They say it will adhere great to bare metal. We'll find out soon enough I guess. Here are some pics for the picture police. New steering and suspension pieces, blasted and painted spindles, sway bar, etc.... Also got all new ball joints, sway bar bushings, etc that arent pictured. Hope to have it painted, engine and trans installed, fuel tanks installed (although I've been debating just using one tank for simplicity reasons, what do you guys think?)rolling again this weekend. Then during the week I'll try to reinstall the cab, bed and front clip and she'll be all in one piece again, I hope.

Looks nice Josh. What sandblaster did you use? I'm thinking of getting mine done. I talked to a company that does on-site soda blasting for the body but I would think the frame needs something more abrasive.

79gmc5.3 · 05-21-2010, 03:33 PM

Looking good Josh! I with everyone else, I would have been hard pressed to take that truck apart. But she will look great. Keep it up.

Sorry I missed your comment earlier, I took it to a place called Top-Coat. They're off Glenwood Ave. $200 to blast everything.

menace121978 · 05-21-2010, 10:02 PM

dang buddy! you are moving on this baby! congrats on the progress... your going to be done before i even get my cab back on

STOCKISH · 05-21-2010, 10:07 PM

Probably not that quick but if I let it sit too long I'll get bored and start thinking about other things. Hows your cab coming buddy? Cant wait to see it with all that nice shiney paint on it.

menace121978 · 05-21-2010, 10:14 PM

its in prison...

i'm tired of waiting. its been almost a month. going to light a fire under him soon

mcbassin · 05-21-2010, 10:38 PM

Looking Great! Keep it up!

STOCKISH · 05-22-2010, 05:11 PM

Well, it's black again. Hoping to reassemble the rolling chassis after my little one goes to bed tonight or maybe tomorrow at the latest.

Then put the drivetrain and tanks in, etc, etc...

VA72C10 · 05-22-2010, 05:30 PM

Looking very nice. Going to be a really sweet truck all back together!!!

Edit: It was already a really sweet truck.....going to be AWESOME now!!!

baclay9 · 05-22-2010, 05:39 PM

WOW! That looks great man. This has convinced me to use that chassis paint. So did you end up using 2 whole quarts? Did you just brush it on? Good job.

JohnC · 05-22-2010, 06:47 PM

Looks awesome man!

STOCKISH · 05-22-2010, 08:30 PM

Used one quart. I am not as happy with the results as the last time because I used a cheap brush and you can see more of the brush marks. But it is already as hard as a rock and I figure I can spray it later to give it a nicer look if I want. I think it'll be just fine for a driver. Thanks for all the nice words fellas.

STOCKISH · 05-23-2010, 04:59 PM

Well it rolls again.

I didnt do anything with the rear yet because I still need to rebuild and regear it so I will clean and paint it at the shop when I do that. Heres the pics!

JohnC · 05-23-2010, 05:21 PM

AWESOME!!!!!

Those are "right click save" pics right there.

VA72C10 · 05-23-2010, 06:33 PM

Looking great! You're making great progress on it!!!

baclay9 · 05-23-2010, 07:35 PM

Good job man. Watching you is making me want to get started so bad.

mcbassin · 05-23-2010, 07:58 PM

Looking good! Coming together nicely!

STOCKISH · 05-23-2010, 08:14 PM

Thanks guys, been a busy and long day so I'm not sure if the drivetrain will go back in tonight or not but by tomorrow at the latest. Still debating running one tank or not. What do you guys think. If I had the wiring for a 87 from the firewall back it would sure be alot easier.

menace121978 · 05-23-2010, 08:17 PM

AWESOME! getting after it I see

looks sweet brother

menace121978 · 05-23-2010, 08:20 PM

i'd keep the duel tanks buddy... that way when you get to a half tank just switch it over so your not worring about not having the '87's baffles. and think about the gas tank door needing filled and the tank switch on the dash too. just my couple pennies
