Wanting to get into the sport and wanting his wrecked truck back on the road my boss, Leroy, decided to let our crew loose on it...We started out building a new front crossmember and moving the shackle mounts under the frame to accept the rear 52" leaf springs...the original fronts were 47"...then we built a new rear crossmember that acted as a home built shackle flip...this was done to accept the longer 2wd 56" leaf springs...then we had to swap the entire body over to the other frame to build 1 good truck out of the best of the parts...then we rebuilt the front axle and installed an Aussie locker along with several other brand new parts...also new 35x12.50 Pro Comp m/t's...this was all done in about 1 1/2 weeks to meet the challenge of making it on the January 17th snow run...here are the pics...

Dang Frank! You (and crew) have been truck building machines as of late. Where does the line start?

If I had the money I'd just drop my rig off at your house with a wad of cash and say call me when it's done. LOL
