Re: Wanna see some pics of your frames

You didnt say what your intend for the truck was, but regardless I would reinforce around the steering box. They are known for cracking.. and let me tell you from experience you dont want to have one rip a hole in the frame while driving.

My plans are to build a full frame for a body drop-less chassis, but only use the stock front cross member.

What direction are you taking your truck? Off-road? Drag strip?
