    1990 Z-71 Removing Frame rust and protecting it.

    It worked on some of the rust but too much rust to remove all. I took it to a friend and he sand blasted the remaining rust off. Then coated it with an undercoating made for undercarriages.

    1990 Z-71 Removing Frame rust and protecting it.

    I ran out of time trying to purchase parts and install them so I decided to take it to a friend and he sand blasted the frame and put a tough protective coat similar to rhino liner except it was made for undercarriage protection.

    1990 Z-71 Removing Frame rust and protecting it.

    After removing my old truck bed I noticed that much of the frame has surface rust. Before I install a new bed I plan to remove the rust and then paint/undercoat the frame.

    1990 Z-71 regular cab & bed alignment problem

    I'm replacing my 1990 regular cab Z-71 pick-up bed and noticed that the cab is about an inch lower than the bed making the lines of the truck look bad. I'm assuming that the cab has dropped over the years causing the miss-alignment. Does anyone know the best way to fix this miss-alignment issue...
