Re: "Sin-thia" My 74 GMC
Well I hadn't done much to it except pull the engine and trans until just recently when I finally cut the frame down to turn it into a short bed. I started measuring for my cuts and making my marks, I started at 8" behind the cab mount crossmember......
Then from there I went 14" back and started laying out all my lines......
I started to use a sawzall to make my cuts, but I used 2 blades within about 4" of cutting (most of been really cheap blades, they were a gift). So I brought out the torch, it was alot faster anyway......
The point of no return......
And after what seemed like several hours of grinding, due to only have an air grinder and having to wait on my 30gal. compressor to constantly rebuild pressure I was ready to start reassembly......
