Southwest 88 cab plus, baggin n' bodied

Looks like you are off to a good start. My truck sat untouched for 6 years and this site is good motivation seeing what everyone else is doing on their trucks.

started my notch, i was planning on back halfin at first but changed my mind when considering my lack of shop/ level driveway slab, so i went with the smaller triangle step.







Notice anticipation got the better of me and i welded the inside before realizing haha

Got the frame cut out, excess trimmed and most of the metal finishing out of the way. also "shaved" all the unsightly holes in the frame.







Had to get one action pic in there ha

after i was satisfied with the metal finish i started caping the frame off at the end.

forgot to get pics of the cut and little fillers but it worked out nice


Threw a quick coat of rattle can on there to prevent rust

Started mapping out the x member for my links, went extra close to the cab and centered the driveshaft.

Plasma cutter and the grinder made for a sweet fishmouth


All tacked up

Driveshaft came out just how i wanted!





Frame is startin to come together
