The plan is a shakedown run much earlier than GG's/Ft.Worth. But, a good plan is alot like a marrige....sometimes it works; sometimes it don't .

A little progress tonight on the pass side truss.

I started welding the inside of the new 'truss' to the top of the original frame. I welded the areas where the reinforcement gussets were going first, then put the gussets in place to help keep the truss as square as possible w/the frame rail once the heat is applied.

With the gussets in place (& a couple of bolts/nuts for the extreme corners), I welded the remainder of the inside. I started prepping the outer edge but it was getting late so I decided to let things cool down & will try again this weekend.

There will be two additional gussets added where the 60° transition pieces will be from the top of the truss to the top of the OE framerail....
