    Once you ground off some of the welds, you could see where the original edge of the steel was and I cut the weld along that line with a cutting wheel (smoothed off the remaining welds with the grinder after). Surprised how little factory weld was there and it wasn’t that big a job. And I’m very...

    No. I lined it up myself and I found a real good welder. I got some really complete stock measurements and using those determined everything was square on the rear frame section. I used measurements for the rear cab mounts, the transmission mounts, and the rear frame tips to prove no diamond...

    Front clip and gray paint are new, cab and box original paint, truck drives like new, no rattles. Have put under 1000kms on it so far. Every time I park it anywhere, someone asks if I want to sell it. I’ve added mud flaps, hood deflector, put trim rings and caps back on it since this photo...

    Finally got the wheel alignment done, it was out on toe on but my fitting of the frame back together turned out great.

    Don’t know why it posted 2 pics. Those wheels are off my Tacoma, just rollers while I was painting the original rims. I didn’t take a picture yesterday with the box on.

    Replaced the front frame section, it’s almost all back together, just dropped the box on yesterday. Have had it running and a yard drive, only engine light on is the airbag, which I removed, will work on that. Replaced driver fender and hood with southern used, grill, bumper, rad support. New...

    I today followed your good advice, got the same book, US$35/40, including shipping. Should have it in a week.

    I'm still having no luck finding correct frame dimensions for my truck, does anyone have them stored away somewhere? I've got it all apart now, next stage is getting the frame dimensions so I can proceed from here. Thanks, Don

    I guess I can't edit my thread title, I should probably have started a new one?

    So I've found a southern front frame section for a 4X4 and looking for advice. This requires cab removal, then grind off the frame joint section welds. I'm wondering about sequence and steps and thinking: 1. Remove and replace engine and transmission as one unit. I've done this before on Chevy...
