Part way into the build I found a place called Tinworks Fabrication in Tennessee that had some slick crossmembers and LS swap parts that I liked, so if you see parts in my pictures with their TWF cutouts in them now you know. The only complaint I would have about everything that I bought from them was they said that the trailing arm crossmember fit long and short beds, but that required me to notch the back of my cab a little. Not something I really wanted to do. Other than that, they have superb fitting, high quality parts that I wouldn't hesitate to recommend using.

Once I had finished wire wheeling and scraping the frame and the weather started warming up, I broke out the spray gun and painted it up in Rustoleum semi gloss black.
