Re: What did you do with your truck today, Part 3

Well, the whole setting up the front end and having to modify the frame would suck to have to do once it's powder coated so I would have to put that off. Thus, pulling the cab on and off the frame a few times while I set up the suspension and section the hood and some other things. From how I see it now, I can go ahead and powder coat the frame and just make it bolt in, it will require next to no mod on the crossmember and nothing outside of drilling holes in the frame. So this is REALLY good news.

Do you have a thread started on this Restoration? Sounds like a good follow if you do.
