Re: DURG's Black 65 C10

[QUOTE=DURG;5469513]

Anybody know why the grease pencil markings are always upside down from the factory?

Answer: Because the truck frames always came down the line upside down and the suspension components were lowered from above. The workers would ID the chassis with grease pencils for accountability. Right before the cab and frame were mated, they would flip the frame right-side up.

If this truck turns out half as nice as the '62 Impala, it's going to be amazing. I'll be tuning in for this build. You obviously have this stuff figured out.
