Pic#22 Rolled the Mopar under & eyeballed everything. It looks like that crossmember will have to go. 53-56 F-100s has a different style crossmember that only needs a small notch. Pic#23 Looking for something to brace the rails with. Dont want them to spread or twist when we cut that crossmember out. Pic#24 Desided the best way to hold it is to bolt the bumper on tight. Pic#25 Layed the posterboard on the rails & marked them. Everything below the cardboard will be cut out. Pic#26 The crossmember is gone. When we weld the crossmember in it will be the new crossmember. Pic#27 Two late to turn back now! Cut the frame where we marked around the posterboard. Pic#28-29 Unbolt the steering box & move it to one side & unbolt the upper A-arms & move them to the side. Bring the truck frame & the sub-frame together for a check fit. Pic#30 Lots of fine tune triming to do. Spent more than 2 hours getting the best fit possable. --------------------------------------------------------------------- [Image] [Image] [Image] [Image] [Image] [Image] [Image] [Image] [Image] [Image]
