After much delay and postponements, I am now working hard as I can on my '56 panel that I sold and then bought back after 17 years. I have finished welding in the Volare ifs. Now that I will be removing all the suspension parts for cleaning and installing new bushings and ball joints, I have decided to remove the body and have the frame sandblasted. Now's the time if I'm gonna do it. Hopefully everything can start to go back together pretty quickly then. Good thoughts and prayers will be appreciated.
I removed my panel body and rolled a Fatman chassis under it and had to install a whole new floor and firewall and cowls and landed it on the chassis with minor shim work and was surprised at how well it went, I did have to extend rear chassis because the guy that I ordered it with put the spec as a just F100 and never told them it was a panel truck. All my rear supports were very rusted so my new cross brace is tube steel. But just weld in cross bracing in multiple areas and it worked.
