Man that’s some great work! My original frame was rusted out pretty bad so we swapped to a K5 frame. I’ve been looking for another frame since moving west. If I find one maybe I’ll go this route. Looks like you did a great job!

Re: 1999 4x4 frame clip to 1955 3100

I really like the way you did this. Great fab work. I went a different route by putting my 57 on a 05 Silverado 4x4 frame and using the 57 frame under the cab as a sub frame. If I do another one and I might I’m going to do it the way you did.
I eliminated the torsion bar setup and went with coil overs using Atomic fabperformance brackets. Rides really nice.

Nice looking truck you’ve got there... kind of looks like mine!
Sorry for the rotation, I don’t have on my phone that will post correctly.
