Pics show end of frame, appears to me it's been shortened, came without a rear bumper and no trailer hitch yet I could see where a hitch had been welded to the frame. Length of box is 104", measured from the face of box behind cab to the tailgate end of box, appears to be correct length for long horn
Had an electric hand brake switch set up on the base of the steering column and feel that’s what the red wire was for.
I've since installed a trail hitch as can be seen bolted to the frame.
Also note that in the pics you can see that the frame appears to have been cut as some holes are only half a hole yet frames comes right up to cross member pic 5, 6 and 7 under tail gate area.
Also box was not set on frame correctly , space behind cab to front edge of box was 3/4" on side and 1 3/4" other side, have corrected that.
Also Ive noted that factory spec sheet showed blk vinyl seat, rubber floor mate, no radio yet it has green interior, wood panel dash and door panels, also glove box door has had label removed.
thanks for taking the time to review these and posting of any comments
