As some of you know I had to replace the frame on my 61 4x4 because it was bent. Here are a few progress pics.

More pics. Last one is how she sits now. Waiting on new fender and grille support so I can get the truck in primer.

Yea it would be nice if paint stayed nice and new looking. I used rustoleum hammered it did a nice job. Probably not as good as por-15, but its got to be better than what came stock on the frame.

Are the 4x4 frame rails the same as a 2wd or are they different. I know the suspension is leaf instead of independent. I would like to make my '63 2wd a 4x4 but the only 4x4 frame I can find cheap has rusty rails. I would like to make it look as factory as possible. Can you help me at all?
Thanks
Kevin

I sent you a PM regarding a factory 4x4 K10 rolling chassis & factory running gear in Kansas City, KS.

jchav62 · 02-15-2008, 12:30 AM

Looking awesome!! The chassis looks great. Keep the pics coming!

ryan913 · 02-15-2008, 04:35 AM

Looking great! I had a 66 4 wheel drive and the chassis burned up in a barn fire. Still have the cab and frontend and title unburned! lol

Your post inspired me to start another post of the progress on a '66 Chevy K10 lwb fleetside, I am doing for a fellow stovebolter.

Very nice work on your rig. It looks like you are taking your time and doing a very nice build. Should be a excellent rig when you are done. Don't forget to share photos, so we can all lick our chops, drooling over it.

Keep up the good work.

Thanks Tony! You have some fine trucks!! I really like your black 4x4. Jeremy.

protrash64 · 02-15-2008, 09:51 AM

........Ive used the hammertone paint also and its really tough stuff. Not like standard rattle crap. I see it better in the pic w/ the engine. I used it on my headlite buckets, rear end cover. and some brackets for seats. When some parts didnt want cooperate I was a little rough on them and the paint hung in there.
