well as you guys know that frame is finished, and the frame jig is now built. Pictures to come soon, and I should be ordered some mandrel bends next week for the new full tube chassis.

put a cage in is when you get scared driving it on the street, which won't take long .

Bodymounts located, I'll drill the wholes when the cab is ready to go on to make sure they're perfect.

This 1x1 represents the bottom of the new frames height, behind the cab. it will curve up and continue that plane instead of notching.
