spent all day measuring and cutting the C channel to follow the old rails exactly. for the most part its ok but for the life of me i just coudlnt get the three straigthr sections to sit straight without messing all the otehr angles up (by 3 straight sections, its wehre the new style 3 cab mounts attch). then at the end of the day i reaqlized. why dont i jsut continue the straigth bar from the front cab mount and that will tie in the mid mount without having to do a funky drop, and will give the whole thing way more bending support!
you can see from my mock up with scrap peices. hard to tell kind abut tomorrow ill have both sides done and a pic of it mocked up on the new chassis.
Im finally here for a weekend so im expecting to get some good progress done!
tomorrow i expect to have at leasa 2 or 3 cross braces done, and that means i can start welding it up to the outer rocker rails and have an over all package semi ready. Definitly trickiest part will be attachign this strudy piece of art to the tinny cab..i know if the cab rusts out from the top down...at least ill still be bolted to the floor!
