I need some guidance on the frame. Since I am going to 5 lug disc brake it, and swap axles, I'm going to run new brake lines and get the wires for the taillights and such all tucked into the frame, so I'm going to go ahead and pull the cab and engine and c-notch it, etc...
Other than the bump stops, what parts of the frame can I/should I get rid of at this stage? I don't have the option to sandblast, but I can wire brush the hell out of the frame and paint it, so I so now is the time to remove any useless frame stuff.
