Yes. If you look close at the last pic you will see the burn through from the diamond shaped plate on the inside. Thats the way ICAR says a frame section should be done.

You can always do it my way. Just cut the rails off and do a fishmouth joint. Took me one good days work.

A cover will not work on this one. Way to far gone. I'll take the time to fit everything before I put color on it. If I don't like it I'll try a US made one. There about 300.00.

New dash pad. Anybody know how well they fit? Anybody try the A/M dash pads from LMC or Brothers? I have one coming from Brothers and can't find any info good or bad. I'm not expecting perfect but it dose need to fit decent. There are some USA made ones that cost more. I'll pay more for a...

Let's make sure I understand. You want to tow 10 tons (20.000) LBS with an old 6.2 diesel, single wheel Chevy truck over 400 miles. First your so over wt. if you get stopped you will never be able to pay the fines. 2nd that truck will never pull that load. So be ready for a few very high tow...

Well I painted it yesterday. I don't have a tail gate yet and I'm waiting on a GM fuel door. Still need to do alot details but aleast it has color on it. Makes me think theres light at the end of the tunnel. Before anyone asks, that is my M936A2 wrecker in the background. Brian G.

Thanks Rick. Not sure yet if I will remove the bumpers. This weekend I'm going to remove the doors cleanup the jambs and paint the inside of the doors and jambs. I will remove door handles, locks, mirrors, wipers. Then as soon as my booth is free for a few days I will paint and camo it. Then I...

Not much today. Just put the bed back on. It's starting to look like a truck again. Brian G.

Some of you asked for a pic of the VIN stamp on my frame 1028 frame rail. It right where the piece of tape is.

I wish I was getting that one. Thats a real sweet truck. Brian G.

And they say you Can't polish a t---. :mrgreen: Good thing I own a collision shop.

It's on top of the rt frame rail just in front of the main crossmember where the ft spring mount is. I can't say they are all stamped there but I'd bet GM did stamp all trucks in the same place. Mine matchs all the other tags. If I rememeber I'll take a pic in the morning.

Not just today but the last few weekends. fixed some frame problems. Painted the frame, new fuel tank, new mufflers and tail pipes,new shocks. I'm putting bed liner on the cab floors now. My painter is in my booth now getting the bed ready for paint top to bottom before it go's back on the truck...

There is a vin on the frame behind the rt side of the cab. It is on the top side of the rail.

Nope. I never buy from Autozone or Advanced. They do not give me the shop discounts I get from real venders. I do buy alot from NAPA. Bottom line is even the best line of parts are made off shore. Just not the same as years ago.

Any brake parts should not be affected by DOT 5 vs DOT 3. I'v used both in cars over the years and never had problems. DOT 5 will cause leaks in alot of reman parts. My thoughts where always that the specs are not as good as brand new. I'v also had brand new calipers fail within a few weeks with...

Awhile back I posted that I had a bent ft end on my 1028. Seems the truck got hit in the rt ft at one time and did not get repaired correct. I set it up on my frame machine and found the rt ft rail down and back about an inch. Long story short the frame is fine now but the ft end still has a...

This may be a stupid question. What is a antennaclimber card?

I saw this truck a few weeks back. The pictures don't do it justice. Looks great Rick. Maybe I'll get to see it next week. Brian G.
