At the metal shop getting the frame and bed floor shortened.

She's back home now.

I removed the HD rear springs,8 lug C20 rear diff and installed a 76 Chevy 5 on 5" rear diff w/ 3.73 gears CCP 5" rear drop springs, new Ubolts and hardware. Took the driveshaft in to be shortened too. Next week, I hope to get the driveshaft back and installed, fab up new rear brake lines, bleed the system, paint the new bed sides, install the grey Boss 338s gathering dust at the tire shop and load it up to take to the exhaust shop.
