Re: My 1958 GMC 100 Stepside Budget Build

Still making progress over the last few weeks. Finished blasting the cab and got a couple of coats of epoxy primer on it.



Still have a little metal work to do on the cab, but I moved on to drilling the mounts for the engine and transmission and started removing suspension and cleaning up the frame.




Removed the rear crossmember in preparation for the mustang gas tank that I will be using.





Ground off the remains of the make shift motor mounts, scraped off the 100 pounds of caked on crap, and removed the suspension and all other removable hardware from the fame. I used 2 pieces of 4x4 fence post to mount to each end of the fame and attached an engine stand to each end so I could rotate the frame to make it easier to work on.







No pics at this point but I spent a few hours yesterday and have the frame about half blasted and have a can of Chassis Saver gloss black ready to go on.
