    85 body on 74 frame

    I’ll just set the 85 front clip on my 74 frame tomorrow as the 74 cab is still bolted to the frame and if the core support doesn’t line up I’ll just use the 85 cab and put the round eye clip back on it, plus I have a 74 core support coming in the mail next week anyways.
