Re: ** YOUNG FRANKENSTEIN ** The truck Chevrolet should have built.

I worked a while on it after church and got all my suspension brackets fabricated and painted up well. I also mounted my rear air ride sensors up inside the frame rails to protect them as best that I could.

Also seen in the shot is my upper shock mount that was angled the wrong way since I cut it off the frame ahead of the axle and flipped it to the rear. It was going to angle the shock towards the pumpkin instead of towards the outboard area. A buddy told me of a great trick, he said to ream the hole out on one side to get the shock to angle the way you want it, and then weld a thick washer to the side of your reamed hole to create a new tight hole for the shock bolt. Worked like a charm, thanks Chris.
