made very nice progress today on the 1980 frame replacement project.
We got the entire front suspension installed plus all the steering componetes, front and rear sway bars, and the helicoil in one of the rear differential mounting holes for the rear leaf spring because the hole had been stripped out and bubba originally just left it as is and never bothered to put the 3rd bolt in.
Got the sheels put back on and the replacement frame is now a rolling chassis sitting on it's own wheels and tires!
it won't be too long now until we are ready to drop the body back down.
here are the pics from today:
