Thanks Guyz...:mm:

Got the '85 crossmember mounted and the frame rolling...:metal:
still need to reattach the P/S adapter and box… but gotta change oil in the daily driver and help the boy with his fiance's car...:uhmk:

Re: Donz '65 SWB Stepper Budget Build...
 

Nice frame!:metal::metal: I think I have seen it before.

Re: Donz '65 SWB Stepper Budget Build...
 

You getting there dude.

Re: Donz '65 SWB Stepper Budget Build...
 

Front cross member slide in pretty easy? I'm using a '79. One drilled hole on each side.
Looking really good there Don.

Re: Donz '65 SWB Stepper Budget Build...

Re: Donz '65 SWB Stepper Budget Build...
 

Thanks Brotha, and I do believe you have...:lol:

Thanx Brother! :uhmk:

Easy fit… other than getting some assistance in dragging the frame into place, this was a one man job. On mine however, I have to drill one hole on each side, elongate one hole on each side, and drill a hole to properly mount the newer Center-Link. :mm:

Yessir, gotta clean and paint this frame before re-assembly begins...:metal:

Thanks Mate!!! I will post a similar pic once i trade out the rear-end… I'm aiming to have a bit of rake...:metal:
Need to remove the trailing arm set-up from the bent frame and use it to replace the :gmc2: leaf spring set-up… ;) I've already had the GM 12 Bolt axles re-worked into the five lug set-up and the Dana rear-end on the GMC has different rear axles...:waah: No worries just gotta grind a bunch of rivets and buy suitable Grade 8 hardware to re-install on the straight frame.

Re: Donz '65 SWB Stepper Budget Build...
 

Here's a shot of the bent frame waiting for rear-end dis-assembly...:uhmk:

Re: Donz '65 SWB Stepper Budget Build...
 

Thanks for the text earlier, I will try to give Clem a call later.

Re: Donz '65 SWB Stepper Budget Build...
 

Just checking in and saying howdy! Nice progress.

Re: Donz '65 SWB Stepper Budget Build...
 

just checking in on you don! I would leave the trailer arms connected to the rearend, so when you have to roll it around it makes it a lil easier to maneuver, gives you a lil bit of leverage on uneven ground! had to do the same to mine with I did all that!! with the holidays, kids in school, and all the overtime I'm getting, along with other side projects, honey-do's! haven't really done anything to my truck in awhile, but look at it, lol!!

Re: Donz '65 SWB Stepper Budget Build...
 

Chekin in brotha. Good work. :chevy:

Re: Donz '65 SWB Stepper Budget Build...

Nicola says this would make a Great Wall size enlargement.

Especially if you have it in high res.
