Slowly but have tickets for the intervention in September.

Carriage bolts are a real pain.

Old frame is out.
What a bent up POS
Glad it's out and a couple of Sawzall blades later it's gone to scrap

Good progress! You said it was kinked and bent, but dude! That looks like a stock market graph or a heart monitor readout or something. Certainly not a frame rail.

Glad we decided to trash this frame.
And probably won't be one bolt my kid and I won't have a hand on thru this project

Gonna be a project and a half.
Got 6 months to get it together for the C10 intervention in Sept
Nothing like a 500+ mile 1st drive

Really beginning to hate a P-19 shock pin.
Had cracks going 2 inches north and south of the right rear shock.
Cut the section out and scabbed in a bit of the old frame.

Also took another piece if the old frame to strengthen up this area

Looks great! Do I see some grill choices in the background?

Sort of.
Love the 73/74 grilles but also the 81-87 stacked headlights.
Trying to convince ourselves it's a viable project. After the eleventy thousands of project we're already involved in.

The underside of the tub looks good. What's making you question keeping it?

The truck is going to together.
I meant making a 73 grille going in to a 81 up opening project.
