Re: My 1954 Chevy PickUp-truck

Hello,
i´ve measured up all the cross-sills and the backward frame section and realized that the area after the C-Notch is warped (don´t know if this is the correct word) downwards (round about 3/4")
I´m angry with the guys from the bodyshop...it seems that they don´t know their business or only want to make quickly money :-(

I´m again think on to order a completly new frame, but don´t know which company sells the "best one" for the amount of money you´ll have to pay. I´ve also seen that it will be difficult to get one like the 1954´s Chassis.

The other way will be customizing the bed supports but i don´t know if i get in trouble again (for example when i´m later mounting the running boards or rear bumper).

Oh man...this restoration is a endless (bad) story... i call it MONEY-DESTROYER

Have a nice time all together...Robin ;-)
