Re: Uncle Howard's 1946 Chevy Truck
I have gotten lots done. I had to move the rack notch plate holes back about 1/4" then I first measured because it fit so much better and was easier to remove and install the rack. I have seen pictures of several of these jobs done, and I am not always pleased with the way the inside of the frame is modified. I went the extra step and made plates that weld in front of the Flat Out Boxing plate, and I welded them smoothly into the front crossmember. I have a little more grinding and cosmetic work to do, but you can see the main idea.
When I am all done with all the course welding and work, I am going to take everything back apart and mount on a reciprocating tool so I can weld / grind much easier - with gravity working for me!
