Did a raft of measurements after the body was removed and came to the conclusion that it's not tweaked,bent or twisted.
So what gives????
I'm going to do some comparing today to see where the differences are.
This has me scratching my head after every thread I've read on this subject stated that
it was a pretty easy swap.
any ideas??
Thanks,Trent
That is "normal"
when we took our cross member out to work on the frame the the rails sprung out. I would not worry about it and just keep keeping on.
the tolerances back then were quite large, so it seems every frame is different....
