Also traded my tallbike for a running 460 and C6 transmission.

Now you're talking. Might want to reinforce the frame a bit more. Wouldn't want that motor to turn it into a pretzel.

[bicycleguy]

I have 2 more crossmembers and a bunch more gussets I need to put in but I need the get the motor and tranny figured out first so I know where to put them. I'm a big fan of overbuilding things "when in doubt, build hella stout".

Kinda strange to turn the c channel out instead of the traditional in way. Is it galvanized?
You have a bunch of builds on your plate with the Buick , the station wagon' and now this truck.

I turned it that way because it's easier to weld in crossmembers and there is more surface are the weld on, when it all said and done the only part of the frame that you'll see is from the firewall forward and yes, it is galvanized. I traded the station wagon for the Buick which is now my daily driver so this truck is my only real project at the moment.

[Uncle Stretch]

I figured that was the reason to turn them that way. Was thinking man your having to
spend some serious time if you had three projects going at once.

[PowertribeCustoms]

That truck is going to be sweet

[Rat Rod]

Do you plan to box in the c channel?

[bicycleguy]

I'm gonna see how it goes without boxing it because it feels pretty stiff already but I'm guessing that'll change when I drop a 500hp big block in it. I'll probably end up boxing at least the front, maybe more.

[bicycleguy]

Got the rear end in and all together, now onto the front.
