Would love to but belongs to a gentleman on the east coast. Beside I have a bad habit of selling one project then buying three others, so I have plenty of other projects hiding out in the trees.

Seems to me that since I got the chassis rolling again there is a slight rake in the rear.....

You have enough trouble making it up to Bend, but to keep you from winning here are some more photos:

We had a small setback with the patch panels and my painter labeled them as "AMG"--- aftermarket garbage. We were able to return the corners, however the rest were considered custom parts and they would not accept them back even though there was fitment issues and overall quality issues. Just means a little more work with patching things correctly.

Some common areas often overlooked for rust are the rear seat bracket which we removed to clean any rust and aid in patching the rear wheel wells:

Time for a big photo update



Body going back on the frame at the end of the week. Now if I could only get vendors to send me the right parts. Got the wrong water pump sent for the engine from GM:bang:
 
Teaser for the weekend

The body is back on the frame, however this is all I am going to offer you fresh from the paint booth:

Just realized how bad my web guy is....I would fire him but that is one of the many hats I have on top of my head. This is the truck 99.9 % done. At the very last moment the owner wanted to remove the factory defrost vents...waiting on the cover plates to come back from powder coating. If you want to see all the photos go here:

Are those OME front and rear shackles you've installed? They seem a lot longer than what I've got:hhmm:

Yes and no. Rear are OME that came with the springs front are another brand extended shackle as the OME shackle would not work with the Power steering conversion.
