My first post
I just found this board and have already found a lot of info. I purchased a 71 GMC shortbed fleetside a few months ago. This is my first frame off project so I'll have a lot of dumb questions. In the past I've owned a 62 longbed fleetside and a 76 4X4 Blazer. So far I've painted the frame and put on a front end rebuild kit (including drop spindles, drop springs, quick ratio power steering, front sway bar). I'll post pictures as soon as I figure out how to make my picture files smaller.

Thanks for the websites! Here is some pics of the truck when I bought it. The people in my office thought I was crazy when I showed them these. I know you guys can appreciate this. Its a true AZ truck with virtually no rust through the metal! I'll post some progress pics when I get a chance.
