That's a good idea. That will fill up some of that space.

Awesome build

! Will it be able to lay frame with the CV ifs? I am about to start working on my 66', and I plan on bagging it. What is the ETA on the finished bagged suspension?

From what I've been told it can lay frame if your make clearance for the tie rods but if not its around an inch off the floor. Im hoping to get a lot done by the end of this month and get it back driving.

Got my notches put in earlier. Look pretty good and feel very sturdy.

I've got the axle almost ready to tac weld to the bottom of the frame so I can set my 4 link up. I've just got to grind all the crud off it. I've already got the spring perches and the shock mounts taken off.

Pulled the passenger fender off to replace and to give better access to install the bags in the front. The same will be done on the drivers side since I also have a replacement fender for that side too.

Just scored a "Right" bed for $75. The floor and tailgate are worthless. Will have to find a tailgate but the floor was going to come out anyway for the air ride.

Drivers side had little crease in it. Will have to fix that.
