It beefed some more already I'll post pics once I finish the rear cross member.
I beefed up the hump in the trans crossmember by adding another inner backbone brace and added more material to the side gussets so that they connect.
Next, I started on the rear crossmember. I ran a sleeve through both brackets, the driverside is 1.5" dom and will be used to route all rear wiring and keep it out of harms way. The passengerside is 1 3/4 hrew and will be used for fuel system and brake line running.
Tomorrow I am gonna work on my skid and connecting it to the two crossmembers. Hopefully I will bedone with this forsaken doubler gayness.

That front crossmember turned out pretty good.
Doubler skid is almost complete. The front of the two runners that run parallel to the frame attach to the front side of the trans crossmember.
did you ever consider grinding the dirt and paint off the frame before welding to it?:flipoff2:
I wire brushed it and hit it with sandpaper. I didn't do any area that was not being welded to because alto/spring creek mud is gross. Besides that what the hottest setting on the welder is made for right?
:flipoff2:
Apparently radiusing corners is against his religion as well :flipoff2:
Worked all weekend long. The doubler skid is done and painted, I made a chevy 52/waggy 54" hybrid rear spring pack, I also
got the rear 60 and new spring perches ready to go. I finally got this hoe on some tires. I need to redo the rear spring hangers to get some more uptravel with the longer waggy springs. Also, it currently sits about 2" taller with the 42''s at wheeling psi than it was on the 35's.
Anyone know if chey hydro clutch systems use a plasctic spacer on the mounting surface for the slave cylinder that is attached to the bellhousing?
Do i spot some gangster lean?
Nice shackle angle!
But like you said your pushing the rear shackle hangers back.
why is the radiator not where it's supposed to be?:flipoff2:
remind me to stay away from this "Klogger waiting to happen" in Clayton:flipoff2:
