This is what I did this week - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

jugernot · 07-21-2005, 01:54 AM

I pick up my powder coated frame two weeks ago. Little by little I have been putting the parts on. ECE 4/6 drop springs, 1 inch drop spindles, Super Track bar kit, Extreme Drop Center Crossmembers, new bushing ball joints all around, and 12 bolt 5 lug posi with 3.73 gears.

I attempted to install my new stainless steel brake lines, but it looks like looking at a gigsaw puzzle to me. I can't figure out which line goes where. If anyone has some pics of how they look installed, I would appreciate it. (I sure this as been discussed numerous times)

looks good, is that the bed your installing in the background? the bed looks seriously modified.

Sorry can help with the brake lines....

jugernot · 07-21-2005, 03:17 AM

That was the bed I was going to us on my narrowed rear half frame, but I sold it to return an orignial frame. I might still us the bed, depending on how big of a wheel/tire I can fit on the rear.

Just curious, but what does it cost to powdercoat a frame?

Alexis · 07-21-2005, 03:22 PM

NICE! i remember when i put my frame together after the powdercoating was done. It was almost like art.

incoma · 07-21-2005, 11:11 PM

You'd be better off having the frame e-coated if they dip in an acid bath. powder doesn't get in all of the nooks and crannies if it's been in a bath. Trust me, I've learned the hard way.

Coating will run from 500-800 depending upon where you are.

If I remember correctly it cost me about $400.00 to have all the parts stripped, frame, front and center cross members, rear trailing arms, sway bar, control arms, and rear end. The powder coating was an additional $700.00.
