Re: Owen's C10
So....I've been thinking of doing a back half for a couple of weeks now, and since I can't wait any longer on a step notch, Saturday I went and bought 24' of 2x4" tube and started cuttin'.

Re: Owen's C10
Could the new frame be isolated and used as an air tank?

Re: Owen's C10
so....the weather wasn't all that great this weekend, which means I didn't get to sand blast my cab, so I found some other things to do...like fix the huge dent/crack in the drivers door......I repaired it with a piece cut from the old doors
