Projects I need some opinions on my chassis

Whats up guys. First, I know a 1970 C-10 isn't you typical topic on this board... but I respect a HAMBers advice more than any other. I've been slowly working on it since I was 16 (now 25) and have done every bit on my own teaching myself along the way. I just want to get a thumbs up on the chassis before I paint it. The back half is 2x4 mild steel, the hoop faces, back half gussets and trans crossmember mounts are 1/4". The frame is boxed about 3-4" past the trans crossmember. I had to replace the string on my plumb bobs more than once, trust me, it's as straight as an arrow. I'm not throwing a ton of power at it, but I dont want to stress if one day I do. I plan on driving it as often as possible. Let me know what you think!

 

Its not bad work but I dont trust the way you did the kick up think of the thing as a lever you are putting all of the force were the rear coilovers sit and it will want to twist at the point that the kick up is welded to the frame the way I have allways done it was the kick up was mounted on top of the stock part of the frame and I made heavy gussets to reinforce it I'm not saying it will fail but it looks to be a weak point in the desine

 

Is this thing setup for a tub job?

 

Looks well braced, hard to tell from photos, but should be O.K. if you got good penetration on all welds.
Check this site, this is like the H.A.M.B. for square body Chevy trucks. I'm Richard D there as well.

I THINK this is a forum for TRADITIONAL rods and customs.

 

I will say this I have seen way way worse out of some of the local minitruckers out here. If you trust your welds I say go for it. It should hold a good mild (under 400 hp) engine just fine (just got a better look at some of the pics)

 

I THINK the guy is just asking for guidance from a community that he respects sometimes its really hard for a young guy to get his hands on and afford old tin these days.

 

Yeah, its a tub job. I put some pretty heavy gussets on either side of the "kick ups", i was a little worried at first too.

 

I know. I'm not trying to clutter the board with nonsense, I just want some educated opinions from real fabricators, not some mail order mini-truckers. You know what I mean?
