Nice! You gonna keep the original paint on yours too?

Got a little more done. Was playing around and decided to lay the frame on the ground for the first time. The frame is resting on these little factory frame stiffener bends, do they need to be cut off? Do I need to weld in a little patch panel?

mooseknuckles · 05-10-2015, 04:22 PM

looks awesome!

tommys72 · 05-10-2015, 05:52 PM

Those rears are killer!

**nlped** · 05-10-2015, 07:32 PM

You could cut that piece out, flip it & weld it back in? I'd just cut it out and weld in a replacement piece since it's between the mounting points for the PB mega crossmember. Looks WICKED by the way.

randomco · 05-10-2015, 10:18 PM

Some mock up. Can't friggin wait.

That's what I did. Cut Then off and welded in a flat piece. Km Having A Hard Time Loading The pictures. Look at my build page

Looking Good

Slick67 · 05-13-2015, 01:08 PM

I am seeing a lot of similarities between your truck and my Blazer.......Subscribed!

randomco · 05-16-2015, 12:29 AM

52 MF'n bolts later and the porterbuilt inner frame stiffener is in! Such a piece of art, too bad you'll never see it under the cab!

66Slabside · 05-16-2015, 08:20 AM

Looking great Josh! As with you I can't wait to see this thing on the road!

Rochlow · 05-16-2015, 08:51 AM

Wish that frame stiffener was out when I did mine.

randomco · 05-23-2015, 10:30 PM

Got the rear Porterbuilt 24x15 frame notch in! Fit in great. A lot of welding on this one. Basically a half frame after is all done, only a little of the original frame left past the rear cab mounts. Coming along!

mooseknuckles · 05-23-2015, 11:32 PM

Sweet!

randomco · 05-29-2015, 10:59 AM

Got the engine and trans in to mock up trans, driveline and rear end angles. Rear end is off to the shop to be narrowed 16", add 4:10 gears with posi.

mooseknuckles · 05-29-2015, 12:35 PM
