first off, thanks red. well its not bent too bad i dont think. the guy at the body shop really didnt know what he was talking about and he was the one that told me he thought it was bent. hes also the one that told me they didnt make a rear cross sill when he pointed to it, which is where i had to step in and correct him hahaha. im just curious though, did they have Custom model c10's with a stepside bed? thats what ill have most likely, but just curious. oh and just to clarify, are there ALL parts to bolt a stepside right on? thanks everyone i appreciate you helping.
