[57taskforce]

Ok… time to get a little more serious on this one. I pulled the front clip off of it tonight to assess the steering box area frame repair. It’s not good. I’ll have to basically do the same repair I did to my K20 except it’s gonna have to get the holes for the front crossmember re drilled on one side. Id love to kick some idiots ass for the way this thing was repaired and then run for a long long time with no front crossmember at all. I’m going to snap some pictures tomorrow… in short, the time has come for this truck to begin to rise again.


Edit: here’s some daytime pics of what I’ve got to start with. The truck is going to the same shop where I did a lot of the early work on my K20 in the next month or so. I’m going to pull the bed and inspect the rear frame rails as well. Then once at the shop I’m going put the ORD frame repair plates on it as well as fixing some small rust holes in the passenger cab corner, passenger toe board, front passenger floor support, and passenger outer cowl. For some reason the passenger side rusted a little more than the driver side. All repairs are pretty minor, not even requiring patch panels.
