Re: 1978 Chevy Crew Cab Ultimate Offroad Build

Finished building all the new brackets to mount the front clip. I have a few ideas on the grille but that will be one of the last tasks. I'm dying to drive this thing.





Now that all the body parts are mocked up, we completed all finial welds EVERYWHERE!


After two days and 11lb spool of wire, we finished all the welding and got the frame all painted. Started driving in to get brake, fuel and trans cooler lines and electrical ran down the frame.


Replaced a leaky rear main seal and the pan gasket, installed my new high volume water pump and get the rest of the motor all cleaned up. Was super excited to find someone locally selling the headers I was looking for a great price! Need to go get them coated. Still doing some research on what the best coating for mud will be.



I am working on getting the cab all cleaned up and the cage built. I hope to have the cage built my the end of the year. I am having to switch to working on putting my 1972 Chevy truck back together to sell for funds to finish this truck. So progress is going to stop until I'm finished with it.
