Re: 1980 Short Stepper Budget Build
Before I took the box off, I noticed that it loofed like it was sitting a little crooked. I got the tape out, and from behind the cab , to the end of the frame, the right side was about 3/4" low. I hauled the frame over to a buddy with a frame rack, and he got it nice and straight for me. It's pretty amazing how much you have to tweak one of these frames, to gain 3/4".

Re: 1980 Short Stepper Budget Build
I'm hoping to pick up the pace on this thing, I'm still trying to get all the small stuff organized in the new shop. It's never ending! I managed to get a new welder cart built, I'm going to try and use the tig more on this truck, just to try and get the hang of it. I'm not off to a great start, I welded up the drivers side drip rail holes, and ended up having to put a 2" patch in for one that blew out on me. At the time, it seems pretty easy to chase the hole,"I can still save it, one more try"
