i see one big problem!!! its in your driveway and not mine... man that is awsome work, congrats,

lowrollin70gmc · 03-12-2008, 11:36 AM

Wow, I can't wait to see what the rest of the pickup looks like if that frame is what's underneath.

I see a very nice restoration happening there,real nice. Thank you for posting those pics.

for the one asking about the steering link/center link,they are extremely close to the crossmember with wheels straight and move away slightly as you steer left and right. Its common for a person to tear down a frt end like that and place the center link on backwards with it being further away from the crossmember. Make sure yours looks like the pics above as his is clearly showing the correct spot.

Maybe the picture of my center link will help you?

It literally sits maybe 1/4" off of the crossmember.

They are plasticote cast blast #285 I think. The manifolds are high heat por-15 Manifold gray. They have not cured yet and should lighten up some.

EAST SIDE LOW LIFE · 03-13-2008, 07:42 AM

Very nice work to say the least! I have a question .... are you going to be putting inspection markings on your frame and suspension? Again great work.

esll.

lowrollin70gmc · 03-13-2008, 08:54 AM

You'll like the manifold gray, I used it on new, prepped manifolds and have had to adhesion problems to date. A word though, it will smoke slightly when you first fire it up, but that's just curing the coating.

Weave1... Is this the thingamajig your talking about? I don't have any more pics, but mine is very close to the cross member too. I think it will be fine once the front end is aligned and tightened up.

WOW ,

is this a before picture of your front end ?

if so that is an amazing transformation.

Great job

Yes, I will put all the inspection marks on. I am still doing research on where all the marks go and I need to buy a kit with all the different colors and stuff.

Big time finishing touch. I'm glad to hear that you are doing it, your rolling chasis is so nice it dererves the real deal. Looking forward to seeing more of your truck. [LOL]

esll.

Brad · 03-14-2008, 01:23 PM

Ok, since you asked and nobody has mentioned this yet, I see a serious problem with your work:

it's not in my garage!!!

Nice work man, nice work!

shaneschevys · 03-14-2008, 07:37 PM

Very nice!! I cant wait to see it finished.

toms68cst · 03-14-2008, 08:08 PM

Almost a shame to put a body on it!

Nice work.

Zumo · 03-14-2008, 08:58 PM

Better than new.

RCbowtie69 · 03-15-2008, 06:00 AM

looking good

BurnoutNova · 03-15-2008, 06:07 AM

that looks awesome! i wish i had the time and place to do that to my K10, i had to settle for a couple hours of wire wheel'in the frame and undercoating it.

dieselarmy13 · 03-15-2008, 06:25 AM

If you were closer, I would come and do your rear brakes just so I could touch it.

JayDubBlazer · 03-15-2008, 06:50 AM

How did you clean and paint the steering box? That looks great, so does the rest of the truck but this week I have a thing for steering boxes

beautiful man

Thanks again for all the comments. I must give most of the credit to my dad, he is the real restoration pro. He has taken a couple of 67 vetts to Bloomington gold status. My main contribution has been my pocketbook and being the helper.

shifty · 03-20-2008, 10:32 PM

OK, speaking of help, I might actually need your help

I'll shoot you a PM.
