80's short box, "S.E.R.E." Box permanently attached to the cab.

I hate to disappoint. One more day on the new product. It's a pretty simple small little deal but if you're doing some fabrication, it can really help out.
 
OK, here ya go.

I think it was Keith blazer that suggested these as a product some time ago. Maybe not, it's been a while.

Pseudo polys

Designed to substitute for the poly when you are doing some fabrication and using our fab sets. Contolling the bushing location via the bolt hole in the center doesn't work for welding with the poly in place so these will allow you to do that without destroying the poly. They also work for attaching tabs to some thing where you will be using a fab set later. They are .040" wider than the poly to give you some assembly tolerance.

As you see them here, i'm using them to set up the Wraptor on the truck. This frame being what it is, our crossmember fixture really didn't work so I built each piece on the truck and used the pseudo polys to control the individual pieces.
 
Sweet! I have a few times had to tack stuff in place that had bushings, then take it all apart to final weld, then reassemble to avoid melting the polys!

Yep, and it sucks to grease the polys to make them slide in respectably, now you got grease on things which doesn't help the welding at all. Gotta clean it up, tack it, pull it apart, clean it some more now, weld it and clean it again for paint. Let's hope the polys didn't get beat up when they were pulled apart.
 
I swear we talked about those at Daves meh doesn't matter those are great.

I bet you could find room for the air tank somewhere.

Also instead of solid tube do like 1.5 tube. Tigging those it would look so freaking cool.also it would give you holes to clean the undercarriage too:D
 
That's neat, it's a tool, not a part. I was totally expecting a very specific part that I probably wouldn't use, but this might actually be handy. Although I usually tack everything and then pull the bushings out to final weld. This would be more accurate because there would be zero deflection.
