I'm always looking for better ways to do stuff.
Its looking awesome and that Clem is using the extras is a plus!

Scraped some off with a putty knife then wire wheeled with my angle grinder, then soaked with air craft stripper, ran the putty knife back over and then when it dried re-wire wheeled it with my angle grinder, it took me about 4 hours

Mostly they are. The cab mounts & core support mounts are in different locations and might be a bit different and the front frame horns where the bumper mounts to is different. Also, the frame is not indented at the steering box like the 68-72 frames.

Dontcha just love that fresh clean metal feeling? For me, that's where it turns the corner from rusty pos to decent project, ready to move forward. Eagerly await the next installment!

I do, I do, and this glass bead left it so much smoother then the sand that I have done in the past ! I cant wait to start welding in all those LMC Truck patch panels !
