Since the engine is still out - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Well I figured since the engine was still out, I might as well take this time to clean up the frame rails and suspension/steering. Here is my start.

Funny how things happen, I just want to rebuild the motor. Then I go for the transmission. Now Suspension/steering. Wife said though that this is it. All of it has to be done before I continue on with anything else.

That is great! Does she know you call her that? My wife wouldn't go for it...

Zable49 · 01-23-2014, 04:38 PM

Oh yeah she knows, and she doesn't care since she knows where it came from.
