Re: The "Ole 69er"

Got the tubs welded together , sanded and placed in the bed thanks Dude!! Still have to do some work to the bed to sit them flat so we can bolt them down, hope to have the axles back tomorrow and get the rearend on the ground. seems to be leaning on the passenger side a bit and we think its the body bushings being shot. Gonna put all new bushings in and see if that fixes it, lets hope. More when I can, thanks for staying tuned in!!
