Cut the rear frame off an inch infront of the rear shock mounts and started fabing up my new frame sections. I also cut about 3 inches of body off from below the tailgate so the new frame can sit up higher

James, reading this just reminded me you texted me awhile back about your rear frame section. Sorry I've been busy with this new job. I don't think I'm going to use it. Depending on my desired wheelbase I may lengthen my frame which would be easier to do from scratch. If you have a strong desire to transport it to Blacksburg I'll dispose of it for you in Hippies scrap yard. That way if I do need it I'll have it.
