Re: Buildin my 88 Crew Cab long bed AKA STRETCH!

Once i had it positioned i slid the knotch i had removed in the frame and centered it over the rearend. I centered it by measuring from the center of the knotch back to the rear spring perch making the driver side match the passenger.You can see in the picture how much i had to move it forward. Ended up being about an 7/8in forward. Once this was achieved i clamped the front and tack welded it into place.After the front was tacked it was time to make measurements with my degree wheel and measure and meaure several times making sure it was in the right spot before i tacked the back and then finally welding it in place
