Well, I had to trim the frame flanges more than I wanted to, but it's in and will work. It will be a PITA to replace once the truck is together. I'm contemplating making a bracket to put on the out side of the frame to help strengthen the area since I removed a good portion of the upper flange. My friend Adam started on the tcase cross member today and he enlarged 2 of the bolt holes so the tcase could be put on the back of the transmission.




Reminds me of an old Calvin & hobbs comic strip. In the first frame Calvin & hobbs are just walking, in the second frame Hobbs asks "Your idea never got off the ground? third frame frame just walking, Last frame Calvin says it sort of blew up in the hanger.
