Ok, I'm back! Hope everyone had a great Christmas and yes, it's still victimville! Now where I left off. After the truck is resting on the steel uprights on the front (firewall area) and back of the frame, I made a jig to make my front frame stubs.
I took the pic after I cut it off but you get the idea. I bent some chunks of .125 over in a vise and tack welded them to a piece of metal I had laying around. I then took a black sharpie and traced the corners on the concrete so I could slide it back when the new clip is on, to see where my bumper stubs go! A rod builder by the name of Dave Gauss told me me these ideas of using your floor as a jig. Great idea!
