Sweet! Be sure to keep us posted on the DM install.

bmeredith · 12-30-2008, 12:53 AM

i just recently got the DM back from powder coat so maybe this weekend i'll be able to get that buttoned up. i still need to get a R and P steering box though

Nice looking work. Clean welds. You should consider starting a thread in the "projects and build" section for your truck!

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.

chas350 · 12-30-2008, 11:21 AM

that front frame looks like its in great condition.
How is the rear half i see you have cut it off.
any pics of the rear section?

bmeredith · 01-01-2009, 10:17 PM

yeah i'll take some more pictures this weekend and thanks for all the kind words

bmeredith · 01-03-2009, 12:14 AM

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

bmeredith · 01-03-2009, 12:18 AM

And i made some progress with the DM on hangover day, i mean new years day!

this is just for mock-up, i still need to drill out some holes and get some control arms, rack and pinion, and paint the front half of the frame

chas350 · 01-03-2009, 08:34 PM

ask and you shall receive: Haha, send me that frame!
Nice looking steel, wish mine was that good.

bmeredith · 01-04-2009, 04:44 AM

well i think shipping would kill that deal, maybe if you were closer i'd consider it!
