Re: Finally starting my Longhorn 4x4 conversion

Last night I finished up my new trans cross member, and this morning I mounted it on the truck. I had Nick help me hold up my last cross member and we got it tacked up. I welded it in place and started welding my spacers for the trans cross member on the frame. Nick cut the pieces we needed to modify the radiator support some more. He ground the surfaces and marked them, and I welded them in. We still have to build some reinforcing plates to help stiffen the support up. Tonight I'm going to build the trans mount, and in the morning I'll weld the tabs to the cross member. The heat and humidity is here too by the way!
