The chassis is coming around after several doses of degreaser. I washed the 55 while I was waiting for the degreaser to soak.yeah she's a picture whore.

Re: Arkansas K10
 

Just seeing this Larry, following along now! Do you own Davis construction? I saw that 55 rolling past Fedex today as I was leaving for lunch. Nice car, and this truck is gonna be slick when done.

Re: Arkansas K10
 

Thanks. My kids own controlling interest in the company now and they support my habit. :lol:

Re: Arkansas K10
 

Haha! Good for you. I haven’t seen that red/white two wheel drive around town though, sharp looking truck.

Re: Arkansas K10
 

The 55 is sweet and inspiring ......she can be a ho:)

Re: Arkansas K10
 

I subscribed to your thread on the tri five site.

Re: Arkansas K10
 

The Yoke on the front drive shaft has a Chevrolet orange inspection mark on the u-bolts.

Re: Arkansas K10
 

The front pinion nut has a white inspection mark.

Re: Arkansas K10
 

Frame and associated parts are at the powder coaters. I detailed my first assembly.

Re: Arkansas K10
 

Looking good

Re: Arkansas K10
 

One more assembly detailed (For the most part).

Re: Arkansas K10
 

Larry...thanks for the heads up on this thread. I just don't click into the 4x4 section much...which is stupid, because that's all we do. I'm so pumped about all the inspection markings. Thanks for taking time to document them. I'm especially excited because my K20 is a Fremont truck and I thought I'd have to tone it down a bit on the graffiti...but nope, those trucks got marked up pretty well too it seems. Excited for the follow. Great work so far. Keep it up and thanks for sharing.

Re: Arkansas K10
 

inspiring....I got to get my priorities back in order ...park and cover the 55:)

Re: Arkansas K10
 

Nice frame work other Larry..!!

Re: Arkansas K10
 

If you look closely you can see the orange paint on the u bolt on the left.

Re: Arkansas K10
 

I'll follow, great build so far, can't wait for more, how did you get the drive shaft so shiny?

Re: Arkansas K10
 

Wire brush and Krylon satin clear.

Re: Arkansas K10
 

"X" on the rear differential.

Re: Arkansas K10
 

I picked up the frame and associated parts today from the powder coater. I got the frame positioned over the axles and hope to start assembly tomorrow.

Re: Arkansas K10
 

Looking better than good, looking great. Got a powder coater locally in Harrison or do you have to go a distance? I'm about to call a few around here about some wheels I want to get done.

Re: Arkansas K10
 

Same question for me? Are you using the one down by the 7 north intersection? Across from National Auto Trim? Progress is looking awesome!

Re: Arkansas K10
 

I had this done at Industrial Powder Coating in Mt Home.

The one at HWY 43 and HWY 7 north sold out and is a production operation now. No PC for the public anymore. He said maybe later.

There is a PC at Berryville and one at Nixa, MO.

I am going to take the sheet metal to Mt, Home to get it dustless blasted.

Re: Arkansas K10
 

I just found this. ...Subscribed!!!

Re: Arkansas K10
 

I detailed small parts and final clean on engine transmission and transfer case this week. I committed to pulling the steering column out of the Corvette for rebuilding by Monday so it may be next week before I make more progress here.

Re: Arkansas K10
 

Fuel and brake lines are about all I accomplished this week. dozerbill72 came by this afternoon and gave me approval to forge ahead.
