Re: ?? Gmc Project truck

same notes for me with the added question of the front wheel centering in the wheel opening. that cant be changes so if you don't like it or the tires will rub when turning or when turning over bumpy road conditions then it is a lot of work to make it work. check the welds on the front end and also look at the rear axle mounts because these trucks came with a pivoting rear axle mount due to a differnt style of driveshaft configuration. check inside the rear fendrs at the back sides of those welds as well so you can see the quality of work done on the sheet metal. it is flat paint right now so you don't see bumps and humps well. what I do there is get them wet with some wax and grease remover-or water ifheletsnyou- then look at the light reflect off the shiny surfaces. look inside the doors to check how the handles were removed, look at how the front end sheet metal was cut off to check squareness, use a plumb bob and marks on the floor from the wheel centers and measure the wheelbase on each side.
