Are you coming out to Carlisle again? we met at Special K's spot at the truck show last year...

We do stock the floors and all the other panels you see used. I am planning to go to Carlisle Friday or Saturday but I'll drive my Passat for the gas mileage

Yes, then just drill the required holes

While Jim works on the cab I started assembling a bed. We decided to change the stepper to a fleetside wood floor bed.

jaros44sr · 04-30-2008, 02:56 PM

Nice work Jon. Check out the '73 and up rear crossmember, it has a ledge in it that the wood sits nicely in, and it gives it a more finished look. The holes even line up for the SS rails

I think it went up 1/2" in the front. Talking to Wes a Classic Heartbeat now about getting the rear dropped further. Ever put in a "C"-Notch kit Jim?....LOL

PS: I think I better get checked for Parkinsons after seeing some of my photos

PPS: notice the belt back on the front of the motor?

No, I didn't notice. Did ya use the installer. Never did one before, but then again I never put a full cab floor in either

How far does the c notch drop it, guess we better start reading threads on c notches
