Probably not man. I'm sorry. My die still has not come. The dimple dies came today, but not the tube die, and they come from the same place. Guy says tomorrow, so we will see.

Thats a cool way to look at it.

Welded the backhalf rails together. Just need to weld the stars in place.

any reason your running the upper bars farther foreward than the lowers instead of on the same plane vertically?

Because it is the best location to use on the crossmembers I am building. It will make more sense when I get there. But the upper bar is shorter than the lower bar from the side view still.

The owner came up this weekend, and while here he mentioned something about wanting to swap to 5 lug bolt pattern later on for a wider selection of wheels. So I mentioned that I happened to have a Toyota axle and front suspension in my shed. So now its a 5-lug truck.

And I made a crossmember to go behind the cab. Its 1/8" plate, dimpled 1" and 1.5" holes, with 1/4" top and bottom, internally and externally welded.
