What is this glass packs???
Today at school I was talking to a buddy of mine, we started talking about power, and he told me if I added power it would mess up the frame or warp it, then he said that I have to have an "A" frame, and he told me I have a box frame.
Can someone shed some light on this??? PLEASE!!!

Those are indeed glass packs.
Your buddy at school needs to take a basic auto shop class. I have owned several big block powered trucks -- one that made in excess of 500 hp and 600 lb/ft of torque --- its frame was ok.
"then he said that I have to have an "A" frame"
agree 100% with this one --- i have plans to build one myself on a small plot of land i have above Manitou Springs, CO. Its gonna be awesome! Log planks outside and nothing but cedar inside -- just like a tiny ski lodge !
but alas, he probably was talking about A-arms -- don't worry about those, your truck already has them. They are what your spindles attach to.
You actually have a C cross section frame (not to be confused with a c-notch), and not a box frame (unless its a full-tilt custom)
I hope i have helped ...... just a little bit
