That thing scares me. I hope all of you have sense enough not to go that route when doin suspension work. He used Sch 80 pipe. Pipe is for your toilet. The idea was good but he had no idea what he was doing. Always use DOM tubing. I dont care how much you have to scrimp and save pennies. A little money is not worth someones life.

I agree that you probably wouldn't want to go hackin a perfectly good CC up to do it, but if I had an extra CC lying around that maybe had severe front end damage I'd do it. The super cab idea has run thru my mind several times lately as well. There are a few of those around locally that I could get for next to nothing. That'd mean stretching frame and all sorts of other minor issues that would do nothing more than delay my project even more.

That guy is getting screwed by ebay. He's listed it more than once, and they keep canceling it. Wish they'd quit that! I was just getting ready to bid on the darn thing! Was dreading the drive up there if I won it tho...
