Brendan- Great post.
It is hard to have the same excitement for FTE when the higher ups seem to be walking on us.
Yes this is the best ford tech forum on the web.
Yes the people here are very genuine and more helpful then most other sites.
Yes WE are like a family and FTE should recognize that.
What other forums can you find TWO outside websites dedicated to the 7.3L because of a forum???
Powerstroke Mods and Maintenance
For what its worth: FTE is full of such great people that we have joined together to PROMISE help throughout the USA to our friends.
Roadside Help Network - 7.3 RHN Home
Not to mention a man that is willing to call himself FTE parts guy

A website of this caliber should be a democracy... All these things exist because of who WE are.

I was thinkin about a step bit, but didnt know if they would put a dent in that frame...

Damn you, I know have that song stuck in my head now. YouTube - funk soul brother-fatboy slim here it is so the rest of you can feel my pain. lol.
Well, I'm off to work. It was supposed to be icy this morning but doesn't look like it on my front porch. I guess i will see when I hit the road. Can't wait to see what else will be new when I log back on this evening.

Tristan, I did mine on saturday and used an Irwin Turbomax bit and it cut thru the frame real nice and easy. I think that Lowes sells the Irwin brand.

Okay good. I'd go with 2x6 for that height though, as otherwise it will be very wavy/flexy. The Timberstrand (LSL) I mentioned earlier will be out of the range then. Just go with 2x6, 24'' oc (on center) single bottom plate, and double top. Is this outdoors?? you could go with exterior grade plywood in 1/2'' or maybe 3/4 if money allows, paint it and be good for awhile. Sorry if I missed it, but is this inside or outside? how long will it be needed? seasonal? take it down when done? sorry I have more questions for you and would like to steer you correctly lil bro!
