Re: Long box to short box
-
First off ![]() There is a lot of different information in the FAQ forum. Scroll down to the bottom of this page and you will see the "Forum Jump" box. Click on the little down arrow on the right side of the box and scroll down to "FAQ Truck Tech". On that page go down to "Thread/Thread Starter: FAQ Index Thread". When you get into that scroll through the different sections and you will find answers to questions you haven't even thought of yet.... ![]() I could have just posted a direct link but there is a lot of good info in the FAQ section and now the people that read this thread will know how to get to it. Thanks to Krue for indexing the FAQ's I shortened a frame using the instructions in the "Brakes and Suspension related FAQ's" section and it worked out great. I think there are also threads on installing air bags and static drops. You might want to check out the "Projects and builds" forum for some good info too. LockDoc

Re: Long box to short box
I would just add to look around and consider boxing the frame.With the torque you'll have it may need the strength.

Re: Long box to short box
Thanks for the thought PanelDeland, this little engine is rated @ 105 BHP & 265 ft lbs torque. I am going for unique and fuel economy, not monster truck. That being said, I was planning to glove the frame app 2' centered on a 45* cut and weld.
