Getting back on track with re-assembly - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Slowly. I wore out my last nozzle for my sandblaster, so I had to wait for a new one to get here, then it took a week and a half to get those 10 front X-member nuts re-copper plated, but now it's happening. Except I seem to have misplaced my torque chart for all the various fasteners. Anyone know where a guy can get another copy of that?
I wanted to have my front end all put back together this weekend, but I don't think I'll get it all done.

Here's some progress pics:

Sandblasted fasteners:

I used the Caswell Black Oxide stuff on them:

I'm glad I got these re-plated. I really like the little splash of color:

Slowly but surely.

Nice eye for detail.

Where did you get the spacers on the upr a-arm studs?

They were there when I took it apart. Is that unusual?

Are you talking about these spacers? then yes that is usual.

Yes those spacers. Mine just had alot of alignment shims. I wasn't for sure if those were original or where to get them.
