I am in the process of building a 46 3/4 ton stakebed and turning it into a 1/2 tone pickup with a 350 sbc tied to a TH350 transmission. I've removed the 46 body from it's original frame and sandblasted and cleaned all the pieces. I still have to take the cab to the media blaster. I've sandblasted everything else, with the exception of the frame, in my shop. I will be installing air conditioning, power windshild wipers and power windows. I've taken a 1987 Chev extended cab S10 and removed the body from the frame. The extended cab means that the frame will have to be sectioned one foot.

See the link for pictures: S-10 frame for a 46 1/2 pickup

If you have any suggestions, hints, tips or critisism, please don't hesitate to let me know.

No better smell than that of fresh paint. I've been building and painting cars/trucks for 47 years. Not gonna stop now.
