Wink Re: 8-9 seater shortbed

Got the frame squared up today. and cut to length No extra now. By the way, after getting a closer look, the frames are close to the same size, and close to the same shape, but just close. there must be some difference in either the frames from suburban to truck, or from 91-94. on the 94 suburban the frame is a perfect C-channel frame. on the 91 pickup the frame has a slight s bend in the top lip that kinda opens the c up a little. Pretty sure I can still make it work, just was a little surprised upon finding this out and thought I'd share it with you guys.

Now to trim up the sheet metal body and get these trucks Married!
