Re: 69 GMC Build, 20s, Full Frame, LS, Bagged, Bodied
The steering column is supposed to arrive this week as well, I think we are going to tackle getting the dash fit after the back wall is completed. We just need to head to the parts yard in between the snowstorms to find some seats that will work.

Re: 69 GMC Build, 20s, Full Frame, LS, Bagged, Bodied
We got the tunnel finished, floor patched back in and partially welded last night. Needs to be flipped and welded from the bottom but we will wait until the back wall is in place. Jason also picked up some bucket seats yesterday from a G6.
New seats: |

Re: 69 GMC Build, 20s, Full Frame, LS, Bagged, Bodied
Got the back wall cut out enough to make the new panels and fit them. Lots of trimming left on the back wall before they can be tacked in but its a good step in the right direction. I wish whoever attempted to swap floors in the past hadn't hacked the wall up so bad before, would have made our lives a lot easier!
Wall cut out: Jason pre-stretching the panel before bead rolling: First panel clecoed on: Both panels clecoed on: |

Sheetmetal work looks awesome. What CAD program did you draw your frame on?

Re: 69 GMC Build, 20s, Full Frame, LS, Bagged, Bodied
And we're back! The back wall of the cab has been full welded, so we started on getting the dash in. To do that we had to get the seat and steering column mocked up.
Brake booster and column mounted in the firewall You can see the column mount inside the cab. We reused mount for the stock column and built from there. The new steering wheel showed up just in time yesterday too. We made a lip for the front of the dash to sit on. |

Re: 69 GMC Build, 20s, Full Frame, LS, Bagged, Bodied
After trimming 6 inches or so out of the front of the dash and test fitting it, we cut it in half and got the drivers side clecoed on.
And then measured the passenger side to match and clecoed that in. The dash is going in alot easier than we expected, what do you guys think? More to come... |

Re: 69 GMC Build, 20s, Full Frame, LS, Bagged, Bodied
Wow you guys really went all out on this one. How did you go about building the frame? Is it all fabbed up on a jig or did you guys just measure a ton and cut and weld accordingly? I have tossed around the idea of building my own frame but never knew where to start.

Re: 69 GMC Build, 20s, Full Frame, LS, Bagged, Bodied
Thanks for all the compliments everyone!
Quote:
Once I had the front and rear rails drawn, we double checked the measurements vs the stock frame. Those checked out ok, and I was able to break them down into lengths of what we needed to cut. I think there were 38 pieces total to build the frame. After we had all that we built a frame table so we had a level surface to work off of and built the left and right side, squared them up and welded them together. If you look at the first page of thread, you can see most of the progression in the pictures. EDIT: The links to the photos are broken in the first post, Ill get that fixed.

Re: 69 GMC Build, 20s, Full Frame, LS, Bagged, Bodied
You guys are doing a great job. Starting to make me feel bad for wanting to part my truck out cause I know it could be just as nice as your guys.
