I'm assuming that I can use the kit from a pickup and will just have some left over? I'd just call the company and ask, but the last time I did they told me to talk to"Spanky". 41GMC COE http://s579.photobucket.com/user/nd69/library/Miss%20Betty

'37 GMC T-18 w/ DD 4-53T, RTO-610, 6231 aux., '95 GMC running gear, full disc brakes, power steering, 22.5 wheels and tires. '47 GMC 1 ton w/ 302, NP-540, 4wd, full width Blazer front axle.

If so, I was thinking about doing this but the frame flexes so much it seems like it would eventually damage the cab? 41GMC COE http://s579.photobucket.com/user/nd69/library/Miss%20Betty

You don't actually have left-overs. Same mounting holes and bolts as the COE... just different sills.

I did not realize the back sat on a wood strip. Just hadn't got into it that far. I have it bolted back on now and will replace with grade 8 as I clean up and paint. 41GMC COE http://s579.photobucket.com/user/nd69/library/Miss%20Betty
