Re: Project "Old Aux"
More Updates... Built a tubular center structure for the chassis. We will integrate the transmission x-member into the design as well.

Re: Project "Old Aux"
Sign me up! How much room is it leaving you for exhaust along the inside rails?

Re: Project "Old Aux"
looks like theres room for 3+" exhaust between the fraim rails and the new tubular braces.
I have cut boxing plates for before and behind the trailing arm crossmsmber to strengthen the center of the frame....looks like Nate came up with a much sharper solution. I have to say that looks pretty good!

Re: Project "Old Aux"
And I might have missed it, but are those custom headers or did you just undo the collector to point it out and reweld?

Re: Project "Old Aux"
Im waiting on this too. I swear I check this thread every day just to see if it has come out. Although my wife may kill me if I tear into the truck again for it considering I finally got it back together this weekend after a year and a half.
