Cross sill plates?
Are the plates that go under the cross sills really necessary for a restomod truck? There will never be weight in the bed of the truck. Seems to me these are really just for a work truck and weight so the sills dont spread. I have all the sills but no plates and I can not buy the plates separate.
Thanks, Erik |
