Re: "Crewcab Jake" the 84 to 74 conversion

Between coats on the gas tank I worked on the frame and cross brace. I decided that single bolt originally holding the brace on through a slotted hole did nothing to make the brace a structural component.

I enlarged the original hole and added a second one down lower. When I test fit it, there was no flex in the bar. It may be over kill, but I want to increase the rigidity of the frame to compensate for any flex the C notch might have brought with it.
