If he doesn't , my truck has one, so I could shoot some pics of it. My current digital camera kinda sucks since I only paid $6 for it new in the clearance isle at Wal-Mart. Anything specific about it you are looking for?

I may live in Nebraska, Home of the Rust. But my frame is the only thing not turning to Swiss cheese haha.

I looked at the new thread, and it doesn't make sense to me...

I'll browse youtube, maybe I can run into a video clip explaining the holy frames.

Made sense to me....he just wants pics of the aforementioned frame, and to understand why they were designed that way. I'm interested in finding out more about them too.

Gonna pick up a carburetor rebuild kit today....I might start on rebuilding my carb today, or I might wait til tomorrow.

No it's plenty fun. I just ran out of gas. lol

I finally have enough money set aside to pick up the kit. Bout to head up to O'Reillys to get it.

Oh and I saw what I think was a late 80s or early-mid 90s Centurion conversion in Corsicana today. Definitely didn't expect it, and I saw it as I was passing by during work. Looked just like the brochure pics I've seen of them. Wish I had the money to go get it, if it was for sale.

There's also a nice little gold-colored stepside Ford at a car lot in the same town....another thing I wish I could get. :P

And Chevies are flared, but I'll bet you a dollar you never call one of them a flareside.
