Re: Sparky's 1978 Silverado Build "Addiction"

Worked late last night and a bit today. Progress!!!

Pictures:
1. Leveled the frame - that took quite some time and a lot of moving around the truck.
2. This is the level after the chop and the Built by Brooks LWB to SWB brackets were installed. For now, I did not install the inner brackets because I'll take it apart again after final body adjustments and panel install. I will weld the cut line, then install the inside bracket and then weld the perimeter of the outside brackets as recommended.
3. Pic of outer brackets. It's amazing how using so many factory holes snaps this thing into square and level (as long as nothing changed up front, from cut forward). I did finish installing all the bolts before proceeding.
4. Had to partially install some of the floor in order to test fit the bedsides etc.. Since I didn't fully install floor and outer metal floor support pieces, the bedsides slightly sagged about 1/8" or so.
5. Need to drop this thing!!!!!

Thanks Mike
