73-87 full-frame build pic's?

I'm trying to get some ideas on building a full frame for my '82 and I was wondering if anyone might have a good collection of pic's stashed away of some full frames being built for 73-87's, preferably with the body off.

I've been Googling, looking at truck show coverage and searching the C10 forums, but not really finding what I'm looking for. Most chassis I come across are for mini trucks or anything but 73-87 C10's.

Thanks!

It's fall and end of show season. So I guess everyone is in the garage too busy working on their trucks, lol.

Re: 73-87 full-frame build pic's?

Never did a truck. But i have been thinking about doing one for my 65. I lost all my pics from when i did a few Vettes and a 69 Nova. The nova was made into a full frame car 4 link custom control arms and coilovers all the way around.

Building a frame isnt bad. The biggest ***** is to have the room for a jig or aleast a flat slab to work from. I wont build with out a jig. I have, But it sucks...

Sorry i cant help more.

Here is the frame for my 68. I built quite a few of these and from some measurements i took it would work for a 73-87.
