Nice work on your new frame. Sorry to see about the trans. Could you find a decent used 4L60E to keep you going for now?

Well this weekend was a ton of work. Started by getting the cab off the bagged frame. was a bit sketchy because we had to do it in the dirt but it was surprisingly sturdy.

The Cherry picker sank into the dirt when the cab was lifted which actually made it vary sturdy and easy to roll the new frame under it. Name: IMG_2837.jpg

With the cab on we set the front clip on just to see how it was gonna look. Pretty happy with it.

My brother is 6'2" so you can compare how tall the truck is to him.

Im thinking this will come down slightly when the motor is dropped in and when the rear is raised to match the front. But for now on 29" tires the fender opening sits at 42-1/8".
