Project crew cab conversion

Thanks man, I boxed it in for strength and torsional rigidity, with a little over 500h.p. on tap I want to limit frame twist as much as possible.

I wish my frame was boxed in.

Me too! It's on 'The List'!

Engine and trans painted and close to being ready to put in.

Well the frame is all finished and painted, fully boxed from one end to the other.

That looks great! My zr2 is factory boxed and I can tell a difference in it vs a regular blazer without a boxed frame. I'd imagine yours feeling even more solid driving. Even More Structurally Sound.

Yeah it makes a big difference, with 2 jack stands on one or the other end, and only 1 on the other end on the side, the frame barely flexes at all, before it dropped around 8 inches. Thanks also!

I wish I had the skills to do this. Just about anyone can bolt on a lift, this takes real skill and ability to properly bag and body.

I know what you mean about jack stands too. I put mine on a 2 post lift today and there was no movement. My old stepside would twist quite a bit on the 2 post. I feel like boxing is a must for any project when are already that far in.

Thank you, and yeah there is a lot of flex in the c channel frame, I hope to put the cab on in a few day's, I already have the engine and trans in, just waiting on some conversion cooler fittings for my 4L80E to come in from Bowler transmission.

Such attention to detail, that frame looks like it came that way from the factory. Awesome job!

I also spotted another cc in two of those pictures
