Frame ideas, hit a snag
I planned on using an "overlap" on my frame to put steps in it (Z), and shortening up the wheelbase by 12" (that is two 6" overlaps, one front one back). I got around to measuring more closely tonight and if I do that I won't have enough room in the "gully" of the frame where the cab sits. I would end up about two inches short on space for the cab. I already have to cut that up enough I don't want to have to cut a hole in the back for the frame to stick in to the passenger compartment there as well. I have two frames, and I think what I am going to do is use the rear "clip" off the second frame I have and leave it longer than what I cut off the other frame to add the length I need. This is what I have in mind.
6" z in the front, and place a piece of 6" box in between the two frames in the back to give me 12" in the rear. I got more thinking to do before I cut anything, but I still have a lot of stripping to do on the frames so I have time.
Thanks,
