Are you going to stay with the 40 springs or go with some heavier 45’s?

Nice job, coming along fastFrame is now 116 inch wheelbase. Still need to make fish plates and final weld.

Cool build!My plan all along has been a slightly stretched cab and a SWB style bed that's also stretched.

Don’t body shops have a tool that can straighten a twisted frame? Just a possible option if it does end up a little off.Jack, I know you know, just want to share what happened to me about 15 years ago. I extended a 40 frame exactly how you are doing it now. Cut in half and added 40 frame cuts, same wheelbase too! I used the same fish plates!!! I carefully welded everything up, going slow, side to side, not too much heat. Everything looked great until I started measuring for square, wheelbase,etc. It turned out to have a slight twist from front to rear. It bothered me so much, I ended up cutting it up!! Just a heads up to go slow and check measurements as you go! Super excited to watch your build!![]()
