Rita's Rod Revival-SWB swap

[powell72]

My wife and I spent Sat. afternoon with a couple of friends (dirtball included) and her brother and we swapped frames on her truck and set the new (to this truck) shortbed on. We took the doors off, and had four of us lift the cab up while my wife and her brother rolled the long frame out. Then we set the cab on jackstands, swapped wheels and tires on the frames, set up the new cab mounts and rolled the new one in. It went pretty smooth.

Here's what it looked like last summer-



Here's how it went down-






And the finished product, now we just need to reassemble and get the bodywork/paint done on the bed-



One of Brett and I's friends brought over his '69 BB SWB that he has been working on for a couple of months. He bought it off ebay and had it shipped from WV.





And all three of them together-



We hope to have her truck driving by summer, I'll keep everyone posted.
