    Rusty frame fix for your '60 series!

    Simply jiggling the body so that everything lined up. It ends up being a bit of a push and shove to line up things. Do NOT redrill anything! The BJ60 specific frame was well under $500 at the wreckers. I saw another couple when I was there a month or two ago. If you're interested PM me...

    They might but it isn't their normal practice! They usually put a skim coat of bondo over the whole vehicle! I work as a shop teacher/maintenance man at an expat school serving mostly missionary kids. It is a volunteer position but gives us opportunity for travel here as well.

    If folks need a frame I can probably help out in finding one as well as contacting the shop to do the work.

    Rusty frame fix for your '60 series!

    Day 5! The final day of the frame swap! What a whirlwind week where we went from a rusty frame that made me uncomfortable to a frame probably more solid than when I bought the truck in 1989! Here's the team that got the job done and in record time!

    Now for day 4! Time to straighten the body and frame so the bolts will fit and the truck will look and track normally too! Proceeded faster than I expected on day 4!

    Now the delicate process to bring the body back onto the frame! It was almost too scary to watch!

    Working hard to get that frame back under the body. I'll sleep better when that happens!

    Now the engine is back in the frame! It was decided that the control of an engine hoist was a good idea so we found one at a neighbouring shop.

    Here's the old frame! Finally I'm free of the rust demon for at least a few years!

    Now to get the engine out WITHOUT an engine hoist?!? Manpower of course!!

    Continuing on with the project. I'd like to get the frame back under the body. Makes me nervous up there!

    Day 3!! The drive train and axles need to be swapped over to the new frame. How do you like the body supports??

    Finally we get the frame out after airing down the tires! It's awfully wobbly though. Makes me nervous just thinking about it!

    Here it continues as the frame comes out and the truck goes up.... way up!

    Rusty frame fix for your '60 series!

    Up with the body! Out comes the old frame on day two! There was nice wobbly supports holding up the old body and we had to air down the rear tires just to get the frame out. This is where things get just a little scary! Remember, this is Central America NOT the USA. Folks here DON'T have lots...
