Re: My "new" 1968 c20

Nice progress
I'm not sure the metal cross members need to go in certain spots? But if they do....don't forget to number them when you remove them for clean and paint. I removed mine this winter and forgot to number them....they all look the same except one and i'm trying to see from your pictures were that would go?? Good call on keeping the long stepper.

Re: My "new" 1968 c20

Picked up the white oak for the bed. Need to plane them down they are just over 4/4 so I need to get them down to 3/4. There is more than I need as they are 12 + footers only paid for what I needed though. So lots of bits to make stuff with.
