    Are you going to utilize the holes that you just drilled to install the pusher axle or will you have to drill new ones?

    Another question, I can see where the two frames are met together and welded. Why does it dip some on top of the rails? Is it because the 83 frame might be slightly different then the 2010 frame you got?

    Just watched your recent video today. Wish I could of lended you a hand to install the inserts! It did not look like fun trying to handle that with grease on them! LOL

    The truck is looking better everyday!

    How come you butted the frame together instead of a “Z” joint?
