nice, is that a high hump? I thought those only came in BBC and 4wd's?

Lemield · 07-17-2007, 01:32 PM

Looking good Alex....boy, when you start a teardown, you don't fool around!

That is a REALLY NICE CAB on that old girl!

msgross · 07-16-2007, 07:31 PM

my 68 327 is V0504YX on the block, there is a website around that decodes the block, let me see if I can find it...

That is the nice part of a LWB, you got enough room to slide her back good.
Disassembly going good!

ChevyDude · 07-25-2007, 12:48 PM

Had a little time this morning so I attached a 2x4 to my cherry picker and gently lifted the cab off the frame and put it on a pair of 55 gallon drums. Getting closer to the actual shortening of the frame.

Alex

ChevyDude · 07-26-2007, 06:21 PM

A new ''big-time" shop tool arrives, new Miller 180 !!! Although I know nothing of welding today, I am determined to figure it out. I have wanted a welder for years and just never stepped up and bought one. Done it now! Lots of reading and practice...and then I will shave the firewall.

Lesson 1 - Do Not weld (on purpose or by accidental spatter) your hair or body parts. Trust me, you do not want to know or do it

Get a good auto dimming helmet, good gloves, and lots of patience. It's fun to learn.

ChevyDude · 07-31-2007, 09:48 AM

I do have an auto dimming helmet and a nice set of gloves, very important!

Little progress. Got the firewall down to bare metal, ready to start shaving all the holes. Mr. Miller 180 will be asked to lend a hand doing this....I have to practice first on some scrap like gauged material, that's for sure, don't want any burn through!!! I will be Epoxy priming the bare metal with SPI Epoxy primer.

Just got off the phone with SPI's Barry and his warehouse partner Terry...and the SPI epoxy is on the way!!!

Stepside65 · 07-26-2007, 08:49 PM

Lookin good. Wish mine could be in that good of shape... Keep up the good work man. Looking forward to seeing where this build goes.

**Yukon Jack** · 07-31-2007, 04:42 PM

Good luck learning with the welder. I, too, want to learn to weld! Just need some free time.

Thanks Yukon!!! I am very excited about learning!!! As things work out , it looks as if Glock is going to come down to my shop and do the frame shortening here. He's going to bring his Plasma cutter and use my new Miller 180. I will be watching closely, with a auto darkening helmet on of course!!!

Little more done today. Removed front long bed brackets which are not needed for the short bed, and removed the passenger side rear cab support bracket. This bracket will need to be moved 12" towards the rear. And in true OverKill fashion ground a little on the frame to clean it up, love that clean metal!

Got the drivers side done too....today, Thursday 8/2/07.
Alex

ChevyDude · 08-03-2007, 05:03 PM

FED EX just delivered the SPI Epoxy. Gotta get the welder going. Waiting on the pre cut insert pieces I bought on ebay. Last pic...pre cutting the rear of the frame. Glock reccomends cutting only 6" first as it's easier to cut more than add on. So going to cut the rear of the frame in a min here.

68 short step · 08-03-2007, 05:15 PM

keep the progress pics coming

ChevyDude · 08-03-2007, 05:46 PM

yep!!! Rear frame shortened 6"!!!

ChevyDude · 08-07-2007, 10:10 AM

OK...the frame is now ready for the Glocks Plasma Cutter! Brake/fuel lines removed, bellhousing out, E brake cable gone. I loosened all the bolts for removing the front crossmember as I have a newly rebuilt (MOOG) 71' disc front that will go on after shortening the frame and sandblasting. That's the lastest. Front crossmember, springs, upper and lower A arms are available if someone needs them???

Alex

glock35ipsc · 08-07-2007, 11:56 AM

Alex - Just curious, did you happen to find where the VIN is stamped on the top of the frame under the cab?

One thing you might want to do is to tighten a few bolts on each side of that crossmember until we are finished. It would give me a warm fuzzy to have that end of the frame solid until we are done cutting and moving stuff around. Everything else looks good to go! I think we should be able to knock it out by the end of the month.

faribran · 08-07-2007, 11:56 AM

want to part with the original hubcaps?

ChevyDude · 08-09-2007, 09:47 AM

YES Bob, I found the stamp! Not to worry, I re-tightened two bolts on either side after breaking them loose.

Hup caps are gonzo, sorry.

Cleaned up the outside of the frame in prep for the "shortening". I'll get the insides of the frame rail all cleaned up too!!! Clean metal, Glock's fine welding skills, a soon to be, SWB frame...another piece to the puzzle! ....And completed the wiring for the Miller 180. Nema 220 volt 6-50 Receptical. Made up a 10 gauge 40 ft extention cord with the same 6-50 Nema plug and receptical. Should have plenty of room , space, and cord to do all the welding and cutting needed!!! Makin' progress!

