It's a truck again! - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

I had my frame powder coated about a year and a half ago. Finally got the thing back together again on Friday. Then I was cleaning the garage for my son's birthday party on Sunday and I decided to set the body on the frame to make some room. The bed and front clip are rust free , the cab has a little on the kicker panel area, not much though. I know that it has to come off again, but for a couple off hours, I just kept looking at it and thinking, maybe, just maybe, I'll get it done some year. The engine is a 454, trans will be a 700r4, some kind of posi in the rear. What do you think about the "project"?

Looking good....heck, I wish I was as far as you've gotten

But anything worth doing...is worth doing right the first time...and good things are worth waiting for

Rob
I feel bad that I wasn't there to help you
put the cab on and to see the birth of
another old style in the area.
Talk to you soon maybe Sunday at Spencers
party Jay

Your project looks like it is coming along very nice! I be worried about the guy sneaking a beer out of the cooler in the last pic tho

71HUGGER396 · 06-26-2005, 08:21 AM

He's a really good lifter, so he can have all the beer he wants. Plus he owns the tap system. LOL

71HUGGER396 · 06-26-2005, 08:25 AM

67OLDSTYLE72, don't worry about it, we've been through alot together. I hope you make the party though. Thanks.

nitor · 06-26-2005, 08:35 AM

It will be a fine ride when it's put back together for the last time.

**Yukon Jack** · 06-26-2005, 08:44 AM

I can understand completely - hope it comes together as quickly as possible for you.
