Driveline reinstalled, cab is back on. We’ll spend the rest of the week lining up body panels. And next week French the headlights, repair the roof, and try to get it in color.

Re: Orson the 49 GMC ~ Chris C.

Today they’ll be setting the core support height and standing up the bed and figuring out how to get that steel bed out of it.

Re: Orson the 49 GMC ~ Chris C.

NorCalGal; thank you

Rickysnicker; Emma no longer works for me. Not sure what happened she just kinda quit answering her phone. I assume she quit. I now employ both my sons. They are responsible (with guidance) for anything that comes out of my shop. I have been on house arrest for two months and will remain so indefinitely in the VA home.

Re: Orson the 49 GMC ~ Chris C.

We finally managed to get that diamond plate floor out of the bed, but when we did we realized there was no angle iron on the bedsides. Now our steel suppler is 35 miles away, so I sent Alex this morning. The last picture is of the core support mounted.

Re: Orson the 49 GMC ~ Chris C.

Will you document the flipping of the leaf springs and alignment with the bed sides?
I will be doing this to mine when the times comes.
