Re: Project “Learning as I Go”

Thanks guys! I worked on the frame the last couple nights, hit the back end with the wire wheel and sprayed on some black paint. Doesn't look too bad but it's not permanent. Hopefully someday I will get it back apart and blast the whole frame. I got the frame cut in half last night. I know that most people on here do the 45 degree cut or the step cut but to make it a little easier I decided to go straight 90 cuts. I am going to cut the section I remove in half and slide it in the frame as a reinforcement. So now i just have to get the section cut out, finish knocking rivets out of the cab supports and bed support, clean the rest of the frame up and start going back together. I still have to get my driveshaft shortened as well. Got a price of $160 cut balanced with new u-joints, and carrier bearing. Here are some pics.
