Well I got a ton done today but ran out of time.
Cab and Bed off
all frame cross members removed
front end removed
rear end removed

Just gotta get the frame rails cut bolted up and out for coating

Next on the list rebuild the rear end
get the frame together and get the wheels on it

yeah especially since my buddy couldn't deal with the air hammer noise so I had to pound them out with a hammer lol

Was fun though.

I did run into one issue the rear end is apparently out of a 90's chevy truck I think.

Its a 9.5 inch 14 bolt I tried to run the numbers but found nothing.

Valhalla · 07-29-2011, 02:13 AM

rear end taken apart
all holes drilled for new Porterbuilt stuff
mocked up all the parts and its ready for powder.

looking good man... Since you are doing the drop member are you going with rack n pinion? didnt see that in the pic of parts.

67chev_4x4 · 07-29-2011, 04:16 AM

good looking truck man cant wait to see some more pictures.

**67cheby** · 07-29-2011, 09:28 AM

Been putting in some time. Had to take a day off after nearly grinding off my pointer finger, gashing the front with a cut off wheel and then sledge hammering my knee. It was an injury laden day for me lol ..

Yeah its is still in the box. Got the whole setup man. I debated the rack but after thinking about it I couldn't resist. Such a better steering system and looks so clean compared to the gear box.

Valhalla · 08-02-2011, 07:26 PM

got it all out to the powder coaters today. Time to be lazy and enjoy my days off fishing for a week or two.

iehotrod · 08-03-2011, 12:36 AM

looks like a lot of fun...

VA72C10 · 08-03-2011, 12:39 AM

Going to be super nice!!!

offlimts502 · 08-03-2011, 02:23 AM

Me either I am only 30 days into it and have got a lot done. Hopefully I can keep the pace. I had a large un expected expenditure come in the area of 8.5k so that will take some wind out of my sails for a bit. But the powder coater will need 2 weeks due to the back log they currently And I am gonna just take a nice 2 week break on top of that so not much will be done for a month.

funkytechmonkey · 08-15-2011, 10:47 PM

any update?

Yeah I though about that but with the custom orange bed liner underneath I didn't want it to look like Halloween under there. Dark Charcoal metallic will look much better for my liking on the rails and give it a bit of flare with the silver metallic.

Valhalla · 08-20-2011, 05:03 AM

Scchweeeeeeeeeeeeeet I get my frame back tomorrow.

**67cheby** · 08-20-2011, 08:52 AM

soon Brotha Soon. I work weekends so I will pic the frame up tuesday at 9 and then its all about the rebuild. Gonna get the frame back together and then rebuild the rear end and buy wheels.

Once the rear axle is set I will plumb all the lines and post a bajillion pics.

**67cheby** · 08-22-2011, 09:25 AM

LOL...cant wait

Valhalla · 08-24-2011, 12:33 AM

Well gotta finish rebuilding the rear end before I put it all back together so the frame is not just taking up a ton of space at my buddies shop plus it gives me time to order the wheels. . But the powder work is amazing best I have seen.

VA72C10 · 08-24-2011, 12:44 AM

very nice!!!
