Re: My Dusty 71 GMCe Electruck
Always leave us hanging, waiting for what's next. Nice work on the rounded corners.

Re: My Dusty 71 GMCe Electruck
I seriously found this metal piece sitting at a side of a dumpster a few years back, that's the quality of parts we are dealing with here people

Re: My Dusty 71 GMCe Electruck
What, no bed frames? That looks like real steel!
Should hole the weight and torque very well.

Re: My Dusty 71 GMCe Electruck
just a suggestion. the way that you have the ears of the mount, up and down, will make for difficult removal in the future. if you turn the mounts on the frame 90 degrees, facing front to back, you will be able to remove the mount. FYI, love what you are doing and I get most all of the Vice Grip Garage type slang you use.
keep up the good work. following along for the craftsman ship you are putting it to it.

Re: My Dusty 71 GMCe Electruck
you know what they say: "Grinder 'n Paint make me the welder I aint!"
seriously though, the back side had to be ground flat to mate with the trans bell housing plate, feel me? the front was ground to hide the crappy welds! |
