I was having a hard time finding a good donor frame that was completely strait...I probably could have looked harder and found one, but I am trying to keep this truck to a short budget since it will be my daily. I may end up putting it on a swb frame anyway, so with that thought in the back of my mind, I didn't want to sink a whole lot of money into something that I might change later. The guy who helped me weld it back together owns the shop I was working in and he specializes in frame repair, so I feel good about cutting it and welding it back together. It is actually easier than cutting in a set of "C" notches.
