Sorry for re-posting these pics. I kinda got hung up in the suspension sub-forum and posted these there when they should be here in my build thread. As you can see from first pic or two I cleaned off the top of my original frame and the bottom of the donor section of frame. Bought it off of Craigs for $50. I wish it was about 6 inches longer towards the cab, but it was much easier than driving 80 miles, loading my donor truck, bringing it home, cutting it apart, etc.
So without further ado;
I sat the donor on top of my frame and spent hours leveling, tacking, head scratching, until I was sure it was right where it needed to be for my plan to work. I dropped the crossmember out and cut only what I had to (for the moment) in order to raise it up 6" and bolt it in place. Sounds way easier than it was.
