1977 SWB Build Thread
Hey guys, pretty new here. A little behind on the pics, but here she is just waiting to be stripped down the rest of the way. Next will be sandblasting the frame and using por 15 on the frame.

Looks like you are ready to begin the journey. I guess you already know about the million baggies with bolts and labels. It will make all the difference when you start to put it back together. I look forward to watching your progress. Good luck and welcome to the board.

Thanks for the kind words. I have been following your build and love it. I'm sure your Dad won't mind the two tone paint. This is my second build, and yes I have plenty baggies labled with all the parts, bolts, nuts, etc.

Truck will be pretty much a street cruiser, not going to go too crazy with it. Plan on 400 RWHP with a AOD and 9in. with 3:73 gears.

Slowing taking the rest of the frame apart. Engine and tranny have been out awhile now. My front brake line holders and radius are bushing mounts each have one rivet each holding them on, besides the bolts. Do you guys leave these on or cut the rivets out? All the brackets are in very good shape, I just don't want to shortcut the restoration.
