Re: Used Parts Build

Ever wonder what runs a heated paint booth?

Kinda hard to see but it gets up to 145 degrees. I was hanging out in there because it was so damn cold (for California...lol)

Back to the truck....I wasnt happy with the gaps on my truck. I could get the fender gaps right but then the cab was off. Got the cab to match then the front wouldnt. So.....off with the mounts:

Smoothed the weld for more clearance but decided to section the frame anyway:

Where the mounts needed to be


Cut lines

Cut

Sectioned 1/2'' and put it back with the new mount holes.

I'll clean it up and weld it back in later. I needed 3/16 of an inch to clear so I gave myself 1/2''. The mounts needed 5/8'' so I went with 7/8'' so I could adjust more if I needed to but everything should fit much better now.
