Well, good progress today. Got the cab off the shortbed chassis and sold/picked up. Then Jason trailered it over to his shop where we

and then promptly stuck the cab on it

man, lifts make things easier

Looking good

Kind of looks like a truck

Loaded up the longbed frame....
....with the bed on it....and it looks killer!!!

Shortbed (floor) and longbed on one frame

And took the cherry 69-72 rad support off since I'm doing a 67 front end. Really happy with the frame. Didn't even notice originally that the A-arms were powdercoated. Everything has been greased up ready to go. Just got to bend some new brakelines to meet up with the frame mounted brake setup and stick an engine/tranny/driveshaft in, and complete wiring harness for it, and build the bed, and put a front clip on, and doors, and bodywork, and paint, and gaskets, and glass, and......................

So what kind of power booster/MC setup are you running?

Reason I asked is I have a frame mounted PB/MC from Scott's Hot Rods that one day I'll be installing.

Just curious how you are mounting yours.

Great thread!! what kind of paint did you use on the a-arms on the long bed front end?? I'm getting ready to do my front end and love that look!

VA72C10 · 03-08-2010, 10:54 AM

Oh, wait, you mean the RED

I'm now a "High Octane" member since I'm selling so many parts. Needed to upgrade to that.

Yeah. I was refering to the red, that's cool about the high octane deal!
