well i did a lil "work" on the chassis over the weekend, basically hauled it in the shop and stripped it down to bare rails. i think the new plan is to use 6x3x.250 tube from the front frame Z to the bed kick-up section.... im probably just being lazy, but it looks much quicker and easier than splicing, boxxing, and grinding the 7'ish section of frame. do the math, thats 28'+/- of welds that dont need to be delt with.

so, there will be an extra stick of tubing on this weeks steel order, frame jig should be clear in the next couple weeks just incase i get some "free" time.
