Hi, everyone. New to the forum. Just picked up a 1989 Chevy R3500; my first Square Body in 24 years or so. Didn't we used to call them Rounded Line? Oh well. This one is my first with the 81-onward nose, but it is still a Chevy though I am at heart a GMC gal.

I am really second guessing myself with this one. I knew that it had some frame concerns, but it is definitely worse than I initially thought. It is intended to be a farm truck first, but I was also hoping to do some fun things with it. I also want to lower the height of the flatbed. Anyhow, I will be poking around the forums and perhaps asking questions on frame repairs.
