Re: Restoring 1980 C10 big ten.
More cleaning.... I figured since I made the frame look pretty I should make everything else on the bottom look pretty as well.
New drums - Flat black with high temp paint and cured.
Cleaned up what I could as it sat on the little 3 ton jack stands. Removed the first shock absorber. No Problem. Second one what a pain in the but.... Needed to cut off wheel for that one. Only problem, bought the grinding wheel instead. Oh well just take a bit longer. Finally got it out.
Proceed to getting the rear end painted - need bigger jack stands. Back to the good old princess auto. Some nice 12 ton stands that get pretty darn high. Now I can support the frame and remove the leafs.
SNOW... REALLY.... Was hoping for a productive weekend. Let's hope for just a few flakes.
I have some pictures to upload but I am getting some kind of security token error. So we shall see about that later
