For the guys (and gals) that have done a frame off, what would you recomend for hardware on reassembly? Such as cab to frame. Body panels. Stainless? Welting on fenders. Since I would prefer not to visit a frame off again, I'd rather put back whatever will out live me.
So price is not a consideration. Can you name sources? I live in Southern Calif.
Thanks ahead of time. | | | | | Joined: Mar 2007 Posts: 12 Junior Member | | Junior Member Joined: Mar 2007 Posts: 12 | A great source for parts is chevyduty.com, they have better prices and they have almost every part a person could want. They'll send you a free catalog and shipping is free when ordering more than $300! Another is brothersonlinestore.com | | | | | Joined: Mar 2000 Posts: 784 'Bolter | | 'Bolter Joined: Mar 2000 Posts: 784 | I used all stainless on the body panels when I put my 46 back together. If you can get stainless nuts & bolts locally it will be cheaper than going to one of the mail order vendors. Also any of the vendors should have the fender welting, and the body mounts you need.
Good Luck

Is it best to go back th the stock wooden block under the cab or is there a new-fangled thing that might lessen frame to cab noise? | | | | | Joined: May 2004 Posts: 1,312 'Bolter | | 'Bolter Joined: May 2004 Posts: 1,312 | I used stainless where seen / cad plated where concealed. For mounting cab to frame, a buddy in the plastics business provided me with some high density nylon type blocks that are super strong and won't squeak - can be cut with a table saw. | | |
