Re: Ol' Blue
I got the frame sandblasted to get the decades of gunk off of it. I got my TCI MII front suspension, and started on the frame. I have welded up some small holes where they used a cutting torch to take off a trailer hitch, I think. Then I started reading the instructions for the MII front end. I have measured and checked level until I'm absolutely crosseyed!
So today I trimmed the boxing plates to fit as instructed, and welded them in. ![]() Then I finished the welds so it looks smooth. ![]() So, boxing plates are done, the frame is cut out on the bottom so the crossmember will slide up into place, and it has been test fit at least once. Installing the crossmember will be a job for another day.
