You are doing some incredible suspension fabrication (which we are not doing- we are staying with the stock frame, but an 8" Skyjacker, but we have boxed the frame to accept a Cummins 5.9L. Most of the work we are doing, beside the engine swap, is the interior swap to a 2011. Were in the process of fabricating the new cab base to accept the 2011 interior (dash, steering column and AC included...)
Anyway...Could you share where you found the dxf of this crew cab LB? and the 3D of the frame? Ive been searching and have not found much (there's tons of 3D, but not much that is for Solidworks or Inventor, which I work with mostly).
Besides the awesome welding and fabrication work you are doing, youve obviously put a ton of time into the cad work. Not asking for you to share all that, just need that frame and body dxf. Let me know where I can find these.
Thanks!

Thanks sir!
I drew everything that's not late model OEM CAD. If you're familiar with the programs, the 2D drawings of the frame and a tape measure on a physical frame will get you real far.
The 2D DXF body is an image I digitized and modified. It was a single cab long bed that I made into a crewcab shortbed once in CAD. It's not perfect but it's close enough.
