I love everything but the gas mileage

The big block is swilling it down. 38 bucks in gas back and forth to work last week.

BGRAFX- thank you, i found that one, i was looking for the one ton chassis and putting the half ton rear clip on it.. i really like how ojoe did his, just the pics are gone.. thank you for you help, i appreciate it

joe231 · 01-28-2010, 06:45 PM

toomanytoyz did it the same way.

you can cut the one ton frame a bit long behind the cab, remove the rear cab mounts from the 1 ton frame, cut the 1/2 ton frame in front of the rear cab mounts, bolt up the 1/2 ton cab mounts to the cab then bolt and/or weld the frames together after you are sure you have them parallel, square, and level. pretty simple and the cab mounts help align the rear frame section

Here is a couple pics of toomanytoyz' frame

dieseldr4 · 01-28-2010, 06:54 PM

joe231- thank you! that is exactly what in looking to do.. so when you remove the rear 1 ton cab mounts, the half ton ones take their place correct?

you can reuse the same mounts, it will bolt thru both frames all of the holes will line up. also this way when you put short bed on the front 2 bed bolts will go in the one ton part of frame and the rest will go into the 1/2 ton frame. good luck joe
