Re: 76 Stepside Resto

Got a few things done today. I decided the C-Notch that was cut from the frame did not make me feel comfortable. With Porterbuilts Notch installed its major BEEF. But when it's not on there is not much frame left in that area. And I need to transport the frame to and from the Blasting shop where they will be moving the frame around and flipping it over.

So, I took some 2"x3/16" flat stock and bent it to the shape of the notch then welded it in. Yes, I know, the welds look like crap. But I had to run multiple Tack welds instead of continuous to prevent warping. I was planning on grinding the bottom anyway.

Also decided to fix my problem of not enough frame on the bottom to bolt the Notch plates and rear crossmember on. I had to cut a section out completely where the frame originally curved down. Then took the same 3/16" plate and welded that in. I set the notch plates on and it fits perfect!
