Re: '67 Stepper "Laymond"

Hope everyone had good holidays. Mine was pretty busy with little time for the truck. Did get to spend most of the day today out in the garage for a little therapy, football and maybe a beer or two.

All the rust and stuff I keep finding and the fact that I'm a big fan of doing things right might derail the build timeline. Idecided about a month ago that a mild dropmember and control arms are on order and now may nix the c-notch for a mild rear. I'm fine with the stance of a c-notch and DM with stock fenders but the frame has a little more pitting than I'd like exactly in the area the notch would go. I'm also afraid of wishing I'd have gone lower. I still don't have a huge desire to lay frame and I feel the extreme kit sits too low at ride height for what I want to do with the truck. Plus I still want a somewhat useable bed. I think I can lose 5-6 inches in depth and not be a huge deal. We will see. I'm emailing Dave tomorrow to see my options.

Here's a pic of the pitting in the frame I'm talking about. The rest looks good as I spent some time today carefully inspecting it with a wire brush on the grinder.
