Re: 69 chevy build
My grandson helped me get this far, but unforntuatly he moved to new york. I will try and get the pictures caught up to the progress I have done to the truck. I have learned so much from this forum.

Well I didn't get much done on the truck this weekend, the sun is out and I had yard work to get done. I did manage to strip the frame down more.

Re: 69 chevy build
Update I got my frame stripped and painted. I'm going to try and remember how to post pictures. It's been slow going for a year. But I'm on track now. Got most of my parts from LMC. I set a goal of together but not painted. 08-14

Re: 69 chevy build
Looks good.
Are you using a phone to take pics? If so hold it the other way...if not, I dunno.

Re: 69 chevy build
Wow, you've done some excellent work so far.
Your's is the same color my "69 stepside was (white over red now). I always thought someone had painted it with turquois and did a poor job. Especially when there was white underneath the turquois I assumed the truck was originally white since interior metal was white and engine cowl was white. Or had your truck been repainted turquois too? |

Re: 69 chevy build
Got my gas tank all lined up and the filler cap is going to line up with the boards perfect.

Re: 69 chevy build
I got set of 18" on loan for mock-up to see if I will like the size.

Re: 69 chevy build
I opened my box that has my grill in it from LMC. And this is what I found, I called them they want pictures of the box and grill so I sent them. It was not damaged in shipping, you can see the box has no marks on it. Hope I can get this fixed.

Re: 69 chevy build
Your doing a excellent job on your project. LMC isnt the only company that has grille issues if it makes the situation any less worse. I don't live far from a LMC competitor and occasionally make it in there. I once seen 4 69-70 grilles in the clearance parts corner that customers had returned due to blemishes.

Re: 69 chevy build
did you overhaul the rear DIFF, or just paint it?
and what was the way you got the cab off, i am trying to figure out the best way of getting it off for paint

Re: 69 chevy build
Here are a couple of pics that will give a idea of how I lifted my cab off the frame.
