damage to frame need some advice about pic 2 pic 1 shows a repair and 3 is a frame end

First,... did you tell Teeitup you would take it?
Now you are trying to decide if you want to back out?

You were just about to shorten your swb frame and fab all the new tub mounts, correct?

A few repairs like this shouldn't be a problem,...

[ClifBlazer]

no he is asking me if I want to cool I got you here what will I need for two wheel frount end

[lolife99]

That hole in the 4x4 front crossmember won't matter since it will be removed.

You need a good 2wd disc brake (complete) crossmember assembly with all steering components.
Auto trans crossmember.
And you need to decide if the rear suspension is going to stay leaf spring or will you be changing to coil spring.

thought you when away sent pm more questions you where saying some thing about 73-87 trucks could be used for that

Eleven inches cut

between the trailing arm crossmember and where the automatic tranny mount would be.

That is how i got mine.

[brian26]

I would do something different next time though--


I like the material thickness of a 3/4 ton 2wd frame........ Less flex

[ClifBlazer]

well i have a new adition got a half ton lwb frame with pos.5 lug on coil springs with a disk brake 5 lug coil front end I will be puting on the blazer frame pics will come later
