Re: 51' 3100 build in PA New to Site


Ben,

Yeah I can get some pics, but it won't be for another couple weeks. I am leaving for vacation soon and then won't get to work on the truck until the following weekend. However I did use 2x4 inch steel and cut them almost
in long irregular triangles, welded a backing plate so I can drill holes through that and into the frame and bolt it on. There is one mount that I notched so far. Also I don't have these on yet, because that is more stuff to hit my shins off of (bumper has been claiming me). BUT, I set it up to where the three different mounting points that the running boards have, line up with my brackets I cut, so I am going to use the original mounting locations on the running boards. Now when I moched it up. I didn't have the final cab mounts on there. My cab mounts are really big and thick and I think one if not both on one side might interfere with my brackets, if that is the case, I might just relocate my the running board mounting points and relocate my brackets. Also there is stuff like driveshaft crossmember, tranny member
etc, that might get in the way of being able to bolt them on. So it just has to fall in the right places. I simply don't want to weld these on because my welder is only 110v and my frame is coated, so I have to bolt them on. Also I might actually have a pic of them[/CENTER][/CENTER]
, but not mounted. PM me your email.
