She's now officially a 272" wheelbase single axle straight truck.
Pulled her out of the shop and got the drop frame put into place, then backed her back into the shop and put the truck on blocks to level the frame and then leveled and aligned the drop frame section. The alignment of the 2 frames was done with a couple pieces of string..... Hey, it works, a tight string doesn't lie.
I knew I would have to cut and remove a crossmember because of the 3/8" difference in outside frame width but I was surprised at how much twist and pure misalignment the new section of truck frame had when I cut the crossmember.
Got a couple welds on the new section to keep eveything lined up until I finish welding and bolting it in.
