brianrupnow, thank you for the help, I appreciate it lots. Yeah it's a u frame of course so I wan't to box it in even if I won't have too much power in it. For now it will be my every day driver truck but later I plan to not drive it as much when I can afford another truck and just use this one to take to hot rod shows and meets and all. Thanks for reminding me about the 2 inch thing and moving, I already knew that but forgot about it. When you said make sure your welder will weld up to 1/8 inch thick I got scared there for a second but remembered that my Miller welder will. I will have to to use the saw to cut out the metal (I will use a ton of blades I am sure) because I don't have an oxy or plasma. My dad almost bought me a Oxy welder a few months back but I told him not to yet but I guess it's time I get one, either that or start saving for a plasma. If I am going to be putting on a new front end as well then should I wait until I get the front end on there because won't that change a lot or no?
Thanks again.
