HAPPY PICTURES DALE.

This is good news of course.

Trusting your recovery is going smoothly as can be.

**Palf70Step** · 07-04-2016, 06:58 AM

Good to see the 67 going back together. Hope your healing continues o go well.

Bomp · 07-04-2016, 12:03 PM

Those mis-matches are small potatos for a guy like you.

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.

Grizz1963 · 08-01-2016, 02:50 PM

Hi Sarah,

Thanks for the update.

When I saw the thread I got a big silly grin.

lower50's · 08-02-2016, 12:17 AM

Thanks for the update Sarah. Wish I was able to go.

Hi Dale & Sarah.
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.

65sub · 09-08-2016, 09:18 PM

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

**Advanced Design** · 09-08-2016, 09:33 PM

That is great to hear Dale! Looking forward to updates.

62stepside longbox · 09-08-2016, 10:54 PM

Awesome to have you back on here Dale, I'll be waiting for more updates on the twisted sister

lower50's · 09-09-2016, 06:48 AM

Sweet Dale. Glad to here your feeling good after your summer of relaxing and sponge baths.

**Palf70Step** · 09-09-2016, 07:40 AM

piratexpress1369a · 09-09-2016, 08:30 PM

Glad to hear your getting back into the fold...I like the suicide doors in that first pic

65sub · 09-15-2016, 07:49 PM

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

Grizz1963 · 09-16-2016, 03:09 AM

And we're Moooovin' Mooovin'

Progress.

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

Average Joe · 09-16-2016, 11:25 PM

Good to see you back at it!

**Palf70Step** · 09-17-2016, 07:46 AM

65sub · 09-18-2016, 01:40 PM

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.

65sub · 09-19-2016, 08:32 PM

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.

Wow Dale you are flying!!! Is the little kiddie pool for when you guys need a brake?

62stepside longbox · 09-19-2016, 09:04 PM

Great to see you getting back to work!

**Advanced Design** · 09-19-2016, 09:49 PM

You know, that approach is a great idea and will save a ton of time and work. Going to be rolling soon.

reaper71 · 09-19-2016, 09:57 PM
