I've been eyeballing this thread for a while and have some questions too - in regard to bracing a stock frame, I've heard that a good rollcage does wonders for stiffening a frame. That being said is it money/time better spent on a rollcage or trying to figure out how/where to brace and triangulate a stock frame? I have no plans on boxing my frame (unless absolutely necessary), but I would like to add some bracing and/or a good rollcage to stiffen it up a bit. I'm building towards a 'Pro Touring' truck since I really like that look and functionality of that genre and love trucks. Of course like everyone else here I want to surprise the unsuspecting 'sports' car every now and then, but I don't want a glaring 'racecar' with a bed either. I have tried to choose my parts carefully and already have CPP tubular upper and lower A-arms, 4 wheel disc brakes, a quick ratio steering box, front and rear sway bars and plans to fab up some trailing arms out of 2x3 .120 or 3/16" wall tubing. Not to mention the 600hp 468" BBC and TKO 5spd transmission, and the 335/30/18 rear tires on 18x12 wheels. I've got plenty of tools and a nice welder, I just need some direction on making this pile of parts work together!
