Re: 67 short fleet

Some progress. Removed an upper control arm and blasted it and have the new bushing kit mocked up. Removed the engine today. Hope to get the frame to the body shop soon for the repair.

Re: 67 short fleet

A little progress over the weekend. Next stop for the frame is a frame machine to fix some previous damage.

Re: 67 short fleet

Stripped my truck frame of the rear end and all the front suspension today to flip it to do some welding on the trailing arm mount cross member. I added 4 inch rings so I can run my exhaust through them. Hope to blast it soon.

Re: 67 short fleet

2 coats of Rust Seal on one frame rail. I decided to coat the frame in sections.

Re: 67 short fleet

Slow but sure progress. I had the frame completely coated with rust seal and did not like the satin finish, so I scuffed the frame down, recoated with another coat of rust seal then topped it off with 2 coats of black top flat. What a pain in the ass! I don't like haw loose the front springs are when it is off the ground, seems like there should be a limit or something.

No, I don't think it would do much good with the 3" lowering springs.

Re: 67 short fleet

I picked up a 2005 5.3 LM7 and a 4L60e within the last few months. Slow but sure progress. Picked up a LS6 intake. I've been working on the harness. I need to set one of my cabs on the frame to figure out where the engine will sit.
