Thanks a LOT! I hadn't come back to this thread til now and just saw this or I'd have thanked you before. I'll give him a call and get a "SWAG" - Scientific Wild Ass Guess - what the price will likely be?

JJ, may I ask? Why did you bolt the straight portions of the frame to the front/rear? Why not weld them?

Dan, the PB dropmember is designed to bolt up to the factory rails using a few original holes in them, so I went that route with the new rails. I may still go back and weld it all together!

Some familiar members here Dan & JJ on recent posts I thought I'd chime in myself with a couple of more recent pics of my GMC.

I am starting to feel bad for my truck in that nobody (me) posted pics of it.
I will try to fix that.

Is that Arte Moreno's Jet in the background?

Re: How about some pics of 47-59
 
yes, I worked for him as his aircraft mechanic for 16 years on his Falcon 2000 till he sold it.

Now I am looking for work in the same capacity as aircraft maintenance manager on either a Falcon 2000, 900, or 50.
I could also go back to Gulfstreams, in that I have about 20 years experience on Gulfstreams.
The GIV's and 450's and 550's are fantastic airplanes
