I'm a little ways east of you, near London. I work in Springfield when I'm not traveling for work.

Here's the last 1 ton frame I used. Put a different body on it but lots of smoothing on this one.

Went up that way several times this year going to shows in Dublin, Delaware and Ashville.

Is that rear crossmember for a bolt-on pintle hitch?

Yep. Made or modified all but one crossmember. It has a WWII Military body on it. Not Chevy so I don't want to get banned for showing. LOL

May have posted here a while back but just picked up another truck. Sold to me as a 1980 with salvage title but looks to be hacked together. VIN makes no sense to me so if someone can set me straight I'd appreciate it. X for engine shows a 307 by my info but in a K30? The B for year has me puzzled as well. Looks like a 1978 front end to me but my memory sometime fails me. Plan on making this a working truck and will tear down and start over. Runs good but leaks like a sieve so going to take the front end of for ease of working on it. Pulling the motor and doing all the gaskets and seals along with rear main seal. I do need a Power steering pump and bracket for a hydroboost so if anyone on here from around Dayton, Ohio is on here, let me know. Worked with Chevy 4x4's a good bit and currenty have a 1978 1 ton chassis under my 41 Dodge Military truck. I'd post pics but it is a Dodge. LOL Here are some pics of the one I bought. I will be selling the bed off of it shortly if someone needs one.
