Really?  You're against manual transmissions?

Nope..  Only one auto trans on our fleet.  But for this application I'd want auto.... but that's me.

And this is your build  waytogo

I'm also grabbing a crate rear end.  Looking like a 9" with a Detroit Tru-trac diff.  4:11 gears with the T56 trans should put me at 80mph around 2000 rpm in 6th gear.  I can make that work.  The 9" should hold all the power I can throw at it. Proabably U joints would be the weak link.


1350 u-joints will take everything you'll throw at them. The aftermarket makes some very stout units, spec a 1350 yoke when you order up the axle.

Getting ready to cut 5-1/2 inches out of this frame so I can put a short bed on a long bed frame.

Kind of one and a half times. I'm pretty sure I got it right. And, since nothing I do yet really makes a difference in the long run this isn't that big of a deal. If the mounting holes are off for the bed I'll just redrill them.

The entire rear suspension is going away anyway so I don't even have to keep things square for that although I will obviously.

Some pie cuts to allow me to adjust the angle of the frame since the front part of the frame is narrower.

I'm going to tack it together with a Miller synchro Wave 180 TIG. Final welding will be a 250 amp Lincoln MIG welder I picked up at an auction. I'm also going to plate the outside and fit a 6x2 channel on the inside of the frame rails as far as I can go in each direction over the seam.

I'm also going to box the frame and I'll tie that into the 6x2 channel.

I'm not a fabrication scientist for a living but I think that might be enough.
