Same thickness (.250) as the rest of the frame... going to cut out the drivers side like I did on the passenger side. The cross member and the the most recent steel used to box the joint is only .187 wall.

Reproduction fenders.... bad idea!
My big mistake..... ordering reproduction fenders! These things just don't fit very well at all! The bad part was that when I received the fenders, I primered the back sides.... So no chance of returning! I have even tried modifying the fender for propper fit with no luck. Here is the worst area in the pic below...
Second waste of time was.... stripping the inner fenders down and repairing the rust under the battery trays, as I found some real nice inner fenders this weekend and bought them....
Misc pics fropm this last week...

BTW the truck is in Vacaville if you're ever up this way.

This last week I worked on the power steering mount. Thought about many different ways to skin this cat, but decided that I didn't want bolts sticking through the frame.... so here's the pics. Somehow I had taken more pics during fabrication of all this, but they didn't write to my card... Hmmmmm.
