Re: #corona10truck - 77 C-10, pancaked crossmember - z'd frame etc etc etc

I started this project when we were under quarantine around here, so I was just trying to use stuff I had laying around (and not spend any $$$$ lol)

The next step was to "Z" the frame. This was to do two things, lower the truck another 2", and also to stretch the wheelbase out by 1" to center the front end. Using the small Z & the stretch I *think* I'll be able to get a driveline in without having to build a custom tunnel for the floor (that's the idea anyhow)

Starting with behind the front suspension - I made sure the frame was leveled, then made sketches for dimensions in a bunch of spots to make sure it would go back together square and level (or at least as square and level as it started lol)
