[Second Series]

Thanks Joe, I feel the same about the functionality of the bed. The panel truck bed will be as close to the frame as possible. The cab floor is lower than the bed and the donor frame is lower under the cab, so it should work good. It looks like the cab floor will be near the level of the top of the transmission, so no hump needed. I dig that red truck, I don’t think mine will be that high, one of the reasons I will not use a solid front axle. Not much progress this week, but the plan is to remove the rear end and build a body mount template out of 1” L-stock. You may notice in the picture in my previous post, the frame appears to be higher in the rear driver side, we’ll check that at the alignment shop. We’ll use the brackets and frame ends from the ’47 frame. The original frame had extensions on the rear.
