progress
We have made good use of the winter break and the good weather, finished stripping the frame and off to powder coating and back already. We reinstalled the rearend, and most of the front end, just waiting for a few parts tomorrow. Installed the rear brake lines and today we picked up the cab after it was sealed with PPG epoxy and will be dropping it off with the painter tomorrow night, the bed is already there along with the fenders, hood, cowl, doors and tailgate but the cab will be first. All the sheet metal turned out great from the blasting, no rust and all new seam sealer. We will try to get the suspension done this week and get the front tires back on, drop the engine back in, we gave her a new coat of paint, new Summit pans for the engine and trans and a new polished water pump, along with lots of new seals to hopefully solve the small oil leak it developed in the first 2500 miles.
