Luckily I kept this piece from my original fenders

62stepside longbox · 05-18-2016, 12:14 AM

here is the fender all welded up, it just need to be ground smooth but it turned out pretty nice

Thanks Scott, it may be a while until it's on the road since I think I'm going to do the crossmember swap, power brakes and power steering first.

62stepside longbox · 05-21-2016, 03:05 AM

Did lot of work on taking the 78 apart and I struck it rich lol. Found a bunch of change in the ashtray. I'm looking forward to seeing what is hiding under the seat, allready found a couple wrenches.

TJ's Chevy · 05-21-2016, 10:05 AM

Maybe you'll become a millionaire!

Haha we'll see

62stepside longbox · 05-22-2016, 09:06 PM

Got the 4spd removed from the 78 yesterday. This was quite the event since the trans (sm465) weighs 175 lbs and with the bellhousing it probably weighs 200 and I pulled it myself using just a regular jack and a ratchet strap. At least it's over with. I also got the steering box removed and it took a while since the pitman arm was stuck to the centre link.

62stepside longbox · 05-23-2016, 09:16 PM

I got a ton done today, I removed the front fenders, inner fenders, core/rad/grille support, brake booster and master cylinder, distribution block and brake lines. Then I got the crossmember all unbolted and removed it as well. This pic is after I scraped all the grease off

62stepside longbox · 05-23-2016, 09:18 PM

I sraped a lot of grease off the crossmember, it weighed in at 2lbs

62stepside longbox · 05-23-2016, 09:41 PM

These are the rims I'm going to be using, they are 5 lug 16" stealies

Valarius_Starchaser · 05-23-2016, 10:37 PM

Nice work that thing will be a pile of parts before you know it!

But as we all know taking them apart is the easy part

Could not agree with you more

Johnny_Lamebridge · 05-24-2016, 09:55 AM

Nice progress!

You must've got a super deal on the donor truck after deducting all the spare change you found.

**66ChevyMax** · 05-24-2016, 11:14 AM

Nice work and I am digging your energy, it's contagious

the pride you have when you can drive this truck will be over the top.

Great job!!!!!
