Re: New Guys Builds
What about repairing the crack in the frame?

 That crack was not noticed when I scrubbed the frame and gave it a squirt job with black paint. It's a T shaped crack and when I set the motor/trans and cab on the frame it flexes out and opens up. I may have to drop the frame on a frame jig and see if it is twisted. If I find a SWB frame, I'll stash this one and move on.

Re: New Guys Builds
Is the crack in an area where it could be cut out while shortening it to a short wheelbase frame?
