Talked with the sand blaster today and the frame and suspension components should be blasted and primed by tomorrow. I hope to have pictures in a couple of days.

chevy88 · 01-18-2011, 10:38 PM

I'm subscribed to this one as this I am just getting to my cab repairs.

RCbowtie69 · 01-19-2011, 09:07 PM

just want to say,no i have not use the fenders yet, i've found out the passenger side fender has been replaced at some time,when who knows,keep in touch,like to help U

brn agn · 01-23-2011, 02:26 PM

I have a little update today. We got the frame parts back from the sand blaster. He blasted the frame, control arms, cross member and trailing arms. He also primed everything for us. Geoff and I decided to use the Extreme Chassis Black Paint from Eastwood and we are using the matching primer as well. Here is what the frame looked like before:

...and here is what it looks like now:

Misc parts before:

...and after:

The next step is to paint everything and begin the assembly process. It will be nice working with parts that are not covered in grease and rust.

gcburdic · 01-23-2011, 05:44 PM

72BlckButy · 01-23-2011, 06:24 PM

Amazing what a little sand and paint can do.

RCbowtie69 · 01-23-2011, 06:50 PM

looking good,keep pictures coming,have not use fenders yet

redbaron69 · 01-23-2011, 07:14 PM

nice progress guys. working with a nice clean foundation makes all those busted knuckles getting it apart, a distant memory

is that a 67/68 frame? the hole in the core support looks small. keep up the great work.

Good eye! It is a 67 frame. We are either going to open the hole up in the mounts or use 67 core support bushings.

redbaron69 · 01-23-2011, 10:23 PM

if i had known before you got it all painted, i got a bent up 71 frame that i getting the 5 lug stuff from, and would have sent you the core support mounts. but none the less it looking good.

mcbassin · 01-24-2011, 12:49 AM

Man, that frame turned out great! At the rate you're going it will be done way before mine!

Terry...we thought about using the ones we had but read we could use 67/68 rad bushing to make the 71/72 rad support work.....Thanks for the offer though
