Well I had another set back today, the throwout bearing in my wife's mustang went out so I had to work on the F@rd before I could play with my truck. I got the tranny and clutch pulled out and I'm gonna throw it back in tomorrow night. I've been waiting for it to go out because it has been rumbling for awhile now, I just hoped that it would wait till I got my truck back in one piece. Oh well, at least I bought the clutch about a month ago so it won't get into my truck budget (which isn't much ). Here's a picture of the 'Stang just because I know you guys like pictures even if it isn't of a GM.



And here is a picture of my Tahoe which also delayed me last week when it got to ride a tow truck home and then I got to change the fuel pump:



Anyways I wanted to post up the pictures of what I got done yesterday, I got the rear section of the frame painted along with the 2 crossmembers and the few little brackets. I used plain old rustoleum flat black oil based paint, I got the idea from TCB-1 on here after looking over his thread. He said it holds up well and it was cheap (I think it was $8.97 for the quart). I just rolled on 2 coats with a cheapy 3" wide touch up roller from walmart and it turned out looking pretty good. Then I got the frame bolted back together with some grade 8 hardware. So here are the pictures.











I guess I didn't take a picture after I bolted in the rear crossmember, oh well I'll take one tomorrow. Now I just need to get the carrier bearing crossmember cleaned up and painted along with the trailing arms and rear end then I can start to get the suspension bolted up. Oh one more delay was that a guy from airbagit.com called me to let me know that the bags I ordered that were supposed to be here yesterday are back ordered and won't be here till next week even though they sent me an email that it shipped last week! Oh well, I probably won't get that far till then anyways.
