Re: 1981 Chevrolet C50 Pick-up Conversion

The truck is officially ready for primer, everything is sanded, straightened etc.

I am planning on priming the truck on Saturday.

In the mean time I wanted to see what I was up against for shortening the truck. I am planning on moving the differential and springs and hangers forward.

So with that in mind, I have to cut rivets..... The other night I got out my CH air hammer, and nothing... ha.

I ended up cutting a rivet head off with a torch... and thought I could push it out... no luck.

I ended up buying a CP and man, what a difference. It cut the rivet heads off like sheet metal, and poped those pins out like a 12 guage. It took about a half an hour to zip off a shackle. I am impressed.
