Got two big accomplishments done
Well I finally got some major miles stones done.
1) I now have a rolling chassis!! ![]() 2) I came up with a name for my truck "Snowball" The reason is it started out as take the sheet metal off for painting. But Resulting in: -Finding out the frame was tweeked. So I replaced the '67 with a '71 -Converting it to a SWB -Relocating the gas tank to the rear -Converting the rear axle to five lug -Converting the rear to disc brake -Adding front and rear anti-sway bars -Blasting the frame and painting it -Replacing all the suspension components So as you can see the name fits. Now I just need to get the passenger door cleaned up. The bottom inside corners are rotted out, had at least three different mirrors on it and it took a hit in it. After dealing with repro parts I'd rather put the time in fixing the door than fighting with a repro parts. ![]() |

Will do Sheepdip. One thing I forgot to mention is I also relocated the battery box to the passenger frame rail behind the cab. Didn.t cost me anything as I modified the factory one to work.

Re: Got two big accomplishments done
"Snowball" would be a fitting name for a lot of these trucks, including mine.
Looks like your project is off to a great start!

Re: Got two big accomplishments done
Cool!!! Can't wait to see pictures!!!
My 67 frame is getting replace with a 72. All the pieces are there, but in poor condition, so I already have the 5 lug stuff, Thank You, Lord!!! Mine will have a rear gas tank, before it gets on street, again!!! I prefer long beds, so I won't be copying, you, there!!! I already have a new sway bar, and all the suspension parts... |
