Those of you following my project, I finally decided to keep it all GM. That means I actually made a decision There were a number of reasons for doing so. Mostly I needed to make a decision so that I can get my axles rebuilt. I will be going with 4.56's with a Eaton posi in the rear and have not decided on the front. Probably an Ox Locker. I also have two radiator core supports. The original 85 and a 91. Like the 85 better.

I hope you plan on plating the frame where you cut it and have someone who knows what they are doing weld it. Cause that weld dosent look very strong IMO

No disrespect, but I agree here. I have been welding for about 8 years, but when it comes to frame, I take it to a pro.
