Some more of the rear cab seam...

Here's some pics of how it sits with the 22's (265 35 22's... 29.3" tall). Pretty low? I guess it wasn't low enough... the customer requested a 1" body drop so the pinch-weld would rest on the ground. See those tires? They are already touuching the hood (on the seem where my finger is pointing)... this will have to be addressed as well.

Here's some pics of the body drop... removed the core support and cab mounts... drilled some holes one inch lower than the factory upper rivet holes... trimmed the mounts so they fit the frame-rails and don't hang down. I just bolted them in for now to check fit. Once everything is bolted together and fit properly, the truck will get blown apart and the mounts will be welded to the chassis. I thought it was plenty low enough earlier...

Since the tires are having issues with the hood clearance we decided to make some changes. (This mod is not an original idea... Grant customs has done this to a few 67-72 trucks in the past).

A few more... I tacked up the two edges on the fenders and will fire up the TIG welder tomorrow and make em one piece.

You can see in the previous pics where I have marked all the cuts with tape... my finger is also pointing to the lower edge of the hood where it folds over and is pinch welded... it is important to remove this edge on the hood piece and the fender piece.
