Laid it out on the floor and shimmed the pieces until all was true (used a 5 axis laser and a 6 ft. level). Clamped it, tacked it, rechecked it, then welded it. A friend, whose a journeyman fabricator was in charge. After the screw jacks were added and all was level, I welded in more cross members and verticals. Then welded the truck frame pieces to the frame table. When all is finished welded I will cut the truck frame away from the frame table, then I will try to find a place to store it until my next project. I'm very short on space, maybe I should just sell it.
