Re: Jesses' 48 PU
Motor mounts welded in. I pushed the engine back 2 inches and dropped it as low as possible.

Re: Jesses' 48 PU
Nice work again.
I saw Idaho Fabricator's YouTube and he does some great work.

Re: Jesses' 48 PU
Thanks 8man.... It's nice to get away from the office and burn some welds, turn some wrenches. Keep fixing mistakes or changing my mind, seems I'll never get her done, but don't care how long it takes...I'm having fun and challenging my skills.

Re: Jesses' 48 PU
Got a little bit more done today. I bought the driveshaft and as I suspected it hit the rear crossmember. So that means I have to remove it and add another one further back. Only issue with that is that I have center cab mounts in the rear so I had to figure out how to deal with that. I decided to build rear cab mounts!!
I see all the S10 swaps and how they build them so, I think I can do that. Pulled the truck out of the garage, pulled the cab off, first thing......figure out where and how the cab would be secured.

Re: Jesses' 48 PU
I used 3/16 metal and welded them on the rear with the nut secured on the inside for easy install.

I got some new toys!!!
Eastwood TIG welder and plasma cutter... The plasma made fast work of cutting the 1/8 metal. No more noisy cutting wheels

Re: Jesses' 48 PU
Used cardboard to draw out the pieces. Transferred them to 1/8 metal and cut them with my plasma....
Did I mention I got a new toy???

Re: Jesses' 48 PU
I tried TIG welding, but I need practice and this is not a piece I want to take that chance so MIG'd them.

Re: Jesses' 48 PU
I fab'd and welded the new cross member/brace with the loop for driveshaft clearance. I had a piece of 2x5 with 1/8 thick wall laying around. Bought the loop from Jegs and got busy. Turned out okay I guess... Tried my Tig skills again, but failed, need practice... I was thinking of closing in the bottom to make it a solid piece, just feel it will flex with the bottom part open.

Re: Jesses' 48 PU
OH yea, you can see the rear cab mounts I fab'd. I haven't welded them in just yet as I want to make sure nothing changed when I removed the original cross member. Oh and even worse, I have a huge dilemma... My rear axle is one inch off center... I realized that when I put in the driveshaft... Rookie mistake I guess. So now I get to redo that too... It's a 10 bolt I bought off craigslist came off a 2000 S10 blazer. A friend said I should cut one inch off one end and either add it on the other or add a wheel spacer if it clears the frame.
I'm thinking if I'm going to do all that, might as well cut up a 9 inch or 8.8 Ford diff.. Need advise guys, what is my best option. I am running an LS engine with a 4L60.

Re: Jesses' 48 PU
It was a normal week, traveled to my Dallas and San Antonio office, came back home Friday. All week I thought about working on my truck, the trans tunnel I needed to build...
So today I did just that, mocked it up using poster board...
