What a sh!tShow, At least it came off in 1 piece...lol...
ended up drilling out the torsion keys to get this appart...lol.. and lots of heat.
Saved a good chunk of change re-using the torsion bars and lower tabs so the fight was worth it.

Kind of curious why you aren't painting the inside of the suspension brackets before bolting the suspension back on,or are you planning on blowing it all apart to paint the frame.

Blowing it all apart once done. 
Will get sand blasted.
Need all that new sh!te in there to set cab mounts. Still lots of frame mods to do as well. And tons of welding.
Only Rust Ill have once done is the entire body... hahahahahaha

The rusty patina look is in these days,lol. It means you'll actually drive it though,something with a $25,000+ paint job hardly ever gets droveBlowing it all apart once done.

Somehow I missed this thread so far, but awesome build! I'd love to have the skills/money to do something like this.
I've seen what fabrats and rory/trailmater have done with old trucks and rusty patina, those trucks are no joke!

SIF in Edmonton did an awesome job rebuilding my parking brake.
Also learned that my Blue cab with the hidden hinges was only made in 1950, So the fact L-130 series were rare, makes it even rarer with that design. pretty cool.

Jegs Gauges showed up. GPS Speedometer, No need to run and try to adapt cables to my T-98. 
Also ditched the mechanical fan for an electric so I could mount my engine lower

After a dozen cardboard templates, I present to you my front motor mounts...
Now Im prototyping the engine mount bars, I think this will be good.
BTW the SD220 is front mounted and there's no side mount bolt holes to tie into. and the rear mount is the bell housing.

That was the way they did things back in the early days.If you look at an early Tri-5 Chevy with the early 265 smallblock,it was even mounted off the front and the bellhousing

Good view of the old school road draft tube,lol. Looks like somebody created a little more oil pan capacity at one point in time
