Re: 51 Chevy 1/2 ton, My S10 swap

I spent a few hours Saturday putting POR 15 on the frame. I would have liked to disassempble everything, then have it blasted and then repaint it and reassemble it, but time and money are in very short supply. The frame is at my work and there is no way I could leave it there for as long as it would take to do it like I'd really like. Also, this will be my daily driver for 6 months of the year, so having the frame repainted and beautiful is not high on my priorities for my build. The frame is solid, and the suspension components look to be in very good shape. The front brake parts look like new and all the grease fittings were, well, very greasy when I cleaned it all up. So it looks to me the original GMC s15 appears to have been maintained fairly well.

I'm hoping to mount the cab this coming Saturday!
