Plans are for full air ride-sd notch out back on the factory two link with blocks...this was a lwb truck i was putting together but for safety's sake I wanted a decent swb frame to work with so now the fun starts! I've already done a lot of paint work and stuff but i'd like to finish this thing out by summer. This is where I was at with the project when I decided to go with this new frame....

By chance, do any of you guys know a good sand-media blaster near mansfield or fort worth? I'm tired of trying to bust off this concrete like crap!

PB5, eeeyyy

I believe that's a Chrysler color. My truck is painted a Chrysler blue as well.;)

Re: 72 SWB layin frame
 
HAHA-yeah we obviously shop the same! And yes PB5 is the electric blue from chrysler-I picked it because of the pearl and it was an easy mix....181 grams of fine satin i believe! I found a sand blaster in mansfield, talked to him today..he is going to clean my crap up on monday for cheap.....the frame is painted and under the cab! I will post pics as soon as it warms up enough to walk outta the door! I'm thinkin about moving this thread to a build thread, what do you guys think?

Painter D 11-21-2008 09:06 PM

Re: 72 SWB layin frame
 
Yes ,I would move this one, or start a build thread.

This is where I will be taking my frame. I hear they are very reasonable.

Re: Project "Nympho"
 
Thanks everyone for the support, I'm on hold for now until I can find a lower control arm, apparently mine in trashed from years of abuse....so now I'm on the parts hunt..if anyone knows where I can pick one up cheap-close to free is great-hit me up...Thanks...also I'll post pics up of the frame tomorrow!

There's some wrecking yards here locally that I've bougt control arms from, for as cheap as 40$ a piece. They even pulled them for me so I didn't have to get dirty.

mycool72 11-23-2008 11:36 PM

Re: Project "Nympho"
 
Looks like another member is going to sell me a set of upper and lowers already blasted for cheap! And he's local! I love this damn place!

Ok, so a lil update on the truck....I've been working pretty hard on getting it back together and this is where i'm at. I still need to do A LOT! As money comes, I will keep moving foward, however I have a ton of cleaning to do...years and years of dirt= concrete on everything!

I've been working a lot on the wiring lately, someone has previously hacked it up pretty good! I will take some pics next time the truck is outside...but for now...here's my 05!

Just kidding, can't get anything to upload, I will resize and retry...laterz:metal:
