    Yeah, I caught that part with the red. Thanks. I think I'm just gonna go to a yard with a tape. Without knowing what all the codes mean, I'm curious about a few of those measurements.

    I bet you're fun at parties where people have a difference of opinion. I like how you assume I'm an idiot because I'm looking at doing something the way you wouldn't.

    I have searched the forum and google and haven't really found a good answer to 2 questions I have. I plan on moving the spring perches and chopping the rear off the frame. I want to keep the truck as original as I can as there's sentimental value there, so a frame swap is off the table. I'm even...
