fixing my flub ups
i just spent an entire weekend workin' on my 55 { nope still haven't managed to get the 53 home but she's tucked away in a nice safe place ! } . that in itself is a miracle and a joy , but i spent all the time fixing some prtty darn obvious mistakes i should have seen earlier . as we all know i put it on a 74 frame , and yes i tried again to down load pics but it will only down load one then thats it , and i was having some trouble with alignment issues . well it was pretty easy too see but i didn't . when i put the front cab mounts on i just bolted 'em to the frame rail and geuss what ..... they weren't level !!! geez i felt like an idiot ! well we got them taken care of and installed the new cab , welll .... . i had to move the rear ones up a 1/2 inch as when i modified the front ones { welded up / fabbed up some wedge shaped peices to fix it } they were in the wrong place . i created even more work for myself as when i moved 'em i had no help to pull the cab so i tried it with it on and now i have one side a tad higher than the other . even with all this though so far my alignment issues have gone away pretty much and i got my bed to cab gap right again .the only thing that has went well is i was looking to move the fe a couplr inches ahead to ease its interference problems with the firewall some and for some odd reason i had never noticed before there was holes right from the factory in plain sight to accomplish this . well enough for now and i'll get the 53 home and get some more pics of ti and the progress pics up if mr. 'putor and i can come to a mutual understanding .

As for your posting problem, is your image to big? I think the FTE system will only allow you to upload a certain amount of data. Try reducing the size of your images and see what happens. I have been sent images that were HUGE. I had to shrink them so they could open in Paint Shop Pro in a reasonable amount of time.

Two steps forward, three steps back....
...sometimes we get lucky and only have to take one step back
Look on the bright side, at least you caught it and got it fixed
