My grandson helped me get this far, but unforntuatly he moved to new york. I will try and get the pictures caught up to the progress I have done to the truck. I have learned so much from this forum.

Well I didn't get much done on the truck this weekend, the sun is out and I had yard work to get done. I did manage to strip the frame down more.

Update I got my frame stripped and painted. I'm going to try and remember how to post pictures. It's been slow going for a year. But I'm on track now. Got most of my parts from LMC. I set a goal of together but not painted. 08-14

Looks good.

Are you using a phone to take pics? If so hold it the other way...if not, I dunno.

Sometimes when you post the pictures from your phone the pictures will rotate the first time you post them, just edit the picture by rotating it once and save it. Then edit it again and rotate it again to how it was originally taken and save it and then try and post it again. Sounds like I'm making it up but it happens to me quite a bit and that is what works for me.

Here are a couple of pics that will give a idea of how I lifted my cab off the frame.

Go to your build page and copy the website/link and go to your "user control panel" and then go to "edit signature" and paste the link from your build on your signature page then save it.

Wow, you've done some excellent work so far.

Your's is the same color my "69 stepside was (white over red now). I always thought someone had painted it with turquois and did a poor job. Especially when there was white underneath the turquois I assumed the truck was originally white since interior metal was white and engine cowl was white. Or had your truck been repainted turquois too?

Got my gas tank all lined up and the filler cap is going to line up with the boards perfect.

I got set of 18" on loan for mock-up to see if I will like the size.

I opened my box that has my grill in it from LMC. And this is what I found, I called them they want pictures of the box and grill so I sent them. It was not damaged in shipping, you can see the box has no marks on it. Hope I can get this fixed.

Your doing a excellent job on your project. LMC isnt the only company that has grille issues if it makes the situation any less worse. I don't live far from a LMC competitor and occasionally make it in there. I once seen 4 69-70 grilles in the clearance parts corner that customers had returned due to blemishes.

Got a little bit more done last night. Now I got to get my springs in, put some weight on it so I can get my spindles and disc breaks on.

Good idea for the poor man's hoist! I did something very similar in my condo when installing the new hot water tank onto a stand.

In fact, the pics of your hoist inspire me to frame-off restore my own truck! And I think I see how to do it!

One step forward and four back. Seems when you buy the drop spindle you need the newer balljoint. I think 71-72 balljoint, got some coming from the local parts store. Ran out of chassis paint, ordered some from jegs and its back ordered. Haven't heard from LMC on the grill yet, think I might give them a call Monday.
