Re: 69 c10 -- first project!!

well this time equipped with PROPER POWER TOOLS haha we got the frame cut, shortened, welded and plated!!! was really suprised how do-able the job was. took the frame over the the gf's parents garage due to lack of space, 220wiring garage, welding machine and welding experience in my garage.
worked out well, her brother and I did all the grinding and he did all the cutting and welding. he's a 35yr veteran welder so i had full confidence.
we ended up using the 12" piece we cut out of the frame for the fishplate, just cut one flange off and swapped sides and filled it in, should be super-duper strong far as im concerned!!

heres some pics of the battle..........
