New guy
Im new to chevy Trucks, been a Mopar man most of my life lol. i just bought a 1986 chevy k10 that needs a frame up restoration. i noticed on the underside of the bed the "U channel" towards the rear axle is completely shot... is this a common problem with chevy trucks? also what are the commons problems that these trucks tend to have?

Re: New guy
Welcome Aboard !!!
Not sure which "U channel" your speaking of, But I do know there's less common problems with these Chevys than there are with the same vintage slowpars....
