I finally found time to work on the truck

Wire wheeled the frame then some Chassis Saver then Herculiner roll on bed liner. Its "halfway done" the frame that is

Man, that had some deep pits in it on the end. Hope the middle and front was in better shape... if not consider getting a better frame before you get much further.

Well the frame is 32 yrs old so it will have to do (I am older than the frame and I aint in much better shape)

Its a one ton frame (2wd) the only other frame I have is a 84 C10 4wd I think that would be more work than this..


Thanks though

Your putting the 84 body on the setup correct? Ha ha u know the feeling of you think its gonna be a breeze but it takes up more time then you think.Are you planning on making it a 76 again or just gonna keep it a 76 chassis with a 84 body on top?

thanks

The blazer is out side the 76 is in the car tent.
The 76 is a cab/chassis (thanks Blazin for the info on another thread) it will get a flatbed hopefully before I retire or die
