"modifying"? okay you've got my attention...i'm lovin this build man i've read all 45 pages before this one like 5 times

 

as I should =P but you're going to have to wait and see what I do with it... couple months

 

Looks totally bad *** man, I cant wait to see it done. Its lookin GOOD! keep it up! and no injuries haha you still need to make a trans brace

 

haha yes I know, should be taken care of very shortly, Ill be out of school.

haha, I like I said, no rush

lookin good tho, I forgot for a couple weeks that you were rebuilding your entire truck, haha thats quite a bit of work in itself. Lookin really good tho man, real nice progress

 

UPDATES!!!!

Xmas break is hear and I want to get this frame done... so without further or do, tonights progress...

I wanted to tie in the two front crossmembers, so I began with some tubing




Checked all the clearances


Now those tie them in, lets add some strength to the front end, what's stronger than an X?

 

Can you back that bolt out on the right side of the rack????

 

Trans crossmember, the start
Cutting away with a cutoff wheel, and my almost gone sheet of 3/16"

The outcome, well I used a holesaw for the holes

Nice and tight fit

Cut the top piece

All tac'd



The welded it all together, the corner gussets are temp, going to make one piece for it tomorrow

 

Nice!
