Re: My suburban's Twisted Little Sister
Sarah Here:
All's fine. Just been out of the shop for a bit. Dad's shop hand has been on vacation. On another note: We'll be at Bothwell this weekend. Is anyone else going? Unfortunately the truck won't be ready to go, but we'll be there regardless.

Re: My suburban's Twisted Little Sister
Hi Sarah,
Thanks for the update. When I saw the thread I got a big silly grin.

A last-minute decision... but it looks like I'll be at Bothwell tomorrow. Gayle and I will be heading down for the day, then back to London in the evening to hang out with the Disciples of Speed at the E.L.T.A. open house. Should be a long fun day! I'm looking forward to meeting up with you guys. I'll call you when we arrive.

Re: My suburban's Twisted Little Sister
Hi guys. Well after a long summer break of rehab vacations and rapping up some other projects I think we're about ready to get back to work. To start here's a couple of trucks from a recent show. Then tomorrow we'll get back to work in the shop

Re: My suburban's Twisted Little Sister
Thanks guys it's good to be back to work. The first project to get finished is the yellow 67 pick up. After test fitting the panels and some measuring it seems the passenger side frame rail is slightly bent. Instead of trying to straighten the frame I decided to replace the frame with one I purchased at a swap meet. To make it easier to work on we moved the truck up to the shop from the barn. We got the truck jacked up and disconnected everything that connects the frame to the cab and box

Progress. Pity the frame was bent, but at least you have a solution.

Re: My suburban's Twisted Little Sister
We decided to just change the bent frame rail so we cut all the rivets, knocked them out with a punch and pulled the rail off. Then we hung it off of a ladder and gave it a coat of POR 15. We also started to pull the frame out from under the truck to be sure everything is free and clear.

Re: My suburban's Twisted Little Sister
Today we pulled the frame out of the shop and disconnected everything from the passenger side frame rail. Then we put the new rail in place and started reconnecting everything.
