    "frame before & after shorting it was lot of hard work but well worth it!!"

    Time spent working with your son (or daughter) is priceless :D, my son is coming over this weekend to help me get the wheels off the GMC (I can’t lift over 10 Lbs while recovering from surgery). I need to check out the breaks and grease the bearings before I feel comfortable driving the truck again. I let the truck languish several years while I got the Barracuda Rear end, Suspension and Motor upgrades completed. This summer, when my daughter comes home from college, we will pull the motor and transmission out of her Falcon and get it rebuilt.
