Re: My 69 lonbed

Re: My 69 lonbed
 

truck looks good man, in that pic with bags in place of springs was the frame notched or the regular frame sitting on the axle?

Re: My 69 lonbed
 

yeah the picture of the truck fully assembled the frame was not notched. brothers sells a frame notch kit the will let you go about 2 inchs lower that the picture. i think its like 150 bucks it requires little cutting and it bolts in place. and you can still use your stock suspension.
