frame shortened, quick question...

Frame is shortended, cut on 45 and fish plated. Buddy that builds combine trailers came over and MIG'd it for me. 12 inches under cab, 8 off of tails. Got 4/6 drop kit from ECE put in after all new ball joints, tie rod ends, blast and painted. Got her back on rubber and frame sits nice and level. Question is that frame is within 3/32 of square, close enough?

Well within "factory specs".

Pretty good IMO as well.

Re: frame shortened, quick question...

Thanks guys, now I feel better about moving forward. Trans is back from overhaul TH350, eagle red clutches, shift kit, 2200 stall. Engine should be done soon. 350 .040 over with stroker kit and goodies. Goes for paint around the 20th (first phase), and tons of stuff coming back from powder coat this week. Pics to follow if I can figure out how to post em.
