I've decided to go a new route with my project. I've decided to go ahead and sell the rolling chassis out from under it. The frame came from a very straight 2 owner truck that had never been wrecked. We put a huge notch in the rear and added gusset/style plates to it. All the tube work is 1.5 tubing. 95% of the frame is boxed in (with the exception from behind the notch back. Almost all holes have been smoothed and filled in. All of the rivets holding the body mounts have been ground smooth and the mounts TIG welded on. The frame rails have been ground back and added to on the tops and bottoms to make them perfectly straight before boxing it so that the boxing plates run perfectly straight and aren't wavy. It doesn't have any drivetrian (engine or transmission) mounts, there are no shock mounts (there are large shock hoops in the front). There are also no front bed mounts. The frame rails have not been cut or Z'd, instead the crossmember has been sectioned and moved foreward to put the wheel in the correct place in the wheel well. The crossmember has been completely welded in. It comes with the rack and pinion (bumpsteer needs to be minimized by moving the tie rod location or machining a spacer and running a heim joint). If the bumpsteer issue scares you away I am willing to correct it considering I get the full asking price. It comes with (4) brand new Slam Specialties RE7 airbags, brand new Air Ride Technologies upper and lower Strong Arms and Belltech drop spindles. It also comes with the stock 12 bolt rearend with finned aluminum cover and chrome adjustable link bars.
This frame will easily lay out on 22's all the way around and probably even 24's with a small tire. The centerlines on it are 20's but have a huge tire (29.8 inches tall according to tire specs). The photo of the truck has a machined down piece of rubber instead of a stock mount to lay on the pinch weld. All you would have to do is modify the bed mounts to make the whole truck sit like that.
I'm asking $4200 with the wheels, $3500 without wheels and tires. ROLLING CHASSIS ONLY, no drivetrain or body!
