Yep- grabbed them from the basement last night. I’m trying to get the frame to body support in today. I’ll probably do a couple Clecos to that to hold things. I’m addicted to these stupid magnets I got years ago. I don’t know what they are but the strength is unbelievable. They always help out when I get to the finer cuts for all the butt welds I’m going to have in here. Only negative is forgetting they’re there and welding anywhere near them!

I may drop the rear end today and slide it out for more room. That fuel tank top brace/mount really wraps into that axle hump.

On a side note regarding the rear end… I can’t decide if it’s worth tearing into that to rebuild while it’s out or just dropping the extra $$$ to slide something new in. It’s the original open 10 bolt 8.2 w/3.55’s. I already have new Dutchman axles and new pressed on bearings but could easily cut my losses I think.
