Re: '80 stepside swb retromod project
Day 3 work. Not as much done as expected again. Took a lot longer to get the chassis stripped than originally thought. We had a little trouble with getting the cab off of the chassis, should have went with the original plan and just got some extra hands to help lift it off. The way we did it was ok, just took much longer. We looked for a steam cleaner to rent, but no one around here rents them any more, so we rented a 3500 psi pressure washer to clean the chassis and it did a very good job. Now we just have to make a couple repairs on the rear of the chassis, remove a couple unnessessary mounts, clean it a bit more and paint it. I think we finally decided on tire size, so that's a plus. 15x10's with 295/50's in the rear. Gonna go with a 2.5/4" drop to start and see how it looks.
