Well aware of the frame issue, I crawled all over/under it before I even shook his hand ,and made the deal. The frame looks suspiciously cleaner than the rest of the chassis, and undercarriage. It may have been replaced, but it was def. undercoated.
Have to finish up putting a flywheel in a customer's Surbaban today, then this goes straight on the rack, to remove the trans, and replace the clutch. I'll post up some in progress pics throughout the weekend. And to think I was going to take it easy this weekend, nonsense.
