Fusing with fire
Here's a pic of the frame as it came to me on the 53, GMC 5 window.
I think this is a old front section and crossmember on the rear. Its even notched for an oil pan....not to mention its below the bed side and running down hill like a mother..
Now the new rear frame section.
This is after cutting all the BS off but before i cut the ends off the C notch. (Remember i moved the frame up almost 5 inches so it hides inside the bed.)
Grinding off all the old proud welds and fully plating all the joints.
Huh, i thought i got a shot of all the gussets ground smooth and rounded over but i guess not...
Any ways now its starting to look like a frame that wont kill the customer....
Its amazing what folks will buy and pay for thinking "its a good deal..." well how good is that deal after i spend 2 weeks un ******* it????
Here's a shot of a test fit with the new frame section hiding up inside the bed.
