'73 Body off pics!
Yesterday morning, with the help of a good friend, I separated the body from the frame for the first time in 33 years!
The body came off without any problems, the engine hoist worked perfectly!
Boy do I have a lot of work ahead of me!
It looks like I'll be replacing this frame as I originally thought.
next I'll begin the tear-down of the chassis.

I thought about buying the repair sections for it, but they cost $430.00 each plus shipping (I'll need both) and by the time I clean it, blast it and repair it and POR 15 it, I'll have well over $1000.00 into it, and at that point I'd rather just look for another one at Carlisle that's already cleaned and painted for a little more.

thanks,
I saw that thread, It's not for sale anymore.
I'm going to wait for Carlisle, if I don't find anything there (hard to believe that) then I will look elsewhere.
