I just started my 35 project, and thought I would get some input from all of you. It is getting a 5 1/2" chop and about a 4" channel. I am using the original frame rails from he firewall up. It was a big truck so I cut a pie shape out of the rails to make them 4" to match the tube and give them some shape. I am using a 32 ford crossmember and 2x4 for the rest of ch***is. Let me know what u think and if I am effing something up along the way.
looks good! 5in chop wow i did a 3in chop and 7in channel(way to much channel hard to get into truck)
If you anywhere over 5'5" it is going to be a ***** to get into! i took the same out of my 37 and at 6'4" i can no longer fit in it!
looks wild chopped.Don`t know if i can fit in it tho.What is the plan for the rest of the truck?Motor,trans, rear end.and most of all what grill??
good luck gettin git back together if you didn't brace the cab before cutting it up. also good luck with the doors if they werent working and gapped well before starting. Not trying to be a downer, but these are known techniques that help make the job easier. to getthe front posts to line up you either need to stretch the roof or lean the pillars. which one are you going to do? are yoiu asking for our input on which way to proceed?
The chop is perfect, and using the front of the origonal frame is a great choice, keep up the fabbin and the pics.
