I did this job about 30 years ago on my 1979 KW xhood. I went from 235 wb alum frame to 252 wb steel. (I thought 252 was a big car in those days!) I also slid them 1 at a time out the back. We put them flanges down and squared across to get the holes right and then slid at the proper place for the longer wheelbase. I had good help and we only had to ream 2 holes on the whole project. I'll never do it again but I'm sure enjoying your video!
Can’t wait to see the finished product.
I commend you guys for your work ethic . This job is so labor intensive I hope you can make money doing it .
Frame rail certified!! Just need the certification..LMFAO..cool vid peeps!!
Hope yall had a great weekend
one heck of a lot of work for a mere 20 inches extra wheelbase on a old truck. As talented as you are I'd trusted you to stretch the old frame & it would been perfect. One have even put the extra 20 inches under the sleeper if one was wanting to hid the welds. I had a friend do that to a 389 he bought that was wrecked & they did it before putting the cab & sleeper back on the frame. The cost of labor for what you are doing would blow my mind on a project like this. Somebody has money to burn, But for sure it will be done & be as good as factory with you doing it.
Customer didn't want it cut & stretched. Customer wanted new frame welds is the reason they're doin it this way. Have 2 watch other vids & Mr Berry & Ms Berry explained the process.
I watched the other videos, I was just stating this is one heck of a lot of work for 20 inches of wb. The face of going to a 305 in. wb. pretty much explains all I need to know about the owner. Glad it's him driving that long of truck & not me. Different strokes for different folks.@@scottycollins1829
what are you doing with the old frame rails ?
that's all hard work. work smart not hard! been while since I watched I belive last time you were trying to sell off some equipment or maybe downsize??
Hey , what size is y'all shop ?
I like to work with him u have to know what he's wants to do with out him telling u like with the board
It looks like this frame will have bolt heads exposed rather than countersinking and welding up the heads to hide them?
Depending on how customer wants them
