I need to finish boxing the back of frame in and I need to notch it for axle clearance . I tend to bounce around to different parts of the truck. If I need a part I don't have and can't afford I will do something else that I have material for. been camping for the forth . So I have done nothing in the last 5 days.

I think the same goes for most of us Icebox.(Except the camping part). Everything that I have done in the last 2 weeks has been cost free. Just my time. So I have been jumping around as well.
Keep at it.

Here are some more pics of what I have got done. some are old like the frame but i never posted any pics of what I done to it.







I welded the frame with the stick welder so i could get some better penetration .

Great looking welds Icebox.
The front frame horns look like they grew that way!
Glad to hear that your neck is doing well.

I would like to say I takes years of blacksmithing to learn how to do these. But I just watched these videos then did it. the two handles took just under 16 feet of 1/4 inch round stock . http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TWfMvhpAZ_g
