51dueller- the vertical frame cut was a mistake. i should have done a diagonal cut.but it is plated on the inside, i will also be plating the edge and will be fishplating the outside. it was a big mistake and i dont want to take and chances with it breaking.
FirstTry- the search for the Dana 60 is coming along well, i have found a few but most guys want to much for them. i think i'm just goint to run my 44HD till it blows then frop down the cash for a good highpinion D60

FoMoKo- i owuld love to become a member of the sask/manit. chapter. how do i go about doing that?
preppypyro, 96sherm- thankyou for the compliments. i can only hope that when my truck is eventually finished that is will be as nice as some of the rigs i've seen around here.
you should check out some of teh BC 4x4 sites, I will find that actual address's for you, can't think of tehm off hand, some pretty reasonable prices on there, might be cheap enough to make it reasonable to buy in BC and have it shipped

We`re gettting together at the Draggins Car Show at Easter so keep an eye on this forum and we`ll have a meeting sometime in April.
To join read this sticky at the top of the Man/Sask chapter forum: https://www.ford-trucks.com/forums/5...-requests.html
There are some nice trucks here and some of our`s aren`t done so we drive our old beaters. All kinds here which is great, nice to see them all including orginal, the works in progress and the finished ones.
Boss, its not nice to call the diesel a beater, no matter what Laredo says
The diesels come under the heading of nice trucks, diffinately not beaters.
My old 53 M350 is a beater for now, my 57 F350 and 69 F100 are nice orginals and my 05 F350 Lariat is nice.
