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?

looks awesome!:metal:

Those rears are killer!

Re: "Old Olive" 1970 C10 porterbuilt build
 

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.

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!

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

Re: "Old Olive" 1970 C10 porterbuilt build
 

Wish that frame stiffener was out when I did mine.

Re: "Old Olive" 1970 C10 porterbuilt build
 

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!

Re: "Old Olive" 1970 C10 porterbuilt build

Re: "Old Olive" 1970 C10 porterbuilt build
 

I didn't measure before I'm guessing 16" wider :mm:

Re: "Old Olive" 1970 C10 porterbuilt build

Re: "Old Olive" 1970 C10 porterbuilt build
