Re: Project coming along.
We got a donor truck. A 78 silverado and put the front end on it. This gives us disc brakes, rubber bushings and power steering. We put all new bushing, ball joints and tie rods in it.
![]() Frame is ready to go to MX ![]() Went down to MX to check progress ![]() ![]() |

Re: Project coming along.
No, it's an 8'. (Note that it's a six lug/half ton with semi-float rear axle; only one tons came with 9' beds - 8 lugs and FF rear.)
Here's a similar shot of my 9' truck for reference. |

Re: Project coming along.
9 FT stepsides rock!!!! LOL! But that 8 footer almost can be mistaken for a 9 footer. They are neat.
