Re: A few random questions (that I didn't find answer to in the FAQs)

Hey Jimal, I think you're missing your mounts for the rear sill. I'm 99.9 percent certain that Chevy/GMC never offered the rear "sport" bumper on the short bed K model pickups. The 4x4 Suburbans had a frame extension. The two wheel drive brackets won't fit. You'll have to fab some brackets if you want the "sport" bumper. You'll also need to fab some brackets to mount the rear sill of your bed.

I have a new, in the box sill from Mar-K. I'll have to see how it sits on there. There are a bunch of little metal plates poorly welded onto the frame that I'm going to remove as well.

This must be a thing with the earlier trucks, because my rear sill lines up just fine.
