Re: '72 C3500 GMC flatbed project

More progress

Naked Dually


Lift frame with all deck mounting brackets fitted and tack welded


Mounting brackets (haven't made new wood spacer blocks yet)



Subframe mounted to chassis hopefully for the final time



Lift frame in place with all brackets welded (also added fish plates, no pics though)



Setting the deck back on ... clearly this is why I bought a tractor


And all put back together.


Next thing to tackle is a rear hitch / bumper and lights, and getting the hydraulics all squared away. The silver is a cold galvanizing compound - this was a new product for me to use and I'm very happy with the results thus far.
