Hello friends. I'm about to embark on the metal restoration of a 63 Cab and would like to see what others have done to brace the body/chassis.

Thanks!

Thanks! I completely forgot about that site. I'll post some pics when the project gets underway.

I remember seeing another method that had far less bracing than that. Perhaps it depends on whether they are using a Celette or octagonal jig.
