Re: building my first lowered truck
worked on the chevy a bit today.
first i got the last of the inconsistenties out. the bottom lip of the frame hung past the boxing of the frame and the top lip wasn't long enough, also there was that random bent up part on the passenger side. BEFORE: ![]() AFTER: ![]() ![]() ![]() i also sanded most of the casting marks off of the UCA mounts. ![]() ![]() then i sanded a part of the notch to see what was under the rust. lol ![]() after that i welded the bed mounts back on, tried to replicate the rivits ![]() ![]()
