That’s so cool

Wow this brings back memories....

How many inches are you adding? We added 9 to Yoda and it really changed the turning radius; however, drives like a dream on the highway....

Stock 79-series wheelbase so 13".

Wow.... did not expect that! Plan to do 5 point turns on Black Bear Pass then.

I have some 80 series frame sections if you need to harvest some.

It will be just like driving a factory built 79 then... turning circle of an oil tanker!

Very nice approach on the frame extension

Not sure why that was so unexpected. Did you think we were going to make it shorter and chop the bed or something like that? Not too concerned with having a tight turning radius.

We were trying to get our inner rail tacked in before going home but an hour after we normally close and it still was not lining up perfectly. So we decided to call it quits today and start fresh with layout tomorrow. Only the rear is tacked on the inner rail.

Right, John is going for a really mild build here. 33” tires and overall a very stock looking 79. Pretty similar to what @sr5pickup has built as far as looks, lift, ect.

Also, in case you are wondering about the funky cut being offset inner to outer rail, we are offsetting these on purpose. The point being, more strength with the welds being offset inner to outer rails.

Grandpa John won’t hurt it but please make it strong for the one time he lets me drive it

Be surprised if you flog it as hard as we do testing a build before release to the customer. But by all means, get some!

Lots of ways to offset wheelbase when you are putting a different body on a frame, especially with a lift etc. You’re fixing it all front to back and adding body mounts, doesn’t mean you have to chop anything. I can appreciate stock dimensions too though
