Re: 1947 Panel Truck Frame swap with ’88 k2500

Modifications have been done to the frame bracket template. It now clears the front end and the Z-axis points have been determined. I want the body to ride at or near stock height, so the 2” wood blocks won’t be used. The 2” hat channel cross sills will be replaced with 1x2 tubing layed flat. This will put the bed as close as possible to the frame. All other mounting points are lowered about 3” relative to the bed mounts. Now all the brackets can be tacked in place, and the body will be test fit.
