I forgot...the radiator support is particularly prone to crumbling on this vehicle. Might as well yank the radiator and clean all that up too...depending, you may have some metal to replace there

It's been a busy weekend, I got out the sand blaster and got after the rust on the back half of the frame and some other suspension parts. I hope I am at the top of the mountain now and things start getting a tad easier. Hopefully no more rusted and broken bolts. The biggest challenge I am facing is extracting the 4 broken cross member bolts. Once I get past that I only have to remember where everything goes....

On to the pictures....

I applaud your attention to detail!

Looking great and it will be well worth the time and effort when you are done.
