I am always happy when I get a chance to meet a fellow board member and I am pleased that I had what you needed to repair your frame.

Thanks for taking the time to read my build, I generally take the winter months off since my project is outside, I will be doing some work on it this fall and be sure to check back in the spring for more updates.
I got the radiator cover at LMC truck in KC.

You have your can off so removing the rear trailng arm was basic, you think it could be done with the cab on?

It can be done with the right tools but it's not much fun. I did mine on a lift and cut a x in the head of the river. Then I used a air chisel to cut the head off and a punch to knock the river out. Was a huge pita but very doable with the right tools

I know right? I have been saving up some cash and it isn't going as fast as I would like and if it takes too much longer I'm going to hit winter and the tarps are going to have to go back on until spring again without much work accomplished this year, it's sad but it happens I guess.

Re: 1968 Chevrolet SWB Stepside Restomod

Sometimes it's good to just take a break and get some parts together. I'm itching to buy parts and don't even have another truck yet

Re: 1968 Chevrolet SWB Stepside Restomod

It's been awhile since I have done anything with my truck, so today I started tearing it down so I can start building back up on the new frame, the new can has been yelling for attention lately.
