Dru's 86 longbed project

[Dru]

Thanks guys.

nbpro, lol there was actually a time when I said I'd never own a longbed, but they have grown on me, and I originally wanted a work truck, something I could haul 10 ft. sheets of drywall in, without supports. Its turning into a bit more of a hot rod, than a work truck though, lol. I've got to flip that rear as soon as I find a good 8 lug posi, and have some money in my pocket, the sport rake I've got going on there is a bit much.

Meatman, yeah not too far away, I've actually never made it up to Topeka though, but I think it would be nicer to live there, than here in Wichita.

TheWhiteElephant, yeah they are matching wheels/tires. I'm really not sure whats up, but its certainly turning out to be a problem. There is about an inch difference, and the tire has pulled down my fender lip a couple times now. I could roll the fender lip up a bit, for clearance, but that's not the fix I'm looking for.

I'm not sure if A: my frame/body is crooked. B: The earlier crossmembers dont match up. C: Its a common problem with these trucks, like the lean. I may create a thread trying to see if more people have ran into the issue, as I dunno how many read this thread, and happen to have dealt with it.

I noticed the earlier crossmember didn't fit as tight on my frame, but figured as much as these frame flex, it wasn't something to worry about. What a mess.
