We moved the front wheels forward 1.5 inches so they fit the hook of the wheel well better . The back wheels also have been moved forward 1.25 inches to fit those wheel wells.

The frame has been c noched over the rear axel for clearance and has all new shocks .The rear seals bearings and brakes have been replaced along with the brake lines. The body was in good shape when I purchased it . The front cab mounts were ba, pretty common on these trucks . I decided to replace the cab mounts,floor pan, rocker panel, and step plates . These all weld together in these trucks and by replacing them all it makes the best repair . I purchased all these parts from Carolina classics they are by far the best parts money can buy . Then I sanded the truck to bare metal filled all the factory spot welds primed and blocked the truck several times using urethane primer then painted the truck using hot rod flats single stage urethane . I caught crap from my friends for going to all the trouble and work to make the body perfect and then paint it satin .
