Default APT update

Spent a bit of time on the front end, straightened the front frame rail ends, right one was down about an inch. Tried heating it with the rose bud but success was limited. Finally used my back hoe by lifting the truck on the one frame rail chained together with the left frame rail and dropping it. The trick was to stop just before hits the ground, it's all in the timing! Took reference measurements frequently. It worked out quite nicely. Next job is the front axle and finish the brakes. Special thanks to John Bizal at Midwest military for getting the bumper ends to me so quickly!
