Thanks for the info on your liner.Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
Who knows I am a long ways from that stage yet LoL I still have to find a passenger side rear door that's nice....and come up with a plan on how to build it.
My next one will be built with no IC because I am odd like that LoL
You swapping that 14 Bolt to 1410 also? Now is the time LoL

I have been eyeing those GLO straps/girdles myself. I was trying to decide in my farmer engineering mind why those wouldn't be stronger than the u-bolt style retention. I decided they almost have to be stronger. Only draw back is I already have all U-bolt style yokes in 1350 LoL
I need to make a move if I'm going to do it since both shafts are at the machine shop getting prepped. I can call the guy today and get him to put 1350s on both ends, but I may just let it ride (literally) and see which goes first.. if ever. the guy is going to inspect the Chevy slip yoke shaft to see if it's able to be used. he said there were 3 different sizes it could be and wouldn't know without cutting it open. the front will be easy, since it's a 4 bolt flange to a yoke on the axle. just needs to be lengthened. the rear is the tricky part. hahahvote for changing the 205 yoke to 1350 -OR- just leave it and see what happens..
