I would like to know what kind of paint your using? For the frame and body etc.
Also what is the thickness of the steel tube for the frame rail sections? 3/16 ths???
And are the other dimensions approximate to the factory rail and beam sections?
Very excellent job, is it all welded wire feed?
Yah hopefully the guy that originally started this truck reads this because it was a mess. We used Rustoleum for the frame and we are going to use tcp global hot rod flatz for the paint.
the frame is 1/4 inch thick and we used the same dimensions as an original factory frame. My dad tig welded everything on the frame and wire fed and tig on the cab.
