Re: i don't know what i'm more excited about... pics
Nice looking work. Clean welds. You should consider starting a thread in the "projects and build" section for your truck!

Re: i don't know what i'm more excited about... pics
Great work!! One of these days I would like to put a welder in my shop, and on another day learn how to use it.
Thanks for the pics.

Re: i don't know what i'm more excited about... pics
ask and you shall receive:
here is a couple of the rear half of the frame i cut off    Nothing was wrong with it. the PO had installed the notch and bags on the stock arms. It's just not what i wanted for mine. I bought the frame just because my original frame was beyond repair |
