Got the frame off the trailer and set up on blocks so I could cut off all the non-sense parts (i.e. EVERYTHING BUT THE MOTOR MOUNTS AND CAB MOUNTS)
New Frame (2wd 94 model x-cab)
clean and pretty straight(I have to fix the pass side frame horn)
After 30 min(I learned that cinder blocks don't make good jack stands)
About another hour and I should have all the crap off of it. I hope I can get around to it tomorrow.

I am getting ready to dump out some BIG $$$ for my suspension ends, I am hoping to start fabbing up my links and mounts next week
I finished cutting off all the non-sense items, here is the pile of scrap metal I have now...
I know "The pics look the same" but they aren't. Look closely, now all I got to do is break out the grinder I hate grinding
Next up: time for the grinder and start measuring!
Thanks for looking and subscribing...I hope I don't disappoint

I know what you mean about those damn cinderblocks man. Had a car collapse one time when my dad was under it. He didn't get hurt, but it scared the crap out of him (not sure if that is a literal statement or not). Good luck

Alright, here we are again. I am back after a weekend out of town. I purchased parts to build the upper half of my rear suspension last Thursday(I am hoping for them to arrive tomorrow or Tuesday). I also did some measuring, I found out that the coil spring pads are in a perfect position for my frame!
Tonight I moved away from the frame and onto the rear axle(I'm going to try to do all the grinding at one time).
I broke out the torch and started with the driverside upper link bracket. I won't be needing either upper link bracket on my rear suspension. I will have 1 tower in the center of the axle.
Before
After
I am going to have to pull the 3rd to finish cutting and cleaning here
After I finished cutting the upper link brackets off, I had my way with the shock mounts. The factory location is WAY to low for me...I would have destroyed shock after shock if I would have left them in this position.
Before
Final product(at least until I pull the 3rd)