Alex

Stoney · 08-14-2007, 07:16 PM

Project Overkill is looking good.

ChevyDude · 08-15-2007, 11:02 AM

Thanks Stoney. The shortening of the frame is next on the list. Glock is going to be doing the cutting and welding as my welding skills...ahhh, have not been developed ...YET! Glock should be coming down here to my shop to do the job some time before the end of the month. I am looking foward to this next step!!!

Alex

glock35ipsc · 08-15-2007, 11:39 AM

Alex - The power options look great!! As soon as the in-laws get back, I'll have a better idea of when we can proceed.

ChevyDude · 08-15-2007, 11:57 AM

Sounds great!!!

Getting closer to the actual shortening of the frame. Alex Attached Images __________________ Alex 1971 Lil' Red 350 SBC 700R4 Last edited by ChevyDude; 07-25-2007 at 01:04 PM.

Although I know nothing of welding today, I am determined to figure it out. I have wanted a welder for years and just never stepped up and bought one. Done it now! Lots of reading and practice...and then I will shave the firewall. Alex Attached Images __________________ Alex 1971 Lil' Red 350 SBC 700R4

ChevyDude Senior Member Join Date: Jun 2003 Location: Westminster, CO Posts: 3,071	Re: Project OverKill I do have an auto dimming helmet and a nice set of gloves, very important! Little progress. Got the firewall down to bare metal, ready to start shaving all the holes. Mr. Miller 180 will be asked to lend a hand doing this....I have to practice first on some scrap like gauged material, that's for sure, don't want any burn through!!! I will be Epoxy priming the bare metal with SPI Epoxy primer. Just got off the phone with SPI's Barry and his warehouse partner Terry...and the SPI epoxy is on the way!!! www.BakerPBE.com Alex Attached Images __________________ Alex 1971 Lil' Red 350 SBC 700R4 Last edited by ChevyDude; 07-31-2007 at 01:05 PM.

ChevyDude Senior Member Join Date: Jun 2003 Location: Westminster, CO Posts: 3,071	Re: Project OverKill FED EX just delivered the SPI Epoxy. Gotta get the welder going. Waiting on the pre cut insert pieces I bought on ebay. Last pic...pre cutting the rear of the frame. Glock reccomends cutting only 6" first as it's easier to cut more than add on. So going to cut the rear of the frame in a min here. Attached Images __________________ Alex 1971 Lil' Red 350 SBC 700R4 Last edited by ChevyDude; 08-03-2007 at 05:04 PM.

ChevyDude Senior Member Join Date: Jun 2003 Location: Westminster, CO Posts: 3,071	Re: Project OverKill OK...the frame is now ready for the Glocks Plasma Cutter! Brake/fuel lines removed, bellhousing out, E brake cable gone. I loosened all the bolts for removing the front crossmember as I have a newly rebuilt (MOOG) 71' disc front that will go on after shortening the frame and sandblasting. That's the lastest. Front crossmember, springs, upper and lower A arms are available if someone needs them???

glock35ipsc Next project: 1970 K10 Join Date: Feb 2004 Location: Fort Collins, Colo 80524 Posts: 6,685	Re: Project OverKill Alex - Just curious, did you happen to find where the VIN is stamped on the top of the frame under the cab? One thing you might want to do is to tighten a few bolts on each side of that crossmember until we are finished. It would give me a warm fuzzy to have that end of the frame solid until we are done cutting and moving stuff around. Everything else looks good to go! I think we should be able to knock it out by the end of the month. __________________ *Bob* 1970 Chevy K10 LWB "Goldie" 350/TH350 *next project!!* 1981 Chevy C10 LWB 355/TH350 - My son's truck LS SWAP FORUM!

ChevyDude Senior Member Join Date: Jun 2003 Location: Westminster, CO Posts: 3,071	Re: Project OverKill YES Bob, I found the stamp! Not to worry, I re-tightened two bolts on either side after breaking them loose. Hup caps are gonzo, sorry. Cleaned up the outside of the frame in prep for the "shortening". I'll get the insides of the frame rail all cleaned up too!!! Clean metal, Glock's fine welding skills, a soon to be, SWB frame...another piece to the puzzle! ....And completed the wiring for the Miller 180. Nema 220 volt 6-50 Receptical. Made up a 10 gauge 40 ft extention cord with the same 6-50 Nema plug and receptical. Should have plenty of room , space, and cord to do all the welding and cutting needed!!! Makin' progress!

Glock is going to be doing the cutting and welding as my welding skills...ahhh, have not been developed ...YET! Glock should be coming down here to my shop to do the job some time before the end of the month. I am looking foward to this next step!!!
