Nice work making the poor quality parts fit like they should have out of the box.
Keep it up. |

I know the first gen F-bodies are very different car to car let alone plant to plant so the trucks probably are too. I have owned 14 different first gen Camaro's and every one had pretty significant panel fit issues not due to damage. One car had a passenger side quarter panel that was 1/4" longer than the other side of the car and it was all original with original paint still. |

It's no wonder these aftermarket parts fit well on some trucks and not so well on others. Thanks for the input. (14 Camaro's,,,, lucky dog!):chevy: |

Re: "TANGERINE" (C20 to K10) (LWB to SWB) (CST/MOD) (5.3)
so with these body panels are there different bolt holes and spacers as well? and should i be concerned with front end parts? i.e. front passenger fender for my 72? also if i pulled a front end from a custom c/30 motor-home will it fit on a '69 c/20 camper special?

So I finally got around to de-greasing the engine and the front 1/3 of the frame and suspension.
. http://imageshack.us/a/img42/7715/dsc00174uh.jpg, . . And I went back to work on the core support, instead of just drilling a hole through the core base, I made a slot so I'd have some adjust ability. . http://imageshack.us/a/img402/3420/dsc00169ae.jpg, . . Since the frame is a little long, I cut some off and removed the radiator core support frame mounts. . http://imageshack.us/a/img835/6246/dsc00205if.jpg, http://imageshack.us/a/img62/3829/dsc00198qm.jpg, http://imageshack.us/a/img820/4242/dsc00200wj.jpg, . . |

I mounted the frame mounts to the core support.
. . http://imageshack.us/a/img515/1441/dsc00208xq.jpg, . Then I mounted the core support to the front fenders, and welded the frame mounts back on the frame in the correct location. . http://imageshack.us/a/img526/7196/dsc00212rf.jpg, http://imageshack.us/a/img831/5155/dsc00214o.jpg, . . |

Thanks again guys!!! I had a touch of the walking pneumonia last week but still managed to get some work done on the old girl. It will be nice to have a radiator in her since the HOT weather is almost here. I actually do drive the truck into and out of the shop to work on her, but without the radiator I had to move kinda quick to keep the temp down on the engine. More insanity to come!:metal: |
