Re: new frame rails done! "pics"
my floor in the front will b stock height. In the back it will be raised about 2 inches. I will have huge wheels tubes with a notch cover. And a raised V shape for my upper links and drive shaft. The air tanks and valves will be between the rails in the back and I will have a beer keg gas tank in the front sitting sideways. I am also going to have sheet metal going from my bed rails to about 2 inches in on the floor to get the sides in the bed smoother. Thinking about having the tail gate open sideways too but havent decided yet.
