Thanks for the comments, I appreciate it! Nice catch with the tubular crossmember, I had that one mocked up there and then later realized that it's actually the rear crossmember at the back of the frame. The holes just lined up so well in the front though! Thanks for keeping an eye out!

The big update is that we found out the first week of August that my wife got the job out in Ohio! So we are moving out to Columbus, OH, the first week of October. We are actually in the process of buying our first house, so we're putting everything towards that right now. My truck will stay in Maine until next spring and then we'll tow it out to Ohio. I'm going to have to find a body shop in the Columbus area, so if anyone has any recommendations, it would be greatly appreciated!

Hey Rick,

Congrats to your wife on getting the new job and the new house. Hope the move goes smoothly! Totally selfish of me, but I was literally telling my wife this morning that I wish I knew someone in Columbus who could pick something up for me. I may have to ask a favor of you if you are willing. I'll shoot you a PM soon.
