(if someone can enlighten me as to the proper terminology, please feel free

AHHHHHHHHHHHH, I know exactly what you mean now! Yeah, it would suck to not get that part in right!

Great info guys. Thanks a million. Yall have convinced me that the frame off avenue is not for me at all right now. I don't have any pics yet cause I haven't picked up the truck yet or paid in full. I'm going to pick it up this weekend in Alabama from JQ72. Gonna be a nice little trip for my dad, brother, and I. I've already learned so much is just the last week that I found this forum. It kinda brings you back down to earth after reading a lot of these threads. I know I get so excited thinking about the truck when its done that I have a vision of everything just working out perfectly. Then I read posts like the one about the door alignment issue, YIKES!!!!!!! Fun turns to grief quick. But, with awesome advice like I've gotten already, anyone can work through an issue.
Also, its nice to see a lot of locals from around the Houston area on here also. I'm about 45miles east of Houston. Again, thanks to all, and keep it coming.

Kevin
