    Oh the posibilities

     



    I have a 72 Chevy Long Bed!! I have Z'd the front and a major notch in the rear.

    The dilemma:
    The frame under the cab is 1 1/4" lower than the body not allowing me to put the body on the ground.
    Should I cut the bottom of the frame and box it in, or should I cut the floorpan and lower the entire body

    Yep, channel it. But still leave a half inch of frame so that your rockers aren't sitting dead on the ground when you sit it down all the way.

    Channeling the cab would get my vote, too.... Then I'd probably have to chop the top as much as is possible to maintain head room in the cab.... But then I like to chop tops!!!! Sorry, Tech.... Must of been something gone astray in my childhood or something!!!!!
