You can use your stock frame, weld in square tubing into the bottom inside of the frame rails under the cab then cut the frame down. Lotik did his like that do a search he posted pics.

IMO for all the work you might as well build a tube chassis rather than cut the stocker but it also depends on shop space, time and experience.

xactly. No need to make it more complicated than it needs to be.


2 3 foot sections of square, or rect tubing, and your golden! I will do this to mine when I get the front crossmember finished this winter.

I will put pics on my website for sure!!!
