I'll bet this is a Dream truck project for a lot of guys including me. Off to a great start. Similar project on the 60-66 suburban side, it might help you if you have not seen it....http://67-72chevytrucks.com/vboard/s...d.php?t=681291

Thanks I had not seen that one yet. I'll take a look at it. I can definitely use all the help I can get. I've been working on this project for about a month now I think I'm moving pretty quick.

The cab went off to the sandblaster so I can see where all my problems were. Then I covered the whole thing and epoxy primer. Now I'm working on body work on the cab.

Im not pulling the motor, tranny, transfercase or anything out of the frame. I need to clean up the frame from the tahoe as it sets.

Re: 1972 Chevy Pickup Project.
Going to be difficult to clean and prep the Tahoe frame. I would remove top shock bolts and bag the shocks. Wrap everything possible with 6 mil plastic, wrapping that with cheap masking tape. Small sandblaster, do the best you can, then blow it off with air. then power wash if necessary. Mastercoat silver primer, epoxy primer and black topcoat.

Thanks Jim this has been a fun project so far and I can't wait for the finished product.

Re: 1972 Chevy Pickup Project.
Someone else on here is doing the same thing- tahoe/pick-up combo. Can't remember his online name- he was almost done the last time I checked in. Looks like a great project!
|
Re: 1972 Chevy Pickup Project.
I have seen a couple others on here Tigger that are doing the same thing but I have not seen any of them finished yet. I hope that's not a bad sign. LOL. But I am going to get this one finished.
