Beautiful Day for Truck Work - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

**Palf70Step** · 12-14-2002, 04:19 PM

One of those days when it is really nice to be in the south. Disassembly began today. It's not going to be a total frame off, but I'm going to try and do as much as I can. Goal is to be reassembled by End of September. Maybe no exterrior paint, but drivable for Crusing the Coast.

Oh this is the adverse conditions I had to work in today. This is the in the serious shade temp

This is what I got through today. First time going this far on her. Definitely a learning experience. Man the trash that you can find in the cowl and hidey holes after 30 years.

**Palf70Step** · 12-14-2002, 04:22 PM

Last pic for today. She's all tucked away for visions of a clean frame, fresh paint ed frame and engince compartment, and a non-rusty front end.

Have a good one all. Feels really good when you make progress.

Looks like you had some fun, alright... I'm new at this, is there a reason why you started at the front? I took the box off first for some instant gratification, lol...

It was almost as warm here in ND as it was there! Go El Nino! (SP?)

Sweet!

My truck is still sitting in the driveway with a major antifreeze leak out the intake.. it needs to be fixed but it's storming like heck outside, whole town is flooded.. sucks.

Raven Lunatic · 12-16-2002, 05:56 PM

I used a nut splitter, I figure nuts and bolts are cheaper than knuckles... chiseled the first one and damn near broke my hand with the ballpeen...
