I decided on a body off restoration. I didn't want to regret anything later.

More tear down pics:

Success!

I need a little help, I can't seem to get this apart! I first put the frame up on jacks, then jacked up the lower A arm and loosened the castle nut about a 1/4 inch, lowered the jack and beat it to death with a 3 pound hammer and also tried a pickle fork. Any suggestions? As you can see, I gave up and just cut the spring with a grinder. I re-attached it to the wheel and tried beating on it some more. HELP! I still have the other side to do.

looks like he's doing a good job!

ruffrida2005 · 03-26-2010, 10:18 PM

you got anyway to put a little heat to it. There was someone that has the same problem and had a thread about it

jjaction1 · 03-29-2010, 01:25 PM

I got the crossmember removed.

With the help of a "little" PB Blaster of course.

jjaction1 · 03-29-2010, 01:30 PM

Got the trailing arms removed from the frame and from the rear axle. Those U-bolts were something else, can you say hernia?

jjaction1 · 03-29-2010, 01:34 PM

Yeah, it's almost ready to get sandblasted and powder coated!

Finally, a naked frame!!!

jjaction1 · 04-16-2010, 05:06 PM

Off to get powder coated!

jkb · 04-20-2010, 06:52 PM

How long did it take to get blasted and powdercoated?

**chev-obsession** · 04-20-2010, 08:59 PM

It was $548 for them to blast and powder coat the frame and the other miscellaneous parts.

We moved from Columbus, GA to Walla Walla, WA when I was 5 years old. I spent plenty of time in the Tri-Cities, it was the "big city" for us.

Wow, that's pretty good. I was quoted $675 for a disassembled but clean frame; front, middle, upper-shock, plus the 2 rear c.members; trucks arms + brackets; cab mounts; & bumper brackets (by a company in Royce City/Rockwall area).

That was blasting & satin black powder.

He left it to my Dad when he passed away in 1975 and he has just passed it on to me in 2009.

Here is the first picture I have with me and the truck

Here is me in the lower left with my sister and cousins after the first new paint job

Here she's covered with all that Washington snow

Finally, she made it to Texas

I just love stuff like this.
