I have a frame that i want to start bagging, how long is the 2x4 and how are you determining where to put it? i see its angled, is that to the front or the back? i cant really tell from the pics

the 2X4 is around 4 feet long and what you want to do is located where the lowest point of the frame is which normally hangs pass the pinch weld the whole purpose is to get rid of the lowest point of the frame so the cab becames the lowest at that point.... just c clamp the 2X4 against the top and it will line up by itself...

[luifer76]

i hate this part but in the next couple days im gonna be cutting the bottom of the frame...... got to go to lowes and pick up some good sawzall blades cause my grinder and cutting wheels wont cut it for this....

[luifer76]

it looks like is angled because the frame starts going up towards the rear of the cab but is actually against the top of the frame and c clamped to hold it in place so the top of the frame and the 2x4 is welded together....

[luifer76]

well i got some more work done in the last two days but i couldn't post any updates cause my internet modem took a crap and i had to go exchange it at the local cable office but here is what i did yesterday and today... i got the bottom of the frame trimmed on both sides....

[luifer76]

the dewalt demolition blades worked out pretty good....

[luifer76]

some upside down welding not fun at all....

i normally just run them along the frame and use metal clips with rubber inserts to hold them in place....

[luifer76]

little update i did a little more work before i stopped today and since im taking tomorrow off and im just gonna chill i started getting lazy already lol... i didn't like the way the Z and the 2X4 looked like where they met so i went ahead and boxed it in....

we had nice couple of days here in SoCal it was little sunny so it was a perfect to get some work done..... yesterday i relocated the wiring plug to where my finger points to on the first pic and i started to cut the firewall so i could tub it here are some pics....

[luifer76]

i also started to tub it and got it all tacked and i seam sealed the s**t out of it from the inside and outside.....

[luifer76]

im gonna wait a couple days until the seam seal drys and flap disc it to smooth it out....

[luifer76]

here is what i did today....... i started to cut the lca's i hope this is the last time i do this lol.... i also ended up shortening them by 3/4 of an inch i was gonna do an inch but i remember my buddy eddie told me an inch will give me the butterfly effect even with all the shims out he said he's been there done that before so i went with 3/4' here are some pics..
