Re: How about some pics of 47-59

JJ, may I ask? Why did you bolt the straight portions of the frame to the front/rear? Why not weld them?

Dan, the PB dropmember is designed to bolt up to the factory rails using a few original holes in them, so I went that route with the new rails. I may still go back and weld it all together!
