Welding the inner frame plate for the ifs steering box, also you can see the steering kit from ecgs. The high steer arms also came from ecgs. Very nice stuff for the money!

This is the passenger side frame plate. Both sides were plated inside and out.
 
still working on this, progress has been pretty slow, between myself taking a new job in highpoint, and brads garage boomin busy it has been slow go.

Still left to do i plumb all the steering lines, brake lines, drive shafts, and shorten rear wheelbase. Going to do a tube bed now, with some exo tubing.

atlas case is in, and i had to cut a pretty large hole in the drivers tunnel to clear it after the body lift was taken out. This is the start of the removable pan that i made

Here is the pan finished and bolted in. I used 1/4 inch nutserts to hold the pan in. I wanted to keep it removable because it is nearly impossible to remove the atlas without going from the top

also note the channel cut into the pan, that was so the oem seat slider would still work. I modded the seat bracket to still bolt up just like factory too. This truck will be keeping the carpet so i wanted to do it as clean as possible.

thanks ben, i shoulda been done a long time ago, had a chick to breeze through during the build, so that was a lil hold up as well! Oh and if it was quality i woulda been done already! This thin flimsy ass frame needed a ton of plate put on to make it worth a damn! lol:flipoff2:
 
it finally saw day light sunday, almost have it all tied up, going to build a front bumper and sliders this weekend, and hopefully next week start on dovetailing and bobbing the bed.
 
look for updates soon.....with my work schedule and some changes at the shop where it was, its going to be finished by rides.

I cant wait to see it done!
