Re: The 1976 Beater Build - by Wixthedog

Before any work was to begin I had to finish up the welding projects that I took on and then get organized. All the new parts take up space, all my welding junk takes up more, and the truck and incoming old parts take up even more! I am sure plenty of you can relate to space issues... I am fortunate, I have a 30x20 shop but its never big enough it seems and I can't wait to go bigger. Anywho....

I took the truck to an open parking lot to get some before pictures of the stance and overall look. Weather was nice and a massive cold front moved in today so timing was right.

I could not be bothered to get center or hub to fender measurements so ground to fender on level ground with a 1/4 tank of gas will have to do as a reference:

LF: 30.5"
RF: 31.0"
LR: 33.5"
RR: 33.5"

Got the ol' girl moved in the shop sideways, got her jacked up, and have been spraying PB Blaster on everything throughout the day.

Surgery starts tomorrow with the rear, then I'll tackle the front.
