Popular Post h67st Posted September 2, 2017 Popular Post Share Posted September 2, 2017 I got the frame rails separated from all their mates. The motor had blowby as well as a few oil leaks, so the front of the right frame rail is pristine. Too bad there weren't oil leaks farther back because there's lots of rust back there. Oh well, I'll clean it up and sandblast it. 3 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/50913-parts-is-parts/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vladislav Posted September 2, 2017 Share Posted September 2, 2017 I like this way of chassis restoration. Have you got the crossmembers riveted or bolted up?

It will probably be months before I get to that...I will have the parts sandblasted and paint them. I want to do some work to the engine and other components before I start assembly. I will definitely use bolts...I'm not as meticulous as you!

I bought Huck Bolts to do my AC frames, same hardware Mack, PAACAR , Navistar and Cat uses on the current chassis' assembly.
