I'm sure these would sell well. Maybe you could do a group buy?

**72k5zl1** · 03-10-2011, 10:50 PM

i am going to try to make a deal

**72k5zl1** · 03-11-2011, 09:35 PM

my friend chet helped me out today. roughed in frame jig. 6x6x3/4" angles, heavy. 34" outside to outside. hopefully tomorrow can cut and raise the rear section up 3".

if i can make a deal with the guy that does them, i will need a lot of cores to cut down, he reuses the metal frame work inside the wheel. or it there is alot of interest. i will look for a vender. i may try cutting down a 69-72 later.

CheyenneShop · 03-11-2011, 10:46 PM

sounds good - I just bought the old style wood - 15", but haven't intalled it yet - so this might be another cool choice. Depends on price of course. Thanks

hgs_notes · 03-12-2011, 10:17 AM

Chet is a funny name for a girl dog

Nice frame jig, simple but effective.

**67cheby** · 03-12-2011, 10:24 AM

i have a nice core, you need another one

**72k5zl1** · 03-12-2011, 02:20 PM

lunch break! raised the rear of my frame 3". kinda unconventional way of doing it, but should look clean.

**72k5zl1** · 03-12-2011, 02:22 PM

headed back to the basement!

JasonBird · 03-12-2011, 02:31 PM

sure is a nice big shop!

**67cheby** · 03-12-2011, 02:34 PM

WOW...way to think "outside the box" that looks killer

**FRENCHBLUE72** · 03-12-2011, 03:25 PM

How much did the shorten the frame? Or did it?

hgs_notes · 03-12-2011, 05:54 PM

Interesting.

**72k5zl1** · 03-12-2011, 06:53 PM

got her roughed in. it shortened it up 1 1/4" but that is not a big deal because it is a lwb frame and i can make it up under the cab when i shortin up the wb.

STOCKISH · 03-12-2011, 06:56 PM

That turned out great buddy!

VA72C10 · 03-12-2011, 07:03 PM

Nice job, after paint no one will know it was there....they'll just scratch their head trying to figure out what year frame it is

Do you need to or plan to gusset that area?

**72k5zl1** · 03-12-2011, 07:14 PM

thanks! going to flip it on its side and tig the inside. i have some plans to strengthen it up later. going to try to put the coil buckets in tomorrow.

**FRENCHBLUE72** · 03-12-2011, 07:40 PM

I see very stealthy way to raise the frame I like it..

mooseknuckles · 03-12-2011, 08:13 PM

that's bad ass!

HulkSmash · 03-13-2011, 07:35 PM

That is the coolest frame "Z" I have ever seen.. Very good idea.

Pop's C-10 · 03-13-2011, 08:30 PM

Talk about a new way to skin a cat...That is trick..

**67cheby** · 03-14-2011, 10:33 AM
