What do you plan on doing with the frame over hang?

Looked like you cut it further up the bed and wouldn't sit flush with the rear hangers... Looks are deceiving my friend.
I have to weld the bed back together yet,

I cut some more stuff today.
I also did a little welding.
Have to go to the bar now though.

Marking out a cut.
Doesn't look like much.
I ended up cutting almost 2" more off the front part of the box.
Some really ugly welding.
Need to finish welding tomorrow.

Nice straight cut!
What did you use?

Thanks.
A Dewalt cordless sawzall. Which I think may have bit the bullet. I'll see if it works tomorrow.
Oh, and the cuts are not that straight. The camera is pretty forgiving.

Don't forget I have that headlight bezel for that thing. It's the little things!!
I'm pretty suprized you welded that without blowing big holes through that thin tin down at the bottom.
And I don't usually like the looks of bobbed beds, but it think the proportions of what you did turned out cool!

I know. Even more importantly, a sliding rear window. I need to round up the parts you need from me, and deliver them down to you.
That's why the welds are so ugly, have to keep tacking, instead of burning it in. I am no welder.
Thanks.

Looks good. Did you get that 60?
Thanks.
Yeah, I got it. Just waiting for a guy to turn down my Dodge DRW hubs.

Welding on rusted chebbies isn't Welding, I find it takes a certain art to make it work

Do love the crusty truck!
Far from finished, but enough so that I could drive to town for some hardware.

Very nice.
My driveshaft took a bit of a beating at Tuttle Creek, so I bought this when Ruff Stuff had their 4th of July sale.
Even sprayed a little paint at it!

I think this is a smart upgrade. And they are pretty cheap too.
