Getting ready to pull the frame out from under the 67'. Just debating where to put the supports so I dont tweek the body and cab. Its now on the little jackstands with all the suspension removed.

i think you need bigger jackstands

are you separating the body and bed? I'd just run a couple 4x4's under each and put the sheetmetal on those. easy and quick.

I thought about putting like 4x6 under it but Im thinking it might wobble or one bump and away it goes?

you could build a roller stand like I did for my cab, then you could roll it around the shop or outside to work on it! Or bolt the 4x4's right to the cab mounting holes

That's a nice little setup you have there mike.

not bad for a little bit of scrap and junk laying around, eh?
I may have to auction it off here when (IF) i ever get this cab done!

That's a great solution, 72. I'm keeping those photos for future reference.

Nice big garage! My LWB '71 barely fits in mine. A C/C, forget it!

We actually look for houses with the longest garage in the area since that was when I had the 67' and was going to start it as a project. The side the 67' on now is 22' and the side where the jack stands are on is actually 24'

Nice!! Lots of room.

only problem now is the garage door is to low only 8' door. So most likely will be building another garage with 10' doors.

Good idea. You don't want to get the truck back together and find out you can't get it out of the garage!
