[68 TT]

I got a few minutes to work on the frame modifications today. Got the cab & bed back off the K10 frame and set them out of the way. I then measured how much I would need to stretch the under cab area of the frame to make the cab sit the 1-3/4" lower it needs to line up with the bed. Turns out 9" would do it so I marked up the frame to take out 10" for a little wiggle room.

I also marked up the frame rails under the bed to see if there was room to cut it down by 4" to correct the wheel base, the 10" to align the cab properly and the 12" it would need removed to make it a short bed. It is a little tight but it can work.

I cut the 4" section out to correct the wheel base then cut the 10" section out from under the bed and moved it to the area under the cab to relocate the sloped transition area of the frame rearward to clear the cab.

I got it all aligned and tacked together with my flux core MIG but ran out of time to do the joint bevel work and finish welding with the TIG.

I should be able to get the TIG work done tomorrow or Monday with a little luck. I would love to get the bed & cab set back in place so I can start fabricating the custom cab mount stands.
