Thanks Jess, I know a lot of this from reading on the forum here, Also I did take auto body in vocational school before I went into the military ;) The other project is my bosses 75 k10 he bought when he was 16 and is restoring for his son with an ls2.

The crossmember seems to be well but I have not added my rear shocks yet.

Spring would be fine with me but there is still yet quite a bit of work, all the body has to come back off, probably end of next week I will start taking it back down to get it ready to paint. :chevy:

Ride on over one day and check it out ;) I am close to taking it back apart to finish up the motor build and the transmission I am probably going to be going with a 200r4 or 700r4. Also about to start prepping to paint everything and then reassembly :chevy:
