^ no joke.

This is so cool, I've never seen someone take apart the frame! Really cool that you have the original hood ornament.

Sorry so slow to reply.....basically, where the brackets come up, drill holes on either side so that a bolt will be just above the springs...using a sleeve to keep the bracket from squeezing together.

The exhaust, frame, suspension is looking really good! Hooker has a nice set up with their exhaust.

What is the truck in the back ground of the first picture in post 62? Good looking stepper!

Calvin,
I noticed this on the 1981 C10 parts truck I bought. This is what I will be doing.

Take care,

Barry

Got everything stripped off the cab so I can get it down to bare metal.

Super clean build here. Really like the re creation of an uncommon model, and the family history. How cool. I look forward to watching the process and am subscribed!
