I love that bender!!! I build a lot of bumpers for the dirt track racers around here. Fabricating is good therapy. I hope I can fit that chunk in there perfectly. Very Happy

They really seem to think that if you have a truck like that then you must know what you are doing. Shocked

New floor pans are installed.

I left the body off after I finished welding the floor in. Tomorrow I may start to tackle the dreaded Frame Head Shocked

Post subject: Re: MOCRAWLER'S 68' Baja project Posted: Sun Mar 23, 2008 08:02 AM

good progress
the frame looks like it could get ugly

Post subject: Re: MOCRAWLER'S 68' Baja project Posted: Wed Mar 26, 2008 12:02 AM

that looks awsome. What are you going to do for a front end?

Post subject: Re: MOCRAWLER'S 68' Baja project Posted: Thu Mar 27, 2008 03:39 AM

I am going with a 6" wider beam, Disc brakes Bilstein shocks and I don't know what else Very Happy

I cut the frame head off last night. It was ugly inside.

It was cracked REALLY !! bad.

I then smoothed out the remaining area and just for a test fit I put in a small piece of tunnel steak.

My assistants Very Happy

I am planning on welding here...

And here of course..

I held the new frame head in place just to get a look at what I need to do next.

Any suggestions?

Post subject: Re: MOCRAWLER'S 68' Baja project Posted: Sun Mar 30, 2008 05:31 AM

I got the frame head mounted today !!!!
Here are a few more progress pics.
I started by drilling some holes in the tunnel to use as plug weld locations

Then it was time to start attaching the frame head.

Just for fun I mounted the new beam... I like it.

I finished welding the gussets on the front spindles. I am going to paint the pan and beam. Then start assembling the front end. Very Happy

Thanks go to Leatherneck for selling me the spindles and arms!!

My pleasure, great work, how did the welding go on the Kingpin? Any binds? Don't expect especially with your level of work.
