Re: 1967 Shop truck from a beater [build ]

Ok, got an early start this morning, as my goal was to have it back in one piece before having to stop to get ready for church. Made it. with the plates in go ahead and cut 2 inches off the drivers side and 3 inches off the pass side. That clears your x member on your cab rear and starts one in the front frame before the other goes in. May not be as important if you have help, but I am doing this all by myself so I had to be resourceful. Once you start the to slides in the frame, set up your floor jack right below the driveshaft opening in the x member. Get a wood block and beat it on in some. I took a come-along and wrapped the rear frame with a point on the front to keep good tension. Five minutes and it was back together. Lowered the cab a little and started the cab mount bolts and measured a few points and compared them to my short bed frame. Perfect. Going to weld it up after while and start putting it back together.
