Any thoughts on this relatively simple back half? It would tie into the stock frame rails just under the cab.

And... any suggestions on something a little more lift-capable than bags in the stock locations? I don't know that I need something as complicated as valleycustom is doing here...

Sorry for the delay on responding. I would change the 2x3 rails to 2x4. 2x3 box doesn't look right on a fullsize. It looks to small.

Thanks. It looks like 2x4 is about the same price as well.

3/16" wall or 1/4" The latter sounds a bit overkill, but I thought I'd ping you first.

Also, do you think the cross tubes will work at 1.5"? Only other thing I am contemplating is to 2x4 box the tail end of the channel runs instead of that round tube. The rest would be round tube.

I'd go with 3/16" wall box. 1.5" .156 wall would be the size tubing I would use on the cross tubes. I would just box the end of the frame with another 2x4 going across. Gives it a clean look and it's stronger. You might want to maybe cross some of those tubes to provide some side to side support for the frame rails. Your going to be cutting one of the factory x members that provides this.

cornutz-or is it nonutz? congrats on your last!

*72CSTC5* · 01-14-2006, 04:39 AM

Cornutz, if they cut your nutz I think Valley could weld you up some improved nutz out of steel. Or, maybe after driving your truck with that frame under it you do not need any nutz, they just assume you have big ones.

Izzy · 01-15-2006, 07:38 PM

Best looking chassis I've seen, hands down.

Chevy_68 · 01-24-2006, 02:17 AM

Damn that frame is sick man... Keep up the bad ass fab. work man

valleycustom · 01-25-2006, 12:35 AM

Well today I started on the exhaust. I was able to get most of one side finished. When I start on the other side the two pipes in the middle will goin to create a x over pipe. Enjoy

valleycustom · 01-25-2006, 12:36 AM

FirstGen · 01-25-2006, 01:51 AM

pebbleboy · 01-25-2006, 09:58 PM
