Re: Finally starting my Longhorn 4x4 conversion
im kindah wondering if boxing the frame will cause it to crack near the crossbraces where you need to work the plating and welding around ,
wat might work is to get a second frame take both the original and the extra apart so you only have the framerails make one of those thinner cut them towart the bended part so they shut straight ontoo the other original rail and swap left to right and vice versa , cut and shut the crossmembers so they fit ontoo the inside out and thinned framerail and you still can use the original bodymounts on the outside part on the original framerails and can still fit the front suspention parts after you remount those , put the original framerails on the outside and weld them together to get a boxsection out of one piece , only the part near the front suspension needs sumting made as it bends in more than one direction its hard to explane but basicly you make the boxplates out of one piece using the extra frame and change the crossbraces to fit and be mounted to the inside plates so they dont go through the plates to the other frame and keep the original frame as is exept for the crossbraces everything mounted on the outside of those rails need to stay at the original location and at the original width
