SLEEPY 73 update - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

So the frame was bent and is now straighted out, waiting on rad support bushing kit to come in. But it didnt take care of the turning issue it has.
I am thinking it may be a bad gear box and of getting a diffrent one. I have one that I was going to use in my '60 , so if the gear cant be centerd, I 'll try that.
The doors will be goin on next. Slow progres, pics to come soon.
