My grandson helped me get this far, but unforntuatly he moved to new york. I will try and get the pictures caught up to the progress I have done to the truck. I have learned so much from this forum.:chevy:

Well I didn't get much done on the truck this weekend, the sun is out and I had yard work to get done. I did manage to strip the frame down more.:chevy:

Update I got my frame stripped and painted. I'm going to try and remember how to post pictures. It's been slow going for a year. But I'm on track now. Got most of my parts from LMC. I set a goal of together but not painted. 08-14

Looks good.

Are you using a phone to take pics? If so hold it the other way...if not, I dunno.

Wow, you've done some excellent work so far.

Your's is the same color my "69 stepside was (white over red now). I always thought someone had painted it with turquois and did a poor job. Especially when there was white underneath the turquois I assumed the truck was originally white since interior metal was white and engine cowl was white. Or had your truck been repainted turquois too?

Got my gas tank all lined up and the filler cap is going to line up with the boards perfect.:chevy:

I opened my box that has my grill in it from LMC. And this is what I found, I called them they want pictures of the box and grill so I sent them. It was not damaged in shipping, you can see the box has no marks on it. Hope I can get this fixed.:sumo:

I wouldn't care if they was any where on the bottom or any where other than the top

Your doing a excellent job on your project. LMC isnt the only company that has grille issues if it makes the situation any less worse. I don't live far from a LMC competitor and occasionally make it in there. I once seen 4 69-70 grilles in the clearance parts corner that customers had returned due to blemishes.

Re: 69 chevy build
 

did you overhaul the rear DIFF, or just paint it?

and what was the way you got the cab off, i am trying to figure out the best way of getting it off for paint

Re: 69 chevy build
 

Sometimes when you post the pictures from your phone the pictures will rotate the first time you post them, just edit the picture by rotating it once and save it. Then edit it again and rotate it again to how it was originally taken and save it and then try and post it again. Sounds like I'm making it up but it happens to me quite a bit and that is what works for me.

The rear end did get all new bearings seals and brakes, paint and a new shiny cover. The way I got my cab off, take the doors off and run a chain to one of the hinge bolts and the other end to the latch bolt. Do that on both sides and use two cable com alongs and hoist it from the ceiling. I think I may have some pictures of me lifting mine off. Hope that helped..:chevy:
