55.2-59 Ol' Blue

[8man]

Raven, this is where I am.

The cab holes are filled in and I've modified the dash in some previous pictures. I think it is ready to sit on the frame and see how it all fits together.

So, I started with putting the metal part of the bed on the frame. The doors you see have been body worked and primed and are ready for paint. The fenders, bedsides and other black parts are primed with epoxy waiting for body work.

A mechanic I know is planning to come over 12/14 and hopefully we will button up the 5.3 and it will be ready to do the motor mounts on the frame, as soon as I get a tranny to go with it.

I need the cab on the frame to set the engine/tranny combo and then that cardboard box under the frame will be taped to the frame to get an idea of how big I can make the gas tank. The tank will be filled through the original filler tube behind the seat, it'll run down through the floor into the tank, once I get it located and have it built.
