Re: Off Frame build for my younger brother 1973 c10
Doing a frame off myself. I took a ton of pictures but managed to miss some areas. be sure to document every bolt and bracket coming off with pictures

Re: Off Frame build for my younger brother 1973 c10
Thanks for all the props.....But the only thing we are use from this truck is the rolling chassis. the bed,and cab, front clip will not be re-used. I even have the original engine 454....He has a 78 thats been painted and the body is pretty straight...frame is not that great....so we're swapping everything over. I post some pics of the 78 later tonight....

Re: Off Frame build for my younger brother 1973 c10
That is too bad. That body looks really clean. I love the stock hub caps.

Re: Off Frame build for my younger brother 1973 c10
we had to scuff the frame so primer would grab. We used DPX epoxy primer from ppg in order to make it work, turns out you can't spray self etching on top of gem rust.
