Hey everybody, I was out tonight still tearing down the old truck and started to think what I want to do with it. I have been suggested to box the framerails by a few people, none who are professionals, and I was wondering is this even useful on a 61 frame. It is in very good condition. What effect would it have. I also came to think that i was going to acid bath the frame but i started thinking, I will be driving in less than 5 months, and i want to be able to drive my truck. So i started thinking why not just sandblast the frame and paint it. Its faster and does a realitivly good job. My plan is to make it a driver, not to completely restore her. Also what safety upgrades would you suggest for a truck of this age. I was thinking disc brakes up front and maybe power steering. So What benifits would i get from boxing the rails, Acid or Blast and saftey upgrades? Thanks,

Kyle
