Here's a little project I've been working on and off for the last year and a half or so. I started out with a pretty rusty 1 owner 76. The tub had been patched up several times and was to the point it was pretty much beyond repair. Lucky for me the original owner had found a solid western tub that was included in the deal. Warning I like threads with LOTS of pics!!
Here's what I started with;
The replacement tub
I pulled everything apart blasted the frame and all the suspension parts and painted them chassis black. All new brakes, rebuilt the tranny and put in a fresh 302. Installed a superlift 3 1/2 inch suspension lift
After that I was ready to start on the body. I wanted to go back uncut so I had to replace the lower quarters and there was a couple soft spots in the rockers so I replaced them also.
