Yeah, I've been gathering info on it for a while. I was hoping you had some secret truck magic you could share, but that's okay. Its 12 removed just behind the rear cab mounts and 8 removed from the rear for a total of 20 inches. Lots of good threads on here to make one, such as myself, sound more smarter about things n stuff.

Great work! Off to the blaster next?
Oh that little beast will be getting the royal treatment on them ther headlights! I just barely put the trans back in it and still have to get it registered.

With the frame I still have a couple little things to get removed. I'm thinkin I'm going to remove the crossmember before I can decide what I'm doing. I'm on a very VERY tight budget as work is just picking up for the season, so the little things, suspension and so on, will get blasted, but I'm going to see how far i can get on the frame with oven degreaser, a pressure sprayer, and a wire wheel. I don't mind the time consumption it will involve, especially if it saves me some money to spend else where.
