That's very nice - you've got the right plan, do the frame, put it back together and enjoy it!

Nice score. Frame off takes more time but will be well worth it when complete. Looking forward to seeing it come together.

Chevrolet=one who is dignified enough to expect every occasion is a special one and sees it fit to wear a bow tie... may others come under dressed.

I'll be watching this sweet ride take shape.

How's the overall condition of the body?

Re: 1969 4x4 short bed project

Funny thing, today i checked your project out and the pics show up and yesterday there were none. My compture still working out the bugs as i just got the harddrive replaced. I feel like a idiot for asking you to post pics when clearliy you already did.

The frame is in amazing shape, at least you don't have to use too much elbow grease to make it look pretty. Did you have a gas filler door on driver's side rear fender?
