Re: '89 3/4T 'burb front-end swap to '66 C20

Day two: Partial frame-off

My buddy John came by today and we kicked some tail!


This is what we started with at about 11:00 this morning (John needed his beauty rest) While I was waiting for him, I hooked up the battery and just drove it in under it's own power (easier on the back)



Jacked 'er up, yanked the tires. those drums are almost new - shame!



Dropped the sway bar & the steering box.



Plucked the brake booster & master cyl.



Then we popped the motor mounts free, attached a chain to the front of the motor.



Then we shoved a 2x4 under the front pulley to support the engine - worked like a charm!



We dropped the old cross-member out and the frame was bare finally! Really dirty, but free of parts.
