Re: Brave or crazy? crewcab build

Truck is all loaded up ready to go to bodydropped68's shop for its frame stretch
Looks like ill have to make 2 trips because the bed and frame doner section would not fit on my trailer with the truck. But it will all fit on the way back!

Re: Brave or crazy? crewcab build

Here is a pic of load #2. This is the bed I picked up a few years ago, havent done anything to it exepct build the cart for it. Its a pretty clean original shortbed
the best part is the floor,its very straight no waves. All the other shortbeds I've had the bed floor would pool up water in some spots!

Yea it will get a bolt in notch at some point nothing crazy. I'll probably use a cpp
notch I already have a set of their 5 in rear drop springs, not sure how heavy this truck is going to be so we'll see how low it goes.
