53-Gas Tank/Crossmember/Boxed Frame/Parking Brake installed

[53lochevy]

Got the frame completly boxed with the boxing plates from progressive along with the crossmember I had bent up last week or so for 60 bucks in pipe and 60 bucks for the pipe bender. I just had a birthday yesterday and got the tank as a present from you know who thats right my Mom hehehe she asked what I wanted and what else does a gear head want hehehehe. I had to do alittle midification from the drawing that I had drew last week but it all went in great. If you look at the pic of the gas tank you can see the stock rear croosmember has been modified first cut the ears off the side and keep them you will reuse them later when you trim the crossmember as seen in the pic along with cutting the opening for the sending unit. Will put the anti-squeak between the side rails and the two straps underneath in final assembly. Still have to put the cross pieces to tie the crossmember together on both sides 3each side. Should get the air tanks installed this weekend inside the crossmember goal is fitting everything out of sight and tuck it neatly underneath her. Also modified the parking brake assembly as you can see by the pic I wanted to keep the parking brake because all the rest of the stock pedal are going to be gone and I wanted to keep that assembly in the truck I like the old looking parking brake in the floor along with the handle inside the cab on the side. Order the notch plates for the rear will get that done next week also. Boxing the frame and crossmember install along with the rear the frame is really stirdy and will be able to step on the gas alittle harder if ya know what I mean. Enjoy the pics and let me know what ya"ll think of the build so far. I really appreciate all the responses and this site is great for finding anything you what to know.

Thanks all
