Well its been a year and all I managed to get done was cleaning the hardware. Quick questions for you guys that have done frame off restorations on these trucks. Anyone notice a twist in their frames? Laid mine on the concrete and when I step on the right rear corner the left front corner pops up. Its not extreme but I know how little things can amplify when parts go together and at the end of the day I don't want to put this truck together and see a twist. The truck didn't look as though it had a twist in it before dismantling it but hard to tell since the truck was not a solid color. The bed floor didn't look as though it was ever overloaded or abused and the bracing is all straight. Not sure it the frames were manufactured with a slight twist to compensate for loading weights.
