Re: "Old Olive" 1970 C10 porterbuilt build
Nice! You gonna keep the original paint on yours too?
Got a little more done. Was playing around and decided to lay the frame on the ground for the first time. The frame is resting on these little factory frame stiffener bends, do they need to be cut off? Do I need to weld in a little patch panel?

Re: "Old Olive" 1970 C10 porterbuilt build
You could cut that piece out, flip it & weld it back in? I'd just cut it out and weld in a replacement piece since it's between the mounting points for the PB mega crossmember. Looks WICKED by the way.

Re: "Old Olive" 1970 C10 porterbuilt build
52 MF'n bolts later and the porterbuilt inner frame stiffener is in! Such a piece of art, too bad you'll never see it under the cab!

Re: "Old Olive" 1970 C10 porterbuilt build
Got the rear Porterbuilt 24x15 frame notch in! Fit in great. A lot of welding on this one. Basically a half frame after is all done, only a little of the original frame left past the rear cab mounts. Coming along!
