So if you brought your own engine hoist, a couple big floor jacks, & a few giant jack stands (totalling about $500-600) it might go pretty easy?

Think you could barter the tools for part of the install?

That's a possibility, are you interested?

Thanks for the pics and all the info! Maybe drive my truck down south for a vacation and a frame swap one day. I heard they do really good body work with lead filler instead of bondo.

Man that's a steal. I always loved Latin America for reasons evident in this post. Most dont have the "right" tools but will a way to make it happen. Mind saying what you are doing down there? If it's a cartel dont tell me!

Nice job! Great pix too.

A most impressive set of posts! No frame rot here, but If I ever get any, I'm driving down there. Great work.

Incredible.

I can't even imagine the amount of work that you had to do to get the rust out of your body!

Buy your crew a beer, they look ready.

Totally amazing!

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.

That is seriously cool. The 60 must love it too...

I was impressed with all those pictures you had taken. Its nice to see the work that went into it. BTW, somone here in vancouver BC had there bj-60 frame dipped in acid and galvonized. Looked increadable.

Now for day 4! Time to ! Proceeded faster than I expected on day 4!

What was involved in "straightening the body and frame so the bolts will fit and the truck will look and track normally too"? I'm getting ready to re&re my frame and need all the advice I can get. Thread here =https://forum.ih8mud.com/showthread.php?p=1206763#post1206763
