Re: 1954 3100 C4 Tube Chassis Build
Thanks guys, Yeah the name change threw some people off. Figured STOCKISH fit since thats how I like my trucks. And my trucks licene plate will read STOCKISH as well! fabguy, I hadnt planned on attaching the rear frame rails to the front crossmember, however, it wouldt be a bad idea, maybe a little overkill though? My plans were to end them at the firewall but nothings set in stone quite yet.

Re: 1954 3100 C4 Tube Chassis Build
Hey Sid, Plans are to bolt the dog bones through the chassis, but depending on any issues I may attach the bracket to the rear of the kickup. Again, nothings set in stone.

Re: 1954 3100 C4 Tube Chassis Build
Didnt touch it this weekend. I took my wife to Charleston SC this weekend just to kick back and relax. It was a nice change of pace. Did you get your care package yet?

UPS ground. They guaranteed it by Friday? Hope you get it soon. Hate to have lost that stuff, that was my biggest worry.

Re: 1954 3100 C4 Tube Chassis Build
Slight progress tonight. Made the crossmember to stiffen the chassis and mount the batwing to. Hope to be a roller tomorrow!

Re: 1954 3100 C4 Tube Chassis Build
Nice. Couple more brackets and mounts and it'll be a "driver"!

Re: 1954 3100 C4 Tube Chassis Build
Thanks Matt, I got the bigger sleeves pressed into the batwing bushings today to accept the 5/8 bolts. Everything is nice and tight now. Slowly but surely.
