87 1/2 ton build

[454c20]

Well, I've been posting up a few questions for awhile now and figure its a good time to post up the progress pics of my truck.

Story goes...I bought it off a fellow co worker back in mid august. Its a 87 Chevy 1/2 ton 4wd. The body wasn't terrible but the previous owner riveted new cab corners and rockers over the rot. The underside tho was really solid and had no rust in the mounts, crossmembers, and floors. The front fenders were also new. Truck had no motor but had TH400, manual locking hubs, 3.08 gears, and a 10,000lb hitch.

Truck came with a new grill, head light trim, and new doors.

Here is how I got it.





Within 4 hours of having it, I yanked the front clip and bed.


The rear frame rails were in good shape.
