Re: "Midnight Rider" 1970 C10 SWB Fleetside
Today, we will finish up the frame. Lots of frame rivets to drill out. Started with a center punch. Used a 3/16" bit for pilot hole. Last, I went for the takeout blow with a 3/8" bit. Most of them tapped right out. I few had to be persuaded with an air hammer.
Removed the rear bump stop perches first. This is roughly where the c-notch will be.
Removed the transmission crossmember and truck arm crossmember.
Almost forgot about the single exhaust hanger. I wont be needing this anymore.
Frame is ready to go to Piedmont Traction for some fab work, then off to blast and paint. That's it! It was a lot of work to this point. It now it seems like the work has only started. Stay tuned for some cool stuff!!!
