Another 2 1/2 hours spent. I got the cab mounts on and the bed set into place and all lines up perfectly. So I then welded up the frame cut and had great penitration. The first two pics are of just my one out side weld and the penitration seen on the inside of the frame. I then welded up all sides and ground the out side weld about half way and I will leave it like this. I ground the inside ones flush then put a 3/16" fish plate on the inside of the frame.

I hope to start the flip kit on Wensday and I picked up a 84 blazer gas tank today for the rear of the truck. It is 25gal and will accept eather a carb or efi pick up. I need to figure out my mounts and a new rear cross member.
The only down side is that it fills from the passenger side but for $100 I just could not pass it up. What do you think?
