I have to say I'm getting better at the sheet metal work. I can build a lowboy trailer from scratch but sheet metal work is an art!! Getting better though

Beautiful work! What did you use to cut your frame? Looks very precise.

I used a plasma cutter with a straight edge as a guide and a piece of pipe as a guide for the radius. Thanks!!

Got my epoxy primer and poly primer in today. Now it's time for some light dent removal. Some mud and then prime.

Re: 1970 c10 lq9 build
What are your plans for the rear axle? I am doing a similar build but can't decide on rear wheel size because I am not sure what is involved in narrowing the rear axle.

I am going to be narrowing the stock 12 bolt. With ford big bearing axle ends to get rid of the c clips and then 4:10 gears and a posi. I will narrow it as close as I can get the backing plate to the trailing arms and then order my wheels based of of that

Re: 1970 c10 lq9 build
Thanks for the reply and that was I was thinking about doing too. I too am keeping the trailing arms so I figured that would be my limiting factor. I am pretty close by you, what do you think it would cat me to have one of the shops you work at chop my axle down? It's a 72 axle

You would need axle ends that would run you a little over 100 and then about 225 for labor for putting it in a jig and cutting down and welding new ends on
