Re: CRGRS 66 – Winter Build Thread
I am pretty sure those are just glued on.
If you hit it with some Goo-Gone and let it set for a day or two, then gentle action with a thin putty knife should do the trick !!

Re: CRGRS 66 – Winter Build Thread
I've heard of guys heating it up with a hot air gun then thread some fishing line in behind the emblem and cut through the adhesive. No prying involved that way.
Truck is coming right along! Brian

Re: CRGRS 66 – Winter Build Thread
Haven't had a lot of time lately, but have been chugging away at blasting, cleaning and painting parts. Will be placing an order with classic parts, and LMC shortly, will also be ordering up seat belts, fat mat, and AAW wiring harness. Will also be sending frame out to be blasted and painted soon.

Re: CRGRS 66 – Winter Build Thread
cleaning seems to take longer than anything, but its for sure worth it in the end.

Re: CRGRS 66 – Winter Build Thread
I'm months late with a follow up but another tip for future projects - when I use Goo-Gone I scrape with an old nylon Bondo spreader. If you have a few to pick from you can usually find one stiff enough to really scrape but soft enough not to mar the surface. Works for me anyway. Looking forward to any updates.

The past year has been... let's just say entirely not conducive to working on the truck. I have been lurking following most of you guys, mark, mcmurph, bomp, sanity, ta2don, BOMP
![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() So as to where I am and what is going on... Frame was cleaned up with wire wheel, sanding discs, and plenty of sweat, then labelled with rust converter (love this stuff!)

Re: CRGRS 66 – Winter Build Thread
Now ready to begin reassembly

Re: CRGRS 66 – Winter Build Thread
Also ordered power steering pump and brackets on ebay, probably overpaid though, oh well, I'm over that, just happy to have that figured out.

Re: CRGRS 66 – Winter Build Thread
bottom line, I am about a week away from having a healthy amount of time to devote to reassembling the suspension, and getting the engine transmission married and set into the frame.
Soooooooo Cause I'm back Yes I'm back well I'm back Yes I'm back Well I'm back back Well I'm back in black Yes I'm back in black Back in the back of a Cadillac Number one with a bullet I'm a power pack Yes I am In a bang with the gang They gotta catch me if they want me to hang Cause I'm back on the track and I'm beatin' the flack Nobody's gonna get me on another rap So look at me now I'm just makin' my play Don't try to push your luck just get out of my way Cause I'm back Craigerrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr

Re: CRGRS 66 – Winter Build Thread
Glad to see your back.
You sure are thorough. That frame looks great. Nothing like a bit of an interruption to make one appreciate truck time even more. |

Re: CRGRS 66 – Winter Build Thread
A lot going on here for me, we are moving soon (downsizing a bit). I have moved my bed, and all front end sheet metal to a buddy's garage for the time being. Mandate is to have a rolling chassis including the engine transmission by moving day June 6th. The more assembly work I have the less there will be to move. Heading to Princess Auto (equiv to your Harbor Freight her in Canuck Land) for some 3/8 gr8 fasteners, stopping at work to snag some NTA push on fittings for the rear air bags in the morning and then continue on with assembly work. Have the front xmember, and the rear engine mount xmenber installed, PS steering gear box mounted, should have rear suspension settled, and have some progress on the front suspension tomorrow as well.

Re: CRGRS 66 – Winter Build Thread
On another note we sold the little tear drop trailer (cute as hell, but far from practical) and purchased a new trailer. We made the deal last fall, but just picked up the trailer today, the wife is pretty excited to be able to have a pee in the night without trekking to the public restroom... our first adventure is in a couple of weeks.
