LOL!! Don't ask me how i knew cause i couldn't tell ya, sometimes i just get a hunch. I could sure use a million bucks though!

Read carefully, it just says the million. Might be a million dirty diapers, might be a million used sawzall blades, maybe a million packing peanuts, who knows.

Hey Hey, its Saturday night and you know what that means!

Picture Time.

drewskiren · 01-29-2011, 10:37 PM

A big thanks goes out to my cousin Jess for letting the sparks fly all day long, couldn't have done it without you man!

Had to cut out lowering pockets in the frame for the radiator support.

Got all the mounts totally done today, everything ground down, ready to paint except wax removal which is planned after church. On target to paint Sunday night....

Glad you are on board.

I hope this will help others interested in crazy crew cab conversions.

Frame tried to escape the garage !

drewskiren · 01-31-2011, 01:26 AM

Andrew made it out and scraped 40 years of muck off the bottom of the bed.

67chevy1series · 01-31-2011, 01:27 AM

so drew have you found the rear for it? are you getting it ready to be painted now?

VA72C10 · 01-31-2011, 01:50 AM

The more I see this build the more I want to build one for myself....especially when I keep looking at the completed pics of the 50th anniversary one...

Must be some kind of normal behavior with crewcab projects!

Yes, RideTech universal hot rod 4 link with pan hard rod.I got it for about half price from a board member. I don't have my axle available yet to mock it up, so I'll have to weld the brackets on and touch up the frame later.

drewskiren · 01-31-2011, 07:33 PM

Almost forgot to cut off the forward shock mount and switch it to be beside the other one that is on the rear of the axle. It was where the right airbag goes.

I finally got all the frame wax off by using industrial paint stripper and a power washer.

Here is my method for cleaning and painting under the frame.

VA72C10 · 01-31-2011, 07:41 PM

Is that an OSHA approved cleaning method
