Re: Big Bird - 1972 Longhorn K30
My plan is eventually make it into a dump truck. A few things I have left out on the front conversion is the radiator mount holes line up on a '72 frame. It is a tight fit. I drilled holes out to 7/16 then put ALL the bolts in then tighten it up. If you don't do so the bolt holes don't line up exact. I also went back and looked on the first page and noticed I wasn't very clear on how I drilled the rear holes for the rear hangers of the front springs. I cut out the same location on my donor frame. Then lined the holes for the cab mount and drilled out the 1 7/8 hole for bushing block. Hopefully that makes sense. I will add a few more close up pictures to show what holes I welded up. I welded up the holes before I got far enough in 7dee2's thread and noticed I welded the hole that can be used to put the brake lines through. I will post the route I am going to go now.
