Today’s progress. Shortened the frame. Unlike what a lot of people have done on here, I did not cut it at the factory seam. I picked the spot where the rear cab mount will be and cut it there. Then butt welded the frame back together. Since this is a ‘99 frame, it’s boxed pretty far back. So the body mount will act as a fish plate on the outside and I will be boxing the inside over the factory box.

Made the cab mounts following some other peoples builds on here. Took some measurements and tacked them all in. Weather says rain tomorrow so I’ll place the cab on Wednesday, check for front wheel alignment in the fender, and then burn it all in once I’m happy. I did pull the coil springs out and blocked the front control arms so they are about where they will be when all the weight is on them.

Here are some pics. Sorry again, I don’t know how to get them to all face the right way.
