well early night tonight but the rear piece that is narrower than the rest is all welded in and the drivers side is up to the 4wd hole

i was using a 110v welder tonight and it made life much easier on that thin steel

should have it done if i get to work on it tomorrow

Your coming along pretty good on it. Can't wait to see it finished. That would be something I would like to help with,but just a tad far to drive for a weekend of fun.

Wow Jim what a project you have going on here. Never could figure why some one would want to slam a perfectly good truck? But I got to say I really can't wait to see the finished product. You are doing an amazing job. Keep it up Jim.
