forget stacked frames. Im making a frame out of 100% weld.

[rdn2blazer]

How cool and strong would that be?? i will just start with one piece of 1/4" thick X 1" wide X 2" long piece of steel and build an entire frame from weld. It will be the strongest frame in the world. I KNOW it will be the coolest truck out there, no really.

 

[muddermilitia]

you do that, and when you're done 2 years from now tell us how it worked out

 

[blazin_blazer]

why not just use railroad track rail..hahaha

Then you could use those wooden ties as crossmembers

 

[blazin_blazer]

they dont call them crossties for nut'n...hehehehe

Why not just box the existing frame?

Better yet start with a frame and fill the C channel with weld. That would be uber strong

We could combine your idea of 3 or four stacked frames PLUS fill ALL the frames up with weld, THAT would be uber strong.

Hey man i can get some railroad track and ties seeing as how i do that for a living also

If it can hold a train it can hold my heavy beast of a truck and you should see the size of the bolts that hold the tracks together

 

[blazin_blazer]

yep, 2 tracks...4 crossties ,for cab mounts...

hey, i was told i could use a shop...and tools...
wonder if i can box my frame w/ sum of this ''donated'' material,whilst i, work on this ''2 framed idea'' truck...
i'm going to see how deep pocketed his boss is, i mean heck, i need sum tubing and stuff...channel to raise mounts w/o addin as much weight...i'm in charge of truck...i doin my way, but i need some stuff :-) i already know where to get new wire for mig....they have it stacked up...ima see how far i can push it...

Why nut get a 3/8 nut and weld it untill you have a 4inch lift block to put under your front end. That way it will go with your other frame fliped up side down for the shackle flip.

just plate the back of it and pour it full of concrete.... slide in some rerod for support

 

[blazin_blazer]

i've seen this done

Make sure you take lots and lots of pictures of your weld frame bild.

Hell make the frame out of a bunch of leaf springs, talk about frame flex.

Hmm, an articulating, impact absorbing frame! Wonder what kinda damping you could use though? Maybe shocks at the body mounts?
