So I was able to get a few things taken care of here lately. The cargo rocker is finally welded in. Just have to finish grinding a few welds and then its done. Still have to take care of the floor, but I am going to wait till I am able to see the whole floor again.

Going to do some suspension mods in the back, so the stock shock towers have to go.(Still have to remove one side, these things are a pain.)

Started getting things ready for the new beam. Cut out the center pin, and torsion holders. Now I have to clean up the control arms, center pin, and spindles. Mano is going to be working on some new side plates here soon, so I can get the beam going.

Mano came over yesterday and we were able to get the steering box raise done for the most part. I still have to fab up a new cover for it now. This one went up 3" :shock: Mano also welded in a new clutch pivot since the old one was rusted in the down position. Now it works great. Thanks again Mano for all the help with this in the heat :beer:

Frame cut out

Had to clearance the floor a little to make room for the raised frame section

Mano taking a little off the edges to compensate for the flat bar
Image

Tacked in
Image

Getting welded in
Image
Image

Finished up for the most part. I may have to take off more to allow the pitman arm to clear, but I need to get the beam in first to see what needs to be done.
