Re: My 73 c10 project.....
i had some time to think about the changes i was gonna make on the backhalf...... i was off the last 2 days and was able to do some work one thing i know for sure i needed to do was hack off the bed frame since im gonna run my stock gas tank like i did on my 77 i also started to plate the inside and outside of the frame where the notch meets the frame and make it nice and strong i should have done this before but now is my chance here are some pics....

Re: My 73 c10 project.....
i got rid of the bridge also..... the brige wasn't going to work unless i enlarge my notch 2 inches from the top so i decided to cut it off and forgot that besides welding i had drilled holes to fit the bridge pipe in the notch so i had to fish plate it.....
