Junk - Castoff material of any sort that can be put to some use. '67 Chevy truck cab frame swap

[STINEY]

That's the official definition of "junk" as my Readers Digest Great Encyclopedic Dictionary puts it.

Sure fits this project.

This is what I started with on Sunday morning.




















Needed to rob 2 crossmembers. Why did GM use rivets instead of bolts?





Next free day, everything gets planted in this 1/2 ton frame.

LOL! Thought for a minute you were trying to get my attention. I just sold my '70 GMC minus engine and trans to a guy wanting a resto project.

I love the patina too.

But I hate you. For having such a cool barn to work on stuff in. You suck. ;D ;D ;D ;D

You're welcome to use it this winter Chad, that's when its the COOLEST! ;D

You'd hate me more if you thought there was a twin to that barn that just stores stuff. Not that there is, or that it's on the same property, and 50 yards from the house..... :-X

Damn Stiney, I need a dually frame and axle just like that for my '39 project.

Re: Junk - Castoff material of any sort that can be put to some use.

Stiney - is that a 292 - are you going to run that in the half ton?

[STINEY]

Re: Junk - Castoff material of any sort that can be put to some use.

No, its a 250, but I do have a spare 292 currently residing in a boat.

The Mercruiser 250 developed an 18" crack in the waterjacket when the lift pump in the outdrive went bad, and I swapped in a 292 from a cargo van.
