worked on my truck some . . .
got back to working on my truck a little bit . . .
also built a new rear bumper with pintle hitch . . . 2x6 square 1/4 wall, slide a piece of 1 1/2 c channel to keep from crushing at pintle hitch . . . the angle iron perpendicular to the bumper is notched to go under it so it's not just butt welded . . . . . they also bolt to the frame with 8 (4 on each side) 9/16 bolts to the side and bottom of the frame and goes all the way back to the factory crossmember . . think i might make another brace to run back to the 3x3 crossmember a little further forward for extra capacity/frame streigth . . the angle is 3x3 3/8ths thick . .
gotta weld everything up and change bolts in pintle hitch (all i could find for mock up purposes)
still gotta cut my old hitch braces off to get it out of the way

Re: worked on my truck some . . .
blah, for some reason I was thinking you had a newer body s10. I like it though. You could have at least got matching coils for the rear. 
Is that a full floater 14 bolt?
