Re: 1963 C10 SWB Big Window Build

Thanks all.

Well i got started on the rear half and let me tell you those 4 little rivets on top of the trailing arm crossmember are a pain in the A$$. It took me 2 hours of grinding, air hammer and BFH to get that crossmember out of there. But its out and on to the next phase

What worked best for me was to grind off the heads on the inside of the top rail (4 rivets) and use the air hammer to punch them threw the top from the inside. Never had to try and get between the cab and frame. once the crossmember was out i grinded what was left of the top rivets and air hammered them the rest of the way out with a punch bit.
