Love it. I'm doing same on 83 k2500. I don't have a plasma cutter, what would you recomend? Die grinder maybe. Doesn't look like you need to remove slot of material
@@WayneAckroyd-n9l You don't have to take off a lot but the plasma cutter makes it so much easier. You will be there awhile with a grinder but it should work.
@@WayneAckroyd-n9l If you have access to a mini belt grinder like this amzn.to/40cg47p that might help. We have a much more expensive version of that tool and I love it. Might be worth the investment.
Man it seems like those frames should be built heavier than that! Wonder if anyone has ever stripped one down like this and cut 1/4" plate to weld into the channel from front to back lol. It would definitely cross my mind if I stripped one down that much
I don't think boxing the frame is necessary. They do flex a lot more than people think. The guys at OffRoad Design wheel these square body trucks pretty hard. There are a few weak points, but I have addressed them all.
Good to know. I'm building my 72 from the frame and I want to add these heavy duty shackle hangers. I'm planning on getting the 400 from blueprint as well. I happened to come across your videos by doin a search on the blueprint 400

It doesn't seem like offroad design makes this kit for 1972 and down.
I see they say 73-91 but I swear these are the same ones on my 70 chevy truck. I would call them and ask. They are really nice people.
