:four:2 1/2 hrs and $80 later.:four: Well worth it. Thank for the idea Fry:metal: Now I have to go put the other side of my notch on. I think I changed my mind and I'm going with bags in front of my axle.

Re: Daverods project 66
 

Had to test fit the cross member. Went right in. The guy had it welded before I could tell him to brace it. I don't know if he did or not. By then it was to late anyways. The other side of my screwed up notch. I don't think it'll matter, other than looks. Maybe I'll weld a small piece on and smooth it down.:uhmk:

Re: Daverods project 66
 

You wont have a problem with the notch. Just make sure that in your corners it's rounded so it wont crack. I might have to cut of my old crossmember and sell it. I dont think anyone would buy it though. Looks good!

Re: Daverods project 66
 

Looks good Dave :metal:

Re: Daverods project 66
 

:metal: Really cool fabrication. :metal:

Re: Daverods project 66
 

Good idea.;) I'll git-er-dun.

Re: Daverods project 66
 

Thanks Mac & Strodder. Now all I have to do is figure out a four link. Boise car show this weekend. A watts link would be a hell of a lot less work.:lol:

Re: Daverods project 66
 

Next project? Home made Watts link.:metal: Guy said it cost him $100.

Re: Daverods project 66
 

Daverod, how much did the crossmember end up being lowered after putting it back on the frame??

Re: Daverods project 66
 

1 1/2" :sumo: $13.3 per 1/4":metal: Going to a car show this weekend going to see if I can get some dropped spindles. I guess I don't really have to worry about a Watts untill I make my rear end adjustable. It looked like a good idea and the price was right. For now I'm just put the bags on. It would be nice to get everything done so I can paint my frame. . I'm looking for another truck that I can lay frame on. This truck is my practice truck/driver. I figured I'll learn as much as I can on this one. Kind a like building houses. My first house was an old one that I gutted fixed up. Now I work on nice new big ones. I amazing how much house building and truck build really have in common.

Re: Daverods project 66
 

Hmmmm...wonder where that idea came from ??

Your work is coming out sweet man !!!

Re: Daverods project 66
 

Hey Dave can you get some pics with the frame sitting on the ground, I just want to see the clearance of the crossmember cut up.

Re: Daverods project 66
 

I don't have my dropped front spindles yet I should be getting them in the next few weeks I'll take some pics then. My old lady is getting sick of helping me move my frame.:waah:

Re: Daverods project 66
 

:haha:.....thats funny, dude.

Re: Daverods project 66
 

:four::four:Just bought me a custom cab 1964 for $400. Very little rust on the cab. Says it runs.:four::four: Going to get it now. Pics to come. Even comes with a big ugly camper and camper jacks -$100 .:lol:

Re: Daverods project 66
 

what you going to do with it. I need a rust free cab. I hate doing bodywork!

Re: Daverods project 66
 

Did I say the doors are good too. I'm going to drive it.:metal:And when the old lady pisses me off about spending to much on my trucks I'm going to sleep in the camper. Now I can build the truck I really want. Say it "Lay frame"

Re: Daverods project 66
 

Now you will be able to lay frame, and put your self to bed at the same time. If you had your air bag controls (10 Switch Box) in your hand while your in bed, you can rock your self to sleep. :haha:

Re: Daverods project 66
 

My new truck:metal:
