Thank you Craig. Just trying to build the best truck I can! Quote:

I was able to machine up a new chassis cross member. Since deciding to revamp the drivetrain of my truck, I was in need of way to mount up the new transmission. I also needed a way to mount my cab, after lowering it for the new stance. This is what I came up with. I designed it to fit perfectly between the chassis frame rails. I still need to drill and tap some holes to secure it to the frame rails, but it's a press fit into place and I haven't yet decided it's finally resting place. I may slide it fore or aft, just as soon as I get some mounts made up for the transfer case next. Driveshaft length will determine the final position, but it will be hidden completely by the cab. And then the transmission and motor mount to the cross member, like so... View from the underside... And one from the side of the chassis. Once the fuel tanks are on, it will be almost impossible to see, except if the truck is upside down. The transfer case will find it's home just forward of the lift axle. That's all for now guys. Let me know what you think!

Nathan,
You never seize to make me feel absolutely stupid in some of my designs. Once again, you have raised the bar.
