Re: What did you do to your Blazer/Jimmy today?

I know it can be used for other applications but it would be a lot easier to cut it to fit rather than being short and ending up hitting the top edge of the frame rail. What a pain. Finally got the frame rail modified enough to clear the neck.
Did you take any pics when you did this? I'm gonna have to do the same thing eventually, and I threw out my old tank already...
