Talking Got My Frame Back!!

Woo-Hoo!

Finally got my truck frame back
after a year
I had it sandblasted and painted

My bed got blasted and he sprayed with primer

Now just waiting for my cab..

By the way, is it supposed to sit that high?

A fresh clean frame makes all the difference the world.Looks good and the height looks fine to me.

Re: Got My Frame Back!!

Well considering there are few lift blocks in there I would have to say...no, its not stock height.

Re: Got My Frame Back!!

the front leaf springs have more leafs also... my stock 71 had the hd front spring option, and has 3 leafs. if it had regular springs they would only be 2 leaf.

yours looks to be lifted
