Re: 66 4x4 my sons new project

Yeah we'll see. Its true I have yet to bolt anything else down. The cab was just sitting loose on the frame and the front bumper was just hanging by two loose bolts. But when I had the front wheel 18" off the ground the cab was a tripod with a 3" gap between the 4th mount and the frame...

I think for now I'll just leave it the way it is, especially because I really only have another month or so to get this thing road-worthy. But in a future rebuild phase I think I'll box the frame and do welded in crossmembers.

I have two weeks off for vacation so lets see what else I can get done!

It just occurred to me that maybe I should start thinking about getting the exhaust system installed before I put the body on permanently.
